Tea Bag Holder Card

I thought I'd quickly share a recent project. This one has been simplified a bit because I'm presenting it to kids as a possibility to make:


All images copyright Stampin' Up!. All materials from Stampin' Up!--except for the tea. ;)

I got the basic instructions from this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj2Ryw6o9VI and even managed to find her blog: http://iwannabuildamemory.blogspot.ca/2011/09/tea-bag-holder-card-tutorial-for-kraft.html I was going to make it with Christmas paper, but I figured for just a base idea, I would use something else that I could still potentially add more to and give away.


Never, Ever

Never, ever be without a Versamark refill!!!!



My Versamark pad has been drying up. I meant to get an ink refiller, but forgot and now it's too late at this point to get a refill since I need it immediately.

So, I went to a craft store. I won't name names. I paid, omg, I paid $13.49. I knew this was more expensive than through Stampin' Up! but not how much. But I needed it now.

Turns out, it's only $9.95 in the current catalogue. And demonstrators get an additional discount. And the refill is only $5.25.


That reminds me that I also don't have a Real Red refiller and my pad has essentially dried up. I have some other favourite colours that I don't have refillers for. Guess I know what will be on my next order?
