A monkey on a Christmas card? !!!

Yes, I was asked to make a Christmas card with a monkey on it ... and since it's for my son-in-law to be, I thought I'd better oblige!!!

Here it is:

It's a gate-fold card.  I gave the monkey some Christmas-red shorts, added some Inkadinkado flourishes, Flower Soft snow and Card Candi ... et voila!

The monkey image was a freebie - if anyone recognises it, please let me know who drew it, so I can credit them :)

Teapot gift set

Here is a cute little set I made for my mum's friend.  It was her birthday last week and she's feeling a bit under the weather, so I hope this cheered her up :)

I used the Teapot Shaped card and Teabag Holder, both available from The Cutting Cafe.  The card even comes with a matching envelope which I decorated to match the teapot.

Inside the Teabag holder, I have put a couple of Fennel teabags with brewing instructions.

There are tons of fab files and inspiration at the Cutting Cafe, pop over and have a look!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend xx
