Tuesday Treats: Tea for Two

Hi All! Just a quick post to share a fun little treat box project with you today. (Here is a link to my inspiration.)

So let's take a look:

I created this box using Whisper and White Daisy cardstocks by Close To My Heart, along with the new Sugar Rush paper pack. The flowers and heart shape is from CTMH's January Stamp Of The Month: Adore You. The sentiment itself is from the (now-retired) December Stamp of The Month: Thoughtful Flowers. I stamped the sentiment on White Daisy cardstock in Whisper ink, and colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils. I then cut out the image and popped it up on the front with foam tape. Finally, I added some eyelets and White & Gold ribbon for a closure.

Here's a look at the inside:

The box will hold two tea bags and three Ghirardelli chocolates (or four as a tight squeeze). You could also fit a nice little gift card in it if you would like.

Here's the treat box one more time:

Pretty cool, huh? I thought it would make a fun little teachers gift. Stay tuned for some more treat ideas coming soon!

Until then, have a wonderfully creative day!

Kraft-y Hearts Blog Share: Day 3

Celebrating Close To My Heart's

February Stamp Of The Month: Home Sweet Home

Hi All! Welcome to Day 3 of the Kraft-y Hearts Blog Share! I hope you're finding lots of inspiration for your Close To My Heart February Stamp Of The Month: Home Sweet Home stamp set. What?! You don't have it yet?? Just click here to order it...Don't worry...we'll wait....

I decided to call today's project (which I am linking to the Heart 2 Heart Tag It challenge) my "Tea &..." folio.

The folio is made from Kraft Cardstock. It's essentially a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4-inch card that I scored at 1 1/4 inches along the bottom to create pockets. I scored the left side at 3/8-inch and punched 2 holes to bind it. A little Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon does a great job for the binding. I covered the outside and part of the inside with Chantilly Paper. The little flower was made with a punch in my collection and the "Just For You" sentiment is from the Card Word Puzzle stamp set. (A hugely versatile, go-to set for me.) The sentiment is stamped in Twilight Exclusive Ink on Crystal Blue Cardstock. I added a couple of small wooden buttons from the Mini-Medley Accents Wooden Collection tied with bakers twine for a little fun.

The tag that tucks in the front pocket doubles as a bookmark. (I ask you, what better use could you find for a Jane Austen quote?) The quote (which is from the Stamp Of The Month set) is stamped in Twilight Exclusive Ink on Sweet Leaf Cardstock. The bookmark is cut from a double layer of Crystal Blue Cardstock and accented with Chantilly Paper. (Chantilly just says "Jane Austen" to me.) I used Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon and bakers twine to add a tie to the tag. Because I'm using this as a bookmark, I left off the bling. (Gasp! I know, right!) But books don't need the bulk of the bling. 

When you open up the folio, there's another little pocket for a tea bag. Cute, yes? I left the inside cover blank to add a sentiment later. It could be "Tea & Thanks" or "Tea & Sympathy" or "Tea & Just Because," I haven't decided yet.

Here's a little collage of the details:

I hope you enjoyed today's Tea &....folio. And I hope you've been inspired to create something beautiful with the February Stamp of The Month: Home Sweet Home. Remember, that the stamp of the month can be yours for $5 with any qualifying order of $50 or more, or you can purchase it on its own for $17.95. Now, if you haven't made it over to From My Bungalow to see what the oh-so-talented Lynn Darda, has been up to this month, hop on over! See you soon!
