CardzTV Design Team Blog Hop May 5th and 6th "MOM's the Word"

Welcome! We're having a Blog Hop at CardzTV. The theme is "MOM's the Word" (Create a card, craft or gift for Mother's Day). Now if you have come from Theresa The Scrapbooking Queen, you are in the right place; however, if you just happen to stop by and would like to start at the beginning, click here to start at CardzTV.

For the past few years, my sister-in-law has invited me to her house for Mother's Day, as well as her sister, husband's sister, daughter-in-law and her two granddaughters. We all usually bring a small gift for the other ladies. This is my gift to them this year:


Inside the tissue paper is a candle and candle holder:


This is the teacups without the candles inside:


Finished Teacup: approximately 4 1/4" across x 2 1/2" high

Materials (for each teacup):
Cardstock: Double-sided Patterned and White
Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 Teacup, page 29 (Base, cut at 10")
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Happy Days "Happy Mother's Day!"
StazOn Jet Black Ink
Lace
Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread
Crinkle Paper
Candle and Candle Holder
Tissue Paper
Ribbon

I hope you can see that the tags are suppose to look like a the end of a teabag. I used hot glue to put the teacups together (to make it stronger) and I adhered the saucers to the bottom of the cups. The lace is to make it look a little more feminine. Each cup has a different scented candle. Don't you think the ladies will like them?

Now who doesn't like Blog Candy? Well first, Mary at CardzTV is giving away 2 sets of stamps (winner's choice). Don't forget to check it out.

I have Blog Candy too...Woo Hoo! I am giving away a 6" x 6" A Mind's Eye Paper Pad "Meadowlark", Ink IT Up! Black Pigment Ink Pad and a set of ten Inkadinkado Clear Stamps "Friendly Characters".


In order to win, please leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm EST May 6th. ALSO, you MUST be a follower and leave me a way to contact you (in case you are the winner). I will pick a winner on Monday, May 7th.

Your next stop is Kate at Scrappers Creative Corner.

Here is the entire line-up (in case you get lost):

  9. Your teacup gift holders are so sweet! They would be lovely to hold little treats as well. My SILs and myself (I was the only girl in a family of five) try to get together once a year for a tea party and we have so much fun. I usually try to have some sort of little favour for them to take home. These would be perfect!
    Thank you so much for the very clever and inspirational idea! :)
