Easy Assembly Tutorial...

The bows back layer is done first. Add a dot of glue to the center of the piece. Then gently curve one end over to the middle and attach. Let dry.  Tip: I find it helpful to gently curve the arches in the bow by wrapping it around the side of a pencil.

 

Now add another dot of glue and fold the other side over and attach to the middle.

 

Glue the 3D bow layers for the tie and knot. On the tie I just glue the tops together leaving the ends loose along the bottoms adding dimension. Now add the bow second layer by placing a dot of glue to the center of the back as shown (above right) and attaching the it just on that one spot.

Flip the bow over and again apply a dot of glue in the center as shown. Fold one end of the top bow layer over and attach.

 

Repeat for other side of bow placing a dot of glue again to the center, folding over the other end and adhere. Next attach the bow ties to the back of bow. 

To attach the knot glue one end to the back of bow, gently wrap it around the middle and glue the other end to back.

The bows come with two options for the ties. One is the traditional straight ends and the second has the ties hanging down. Both are assembled in the same way.

Friendship Tea and Japanese Flower Girls Part 3

Here's the 3rd and final post in our tea series with the JAPANESE FLOWER GIRLS. This card front uses 'Hannah' (meaning favorite flower) from the  set

 

 

Peachy pinks, apple-y greens, then a touch of black. Love the colors. The box is from the DESIGNER BOXES set, 3 rhinestones along the bottom of the box and one for the flower center in the flower girl's hair add a sparkle.

I really like how April makes the inside of her gifts as fun and uplifting as the outside. Here she tucked one of the printable greetings from the TEA CUPS & TAGS set on the underside of the lid. Coordinating bits of cardstock are stapled to the original tea tag.

April used the svg cutting files from the following sets.

A Cup of Tea Card And Tea Gift Box Part 2

Are you a tea lover or know someone in your life that is. Here is a wonderful idea for a friend, a birthday, Mother's day, a hostess or thank you gift.

 

Several years ago our friend April created this beautiful set of tea cards and tea gift boxes. We love these as much today as we did back then so we had to share them with you.  
 

Beautiful and unexpected colors of purple and apple green add a happy note to the front of the card. The flower girl 'Miki' is on the front. Her name means 'beautiful princess'. She is one of 3 flower girls in JAPANESE FLOWER GIRLS set. The flowers are included with the set in the Cherry Blossom file.

 

On the outside of the gift box, April used the cherry blossom branch again and then added a tea cup and printed tag from the TEA CUPS & TAGS collection. You'll find a full page of quotes ready to print and cut included with the tea cup patterns. Sure makes it quick and fun to put this project together.

 

When you lift the lid you are greeted again with 'Miki'.

 

For the box itself, April choose the square PIE BOX,  enlarged it to fit the containers, deleted the window on the top and added side panels.

She found the little plastic heart containers at the dollar store and filled them with and assortment of loose leaf teas and added labels. You could also add an assortment of individually packaged tea bags.

April used the svg cutting files from the following sets.

3 Gifts of Tea and the Japanese Flower Girls SVGs - Part 1

We're heading into fall and cooler weather so it's the perfect time to enjoy a cup of tea and share a cup with a friend. Alma from our design team is creating cheerful tea bag dispensers using the 3 princesses from the Japanese Flower Girls collection and the Dispenser Box.

 

 

The 3 princesses from this collection were given special names.. Let me introduce you...

 

 

The first is Miki. Her name means "beautiful princess". 

 

 

This is Hana. Her name means "favorite flower". The branch of cherry blossoms is included with collection and looks beautiful on the front of each dispenser.

 

 

 

And the third flower girl is called Sakura. Her name means "cherry blossom". 

 

When Alma shared her tea dispensers with us we were really tickled and recalled some projects our friend April did for us several years ago. We are going to make this a 3 part series and share those with you as well.

 

These little Japanese Flower Girls are such the perfect characters to add to any tea related project.

Valentine Bears ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello.  Today I am sharing a project with you from My Scrap Chick.  I have joined their team for the upcoming year and am very excited to share my project with you.

I made a Valentine card using several files: Bear In Top Hat Valentine, Dressed Up Valentine Bear, Cupids Cloud Valentine, Girl Valentine Bear and the Easel Card Collection.

I used the Girl Valentine Bear as the stop on the base of the card and I added some Black Licorice - Trendy Twine to "sprinkle" the hearts.

I really love how it all turned out.
Thank you for stopping by, have a crafty day.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G.
