Good Morning!
Hopefully, you are all having a wonderful week!
Today, I have another quick project for Crafting with Deedee's Digis.
I have a quick tutorial for you.
Deedee had this Tea-Riffic set in her store that I just knew I needed to create with!
I decided to make a teabag holder. I found the instructions at Splitcoast Stampers in their Resource Section. It was easier than falling off a log - no kidding! (Thanks Beate!!!) Hope you all head over to Deedee's new store, grab this set, and make some for yourselves!
Deedee's Happy Monday Challenge this week is to Button it Up (use buttons on our projects). This button addict certainly had no problem digging up some buttons!
Start with a piece of cardstock that measures 3.5" x 7.75"
With the long edge at the top of the Scor-Pal, score at 3.5" and at 4.5"
Pre-fold all score lines.
Your cardstock will look like this.
Take a piece of patterned paper 6.5" x 7" and place the 6.5" at the top of the Scor-Pal.
Score at 1/2" and at 3/5"
Pre-fold score lines.
It will look like this. Place adhesive along the 1/2" section of paper.
Adhere, then score, by lining up the paper sleeve with the 1/2" score line.
Score at 3 5/8"
Turn the DP 180 degrees. Line up the other side at 1/2"
Score again at 3 5/8"
Pre-fold both score lines.
Slide your DP partially into a 1.25" circle punch. Center and punch. Line up the other side of the DP and punch again.
Place adhesive over the back of the DP spine.
It will look like this.
Adhere the sleeve into the center of the cardstock, tape side down.
Adhere the sleeve into the center of the cardstock, tape side down.
It will look like this.
Turn cardstock over, and tie a ribbon around the base.

I used my Tiny Stapler by Tim Holtz to reinforce my holder.
Add some tea bags, and decorate the front as desired!
Voila!

Voila!
A fun, and very easy gift for someone special!
Wouldn't these make Tea-Riffic gifts in staff mailboxes, or a get well card?

Have a great Wednesday!
I'm off to the big city with my dear friend Shirley today.
We never had a chance to celebrate Christmas together, and today is the day!
Hugs and smiles,

What a super idea. There's something about a card with a teapot that says "friendship" and caring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of this pattern! Great demo and yu sample is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have stopped by twice to admire your sweet little tea card...I need to sit down when it's peaceful here and go over the directions again. I think it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! :o)
A great tutorial, Patti, and such a lovely sample you have made! I love the soft, sweet colors combined with the warm browns you used -- very feminine! I never think to make things like this, and wonder how anyone comes up with the ideas to start with. I so appreciate you sharing this. You give such clear directions, and all your beautiful photos are so helpful, being someone who needs to "see" it to understand it. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're "tea-riffic" too PattI! thanks for the fun project!
