Tea Sachet Gift Set

 

The Project of the Month at Whiff of Joy is to make a gift set that involves tea. What I made is something super quick and easy. I took a plastic Pillow Box (available at Embellish-Online.com) and decorated it with pretty papers from BasicGrey's Eva collection (I am hoarding the paisley paper - it is one of my faves). The pillow box fits right into the mug, which can then be wrapped with clear wrapping paper and tied with a pretty bow.

Card Details: I used my Cuttlebug Tiny Tags die cuts to make the tag. A white frosted glass heart bead from a jewelry store dangles from the tag with a little snippet of May Arts velvet ribbon.

The gorgeous velvet corduroy ribbon is from Making Memories Passport collection. The small scallops on the paper were made with Stampin' Up!'s Scallop Edge punch.

Willow was colored with Copics and embellished with opaque white pen and Mint Green Liquid Pearls on her pants. Her cup has Crystal Effects and was created using the Curve and Pop method (a tutorial for that is here).

I stamped the sentiment Celebrate The Everyday repeatedly in Memento Bamboo LeavesInk and wrapped the goodies up to put in the pillow box. The words peek through the clear plastic.

A packet of cocoa or up to 4 tea bags will fit in the pillow box nicely. Twinings Vanilla Tea is made with black tea and vanilla pods. It smells and tastes just like sweet vanilla cream cake. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but now I love it.

I know some of you are wondering where my Stampin' Up! cards are - I just got in my Christmas stamps and I have been busy coloring up a storm, so look for those soon. The deadline has passed for the Odd Bird Planet Design Team tryouts so if I get brave enough to show you my cards I will :) We are heading to a Wine Tasting event tonight so maybe after I return would be the time to post- one glass and I am gone, lol! I am so nervous, I really hope they are good enough.

Thanks for stopping by!
