Tea Box


Hi there! I have a little tea box here for you today. These little boxes are perfect to hold one or two tea bags. I made a little template for it and you can find that here on an older post. I made my box out of Kraft cardstock. I cut it out and scored it but did not put it together. First I determined where the front of the box would be and stamped the large circle from Borders and Corners Circles (PTI). Then I masked the circle and went to town with Polka Dot basics. Next I die cut and stamped a tea pot on cream. I added a cream sentiment, a snip of chiffon ribbon, a button and a twine bow. A little satin ribbon makes the top pretty. I put the box together with scortape. All supplies PTI except the ink which is colorbox lime pastel.

So sweet! I love how you masked the circle and polka dotted around it, and then set the tea pot in the middle!
