This uber cool card made from a paper bag comes from DebNeerman. I love the colors and the use of hard metals and soft flowers, it’s a wonderful combination and a great way to recycle!

Did you know January is Hot Tea Month? No? Well, me neither. But apparently it is so get out those tea-cup stamps and make a friend a card. Or if you’re looking for any other excuse to stamp a card check out the Wacky Holidays calender for 2012. Find fun monthly and daily holidays you never knew existed.

Sample made by me using Greeting Farm stamps.
