Tealightful Day Double Diagonal Pocket

I just want to drink tea and make things. I saw that saying awhile back and thought "yeah, that fit's me pretty well."  Of course to those two passions, I'd have to add reading and Louisa!  

I love to read and drink tea - that's my favorite meditation.  I often read while I eat, too.  

Louisa will insistently say "book" while she's eating.  I give her a board book that can easily be wiped off.  She's still a little messy.  But, she's starting out right!  At breakfast, she'll point to our tea and say "Tea hot!"

I made a double diagonal pocket to feature these adorable stamps and to hold two of my favorite teas.

I'm totally into the storybook look of this teacup.  

I had so much fun coloring and putting this together.  The tea pocket with the sun has Irish Breakfast Tea.  It's strong and wonderful and gets you going in the morning.  The pocket with the moon has Extra Sleepy Time Herbal Tea, which is perfect at night.  A perfect little thinking of you gift.

The pockets:  diagonal double pocket and the little pockets for the tea bags are super easy to make.  I've got a video on how to fold them and I also give a couple of tips on the Tealightful Day stamps.  Here's the video:





Have a tealightful day!

Pocket Full of Posies for The Cutting Cafe

This pocket is full of posies (and maybe some other goodies, too)!   This week the DT is showcasing pockets at The Cutting Cafe.   Both Sending You A Pocket Full of Wishes and the Pocket Shaped Card set are full of darling images and you get two different shaped pockets in the cut file!

I used the side pocket as a pattern to cut the denim and then used yellow thread to sew it together. 

Tried to make it look somewhat like a real jean's pocket.  The cute image I used has a tag in the pocket, so I did the same.

I glued the flowers to the top of the decorative paper so that it made a pocket - perfect for a gift card.  The loopy bow is attached to the pocket with a small clothespin.

Regina will have all the pocket creations on the The Cutting Cafe blog tomorrow and she almost always has some kind of special or giveaway.  Be sure to check it out!
