Creative Belli Challenge 104 - Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

Happy Hump Day! We are almost there...to another crazy weekend here...lol. Never a dull moment here for sure. Well, today we have a new challenge for you over at the Creative Belli Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge is called: Something Borrowed, Something Old, Something New and/or Something Blue (not necessarily a wedding card). Now...let me clarify that a little...lol. The idea here is to do one or more of those things on your card, BUT it doesn't mean it has to be a wedding card. Don't forget...we still want you to stick to the main idea behind the Belli challenge too...use at least one thing from your stash! I decided to go with the "blue" and "old" parts of the challenge.I made this little mug card. I decided to make it "BLUE" and I used some "OLD" PP, and the template I used is "OLD" too. I traced the mug template onto the light blue CS. After cutting it out, you glue down the bottom and the side of the mug. This creates a pocket at the top to slide in a hot cocoa packet, coffee single, or as I did...a tea bag. After you have glued down the pocket sides, you can decorate to your liking. I went with this adorable Cocoa Mouse image from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I stamped it onto white CS, then paper pieced the blue polka dot paper onto that. I added some stickles to the mug too. For the sentinment, I stamped it onto white CS and punched it out with an oval punch. I punched a scallop oval with the same PP I used on the mug. I attached a piece of blue ribbon, and put the sentiment on top of that with foam tape. I decided to make a little "pull tab" for my tea bag. I wanted to make it look like the little tag that hangs from a tea bag. I punched 2 squares from the PP, and stamped the sentiment onto them. I attached them together, but placed the end of the ribbon in first. Next, I attached some ribbon adhesive to the tea bag packet, and glued my ribbon onto it.

Now it is your turn! We would love to see your version of this challenge. Head on over to the Creative Belli Challenge Blog, and check out the rest of the DT's creations, then attach a link to your's at the bottom of the Challenge 104 post. Looking forward to checking out your version of: Something Borrowed, Something Old, Something New and/or Something Blue (not necessarily a wedding card).
