Stampin' Up! Tea Pig Pyramids

Thought I'd share my team mates play day swaps today.

I wanted to do a 3-D project containing something non-fattening,

as we are trying to eat healthily. 

So I had the idea of a Tea Pig holder.....I've only just discovered these posh tea bags,

as I was scouring the supermarket shelves for some herbal teas.

The 'straws' that act as the closure, were up-cycled from cutlery packaging.

I used some of the new gold embossed vellum from Stampin' Up!

Here's a close-up

Here's a peek of the inside

I hope you enjoy your next cuppa!

challenge #25

So, have you got snow? We have quite a bit, so I gritted our steep drive, and my better half managed to get home from work early, thank goodness.

I had another go at a Paper Crew Challenge (#25)

hopefully this link will take you there.

I decided on a valentine theme this time, but tried to make it masculine rather than too girly.

I just love the postage stamp punch, and have a lot of the 'itty bitty' family.

See how the mini ones fit the bigger one perfectly!

Great for layering up.

Here's a close-up of the detail.

Colours: melon mambo, basic grey, old olive

Stamp sets: lovely little labels, my little valentine, collage curios
Punches: little labels, itty bitty shapes, postage stamp, 1 inch square
