of coffee. How about you?

of gold paper with number dies.

Happy New Year's Eve


The last post of 2019 and before I go off to
friends to celebrate, I want to share with you
my last piece of artwork of this year:

I got my friend a champagne cooler with 
hyacints and a fun champagne decoration.
Of course I had to add a tage made by me.
For the tag I used Tim Holtz Holiday stamps
and a star stencil. The snowman is made with the punch and
stamps from the Stampin'Up! set Snowman Season.

Thank you for looking

Simon Says: Party Time (2)

On the 
it is also Party Time!

Yesterday I had a Coffee Party at the
office, but not everyone is into coffee,
so I also made Tea Treatbags.

This is a special folded treat bag, where you can easily
add a bag of tea inside. You find the way to fold
this HERE. How I love Pinterest to find these folds!

These treat bag can hold 2 tea bags, but you can
also add a card and one tea bag.
So here is the other side with the card inside.
The image is a vintage printable
as it the tea time image on the card.
The background paper is by Stampin'Up!
And I stamped the year.
On the otherside a package of winter tea
is inside the pocket.
The sentiment is by Verve Stamps.
The teacup is by Studio Light
and a little text is just typed up
to make it for the New Year.

The treat bag sideways.

The top of the treat bag is punched with 
a star to add the ribbon through.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!
