Making a Tea Bag Card

This is a card the people love and are always asking me to make for them.

The questions that I am always asked is what Die Cut did I use?

So I decided to make a card and take pictures as I go.

The Die Cut is from the "Every Day Paper Doll" cartridge from Cricut  

I embossed the teapot and cup with a Script fold by Cutterbug.

Next I inked the teapot and cut
 

I like to make a slite in th back of the tea bag package.

Then pull the tea bag tag out of the package.

I take a craft knife and cut a slit trough the Die Cut and Card along paper piercing along the top of the cup. 

Making sure the cut goes through the card.

Pull the tea bag tag through the slit.

Pull the string of the tea bag tag through enough so that the tag will hang like it is coming out of a tea cup.

Place a double sided tape on the back of the tea bag package.

I like to place the tea bag package on the top of the inside of the card so that you can read the package.

Here is the finished product.



Thanks for looking.

Jack & Jill Cristmas Card

My first GingerBread House

I was ask to decorate a Gingerbread house using the Wilton Gingerbread House Kit for A.C.Moore

I have never decorated a Gingerbread House 

So I decided to use what was in the kit



I was told by the Wilton Instructor the it would be better to decorate the panels before assembling the house



This seemed to make since to me so I decorated the panel and let them dry before assembling

Faith Blog Hop - Standing on God's Promises

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Welcome to the God's Promises Faith Blog Hop. If you arrived here from (Link of blog prior to you) you are in the right place. If you just arrived at my blog, you should go to Paper Tree House Studio (www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com) in order to start at the beginning. Every month a group of brave women get together to showcase the Glory of God. This month we want to showcase His faithfulness during trying times, so kick back, relax and let the Lord touch your heart with His Truth!


Did you know that there are 1260 promises in the Bible? I did not count them myself, but am blown away by the fact that each and every promise the Lord gives, He is faithful to fulfill. It is pretty easy to believe this when times are easy and abundance surrounds our lives, but is that the same when trouble hits?

The Bible says that our hearts are deceitful above all things and then it adds WHO CAN TRUST IT? Have you ever considered that maybe the reason why we dont trust God is because we spend more time looking at how big the waves in our lives have become and forget that God created the entire UNIVERSE with just His breath... Think about it, the Lord spoke the ENTIRE World into existence... the only thing created that was made with His hands was man and woman. That is why He says that if He provides for the birds and the plants, how much more to His children? You are precious to the Lord and He will not fail you, even when it feels He might.

In this hop you will read the stories of women like you that have faced trouble and probably even lacked the faith to believe in the miracle the Lord performed at the very end! Our prayer is that you would open your heart to the Truth found in these promises and that you would even share with us what God has done in your life. Your victory may become our hope... :)

During the hop you will find many chances to win prizes! All you have to do to be considered for one of those prizes is leave a comment and become a follower of the blogs you will hop through. For the Grand Prizes , make sure to leave a comment, become a follower, and "LIKE" Paper Tree House on Facebook. This will allow you to find out about future hops we will be having.

Here are the brave women that dared to share their stories:

Love in Christ,

I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus. John 17:23

For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed. John 17:26

He is the exact representation of my being. Hebrews 1:3

I made this card for my father-in-law for Father's Day.

I decided to use this for the Blog Hop because fathers were giving to use to be an example of how our relationship is to be with Our Father (God).

Jesus was given to us to be an example.

His life and how He lived is how we are to model our lives.

Thank you Dear Lord for Your Love Letter

&

Your Son Jesus

I was blessed to have been given several examples of what and father's love should be:

Father, Granfather, Uncles and Father-in-Law.

This is what the inside of the card said:

"He didn't tell me how to live;

He lived,

And let me watch him do it."
