Magical Tea House


 Hello EO friends! Today I have made a magical card full of whimsy and cheerful fun. It features a tea house perfectly made for two cute Girl Gnome Brads. Flying above in the blue sky are the new Mini Butterfly Brads.

To make this card, I first cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 1/2." I cut it in half to form two long narrow pieces. I applied strips of Red/White Dot Washi to one strip and Strawberry Washi to the other. Then I cut each strip in half so that I had 4 rectangles of equal size. I placed the pieces on my score board and spaced each the same apart from each other, using the score lines as a guide. To keep them in place I attached them each together with a strip of washi tape. Be sure to lay out the pieces right side up as you do this. Next I added foam tape strips to the back of each rectangle and then I placed them as one piece on a white A2 card base. Once in place, I removed the washi tape that held each piece in place. This technique makes each rectangle perfectly spaced without any hassle or guessing. It's an old cardmaking technique but a good one!

Keep Calm

 Months ago, when our driving brads "rolled out," I had this idea in my mind, but never made it happen. The last ten days I've been under the weather suffering from oak pollen allergies and have hardly gotten off the sofa (which is why you didn't hear from me last week). My housework and laundry are piling up and I actually DO feel like the wheels are coming off!


I created this pocket envelope and the car with my Cricut, using the slice tool to cut the existing wheels off of the the car.


I added a few Eyelet Outlet wheel brads from the Driving Brads set to the front as though they were bouncing off the car. The digital paper on the inside of my pocket envelope is from The Digi Rainbow on Etsy. The set is called, "Beep Beep."  For the card that slips into the envelope, I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet grass washi tape and then on top of that I added a strip of our road washi tape

Hopefully I'm no the road to recovery now! Thanks for stopping by today.
