Hoppy Birthday and Mother's Day Tea

Here is a fun card I whipped up really quick since DS#4 needed a card for a b-day party.  I love how Guidelines 2 can be a fast fix for guy cards, yound and old.  I used the frog from Pond Life and also the Hoppy and the Birthday.  I put tape over the part of the sentiment that I didn't want to stamp, inked up the stamp, removed the tape, and I only got the words that I wanted. I also used my Nestability Stars. 

Next is a  group of fun gift sets I made for the church bookstore.  The sentiment is mainly from Warm Happiness but I did insert the "Mom" from Women of Life and used the tape trick again to remove the "a friend".  The tea pot is from the Tea for Two stamp set.  The patterned paper I used is from the Making Memories Flower Patch collection.  This collection is what the Stampin' Flybaby's Spring Craft Kit contains.  So fun and cheery!!!  Thanks again, Lauren, for your wonderful Timeless Template, available only from www.papertreyink.com !!!!!!

I backed the openings in the box with the heavy plastic that the PTI stamps come on originally.  I'm so good at recycling!  lol

Oh Diane! Those tea boxes are just precious! Wow, they are going to go like hotcakes (do hotcakes go with tea?) at the bookstore!

Love the card for DS! Love the frogs all over. The first thing I saw and thought...how in the world do frogs go with Mother's Day? I was quite puzzled and shocked. Then I realized it was for your son! LOL

Great Card. I think Pond Life is one of my favorite sets. I don't use it nearly enough. That card is a perfect "boy" card.
