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.
