Exploding Tea Box!

Making 5 exploding boxes for a friend to mail out to others!

The paper pad is a "Hot Buy" 12 x 12" pad from Michael's titled "Tea Party".

I also left the little white tag on the front blank so someone can write what they'd like on the tag. (To/From, happy birthday, etc)

Below is the first layer. Each pocket has either a note or some teabags in the next picture.

Tea bags included are: Tazo Calm chamomile, Decaf Lotus blossom, Lipton Green Tea with Acai, and an organic nettle leaf tea.

Close ups of layer number 2. Adore this rose paper with the shiny gold foil backdrop!

Third inner layer! I left the center flat so a small gift can be placed inside. (More tea, small candle, soap, bath bomb, etc)

Don't forget to link up your projects by 11:55pm tonight! (Friday May 29th, 2020)

Books + Coffee = Happiness

Another card using stamps from The Ton. I just adore this sentiment too because a good book and a cup (or in my case, a pot) of coffee is very much my happy place!

This project is number 1160 in the hop

Sweet Birthday

Had to have these sweet macaroon stamps!! Plus, what better to go with them than your favorite coffee or tea?

Glitter on the mug for some serious birthday sparkle.  :)

This is number 1093 in the blog hop.

Happy Place

Another stamp set from The Ton Stamps! This one is called "Happy Place". The peony and book stamp along with the sentiment came from that set. The coffee mug is an older stamp I've had for a while now, not even sure who made it.

The sentiment reads, "Reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are." ~Mason Cooley

Added some Glossy Accents to the coffee and some cute sequins. (The sequins are from Dollar Tree! Crafting on a budget for the little details.)

This project is number 745 in the blog hop.

Sealed With A Kiss

Found this cute seal in my stash and he just had to balance a coffee (or tea)

travel cup on his nose.

For the background, I used 2 Distress Ink colors, Weathered Wood and Scattered Straw.

And, of course, a sequin falls off while i'm trying to photograph the card....figures, lol!

This card is number 690 in the blog hop.

Healing Orchids

These gorgeous orchid stamps are from The Ton Stamps...my favorite stamp company! I fall in love with all of their designs!

I stamped these orchids in a bunch of fun colors of Catherine Pooler's amazing ink pads and just adore the way they turned out.

Thinking of trying to add some gold heat embossing on a larger card for a fun birthday motif.

This project is number 490 in the hop.

The First 2020 Coffee and Tea Lovers Blog Hop has begun!

Happy Memorial Day weekend and the start of the best bloghop online! Click the image below to see tons of coffee/tea/cocoa inspired papercrafting projects!

I've been wanted to create an exploding box for months now, and finally have a bit of time to do so. This first box will be themed for the tea lovers.

Here is the base layer completed, and, don't worry, I will post lots of pictures of the entire box once it's completed.  The paper is from the "Hot Buy" paper pads at Michael's, this one is titled "Tea Party". The small tea cups and latte cups were stamped using Newton's Nook "Newton Loves Coffee" stamp set. (My all time favorite stamp set!!)

This project is number 322.
