Happy Birthday to a Tea-riffic Friend

For the Luck of the Irish Challenge click

I made this for a friend at work she is a tea drinker
made the sentiment on my computer especially for her with word
in a circle punched with 1 3/4 inch circle punch
placed on top of scallop punch with PTI chocolate brown
Pattern paper from K&Company 
this little card holds two tea bags
Cut the cover 6 3/4 by 3 1/2
score at 3 1/8 and 3 5/8
this will create a little book

Inside cut 6 1/2 by 5 1/2
on the 6 1/2 inch side score at 3 and 3 1/2
on the 5 1/2 inch side score at 1/2  and 3
run glue down the 1/2 score line something strong to hold together
I used sticky strip
fold and insert in to first fold glue in the center fold 
I put two holes in the binding and ran some crinkle ribbon and tied with a bow



Entered in 
Use Green 

and 
DL Art Thankful Thursday 
 Make a card any occasion, with at least three layers, a bow and some bling.

Like the stay light later but wish I could get that hour of my weekend back :)

    I feel terrible that I didn't have a chance to play in the Bow & button challenge, hope you can forgive me:) On the bright side I just finished a card for the luck of the Irish challenge. I will take pics tomorrow and link up!
    Have a GREAT night and WONDERFUL day tomorrow!
