We had a brief respite from the cold so over the weekend it was Spring cleaning -indoors and out for us. It felt so good to get out some lounge chairs (protected under the patio roof) and to put away my dark, heavy boots and clothing! Of course, it got very cold again with the threat of a bit of snow today so I've been warming up with these teas the last several days, steeped in a practical mug which keeps the tea hot for quite a long time:
T also stands for transparent which is the challenge theme this week At the Simon Monday blog so I have quickly made a set of CAS note cards I can use for any occasion. The theme for the Simon Wednesday blog challenge is glitter it! so I am also linking there. Both of these blogs offer a generous $50 GC to a randomly chosen winner from the entries-EVERY WEEK, along with a new theme challenge. It's so easy to be inspired-especially with all the DT entries-really fabulously detailed projects!
The cards:
These last two cards probably took all of two minutes! Al I had to do was cut the printed vellums to the note card size, run a bit of glue (gluestick) along the fold and voila-instant lovely note cards! Unfortunately I've had these vellum papers in my stash awhile so I no longer have the makers names.
Drinking tea with a pinch of imagination!
we have some stash earl grey tea on the counter right now. i hadn't heard of that brand until recently. your cards are very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day to you dear Linda from snowy Virginia :)
ReplyDeleteI just came across my vellum 12 x 12 paper stash the other day...
your cards are all really lovely!
The Tulsi teas are a favorite of mine...they have a delicate rose tea which has so many healing properties and delicate flavor...
Happy almost Spring

Happy T Day! Your tea selections come in pretty boxes. I've never heard of Tulsi before. I'll have to Google that one.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making so many notecards. The sheer vellum and the glitter sparkles are so elegant and lovely.
Hello Linda, these cards are SO PRETTY!! I love them and how easy you make it seem. I am slow at cards and no way could I get one done in two minutes. That is so nice you got to have "spring" over the weekend, would love to just sit outside and enjoy a warm day. As you saw in my post I did this in past winters but not this one. Stay warm and enjoy the warm teas while you can and hopefully spring will be back and STAY FOR ALL OF US THIS TIME!!
ReplyDeletePretty cards on this Tuesday Tea Day :) I usually forget about the vellum in the cupboard and you can do so much with it!
ReplyDeleteREally lovely cards! that looks like a really serious hot beverage cup, all insulated and shiny...the tea chasers after the coffee sounds perfect...
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and like dawn say, you make them all seem so easy!
ReplyDeleteLinda your cards for the challenge are so pretty. They remind me of Spring. Thank you for sharing them here. I'm a fan of vellum too and have created couple of Birthday cards with them in the past.
ReplyDeleteSaw the giveaway post and have commented there. Thank you for the generous offer.

Beautiful cards Linda!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Linda...these are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy (day late) T-Day!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful cards. I especially like the last 2 and interesting that you said they are the easiest to make. Sometimes keeping the process simple is the best. I've never used vellum but I love the way they look.
Gorgeous cards Linda.... your tea looks lovely :)

Just got home awhile ago, and couldn't wait to see what you had come up with this week.
ReplyDeleteYour tea is beautiful, and I would use the bags the tea came in for my art. But I would need a bit, no a LOT, of caffeine to keep me going.
Your cards are beautiful. I kept thinking what a great cardmaker you are as I was looking at each one. However, I have never had any luck with vellum. I was of the opinion you had to buy special tape that won't show through the vellum. Even glue stick shows through when I use it on vellum. You did a marvelous job on yours, though.
Thanks for sharing these beauties for T this week.
I will join you on the green tea - thanks. Great crop of cards there. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI recently found some great vellum on ebay which I love.
Hugs

What a lovely set of cards and the sentiments are beautiful on the vellum over the pretty papers! Our weather has been fluctuating as well and I can't wait for the warm weather to stay. Thanks for playing along with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge!
