tea-stained trinkets...

Happy Thursday and Happy Veteran's Day....I'm enjoying a day at home with my little one.  We're happy to be tucked inside on this blustery, cold day.

I'm bringing you a couple of projects using bits and pieces from my Tea-Stained Christmas Pockets....just a few ideas of what you can do with some of the contents.

 
This sample uses just a snippet of the tea-stained recipe card framed in by the glittered chipboard frame...tea-stained fabric bits in the background, the vintage chenille candy cane embellished with some tea-stained twill and that cute, little, rusty jingle bell.

This next card uses one of the stamped envelopes included in the kit...I've wrapped fabric bits around the edges of the envelope...

I wrapped the twill around the envelope and embellished the bow with the berries also included in the kit.

I used Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas Clear Arts Stamp Set on the envelope and added in a cutting from Crafty Secrets Merry Christmas Double-Sided Creative Scraps.

Lastly, a card using Papertrey Ink Holly Jolly stamps, tea-stained fabric, Memrie Mare scrunched seam binding, Maya Road trim, a rusty jingle bell, and K&Co. paper, chipboard, die cut, and stickers.  

The tiny tea-stained tag is from Mish's etsy shop.

I would love to see what you do with your kits once you receive them....enjoy!

Just wanted to take a second to gush about you and your blog. I so enjoy reading your eloquent posts and looking at (and sometimes reproducing) your ever so delightful projects. You are more than inspiring, you are innovative! And your appreciation for life and it's little blessings is refreshing.

I love these, Melissa! Makes me so excited for the holidays! Would love to own one of the kits. Do you sell directly to customers or just through your etsy shop (my DH doesn't like me to buy online).

[Romaine]

Oh, these are all bliss, Melissa!

I'm still trying to make cards as good as yours. Darn good thing I'm not getting graded on this because I'd fail for sure!
