Hey girls!!
Time for theMFT Blog Hop!
If you *just* got here check in with KIM first-
If you are hopping along, next you will want to head on over to Michele
I got some stamp time in AND got some videos done 😀 I am trying to get ahead, so if you see me in the SAME outfit just know that YES, I do own other clothes! LOL! I just filmed a few on the same day.
This time was definitely EASIER! So YEAH!! I’m getting the hang of this now. Now don’t go getting HIGH standards 😀 I just feel I improve each time. I’d LOVE to offer MORE videos each week, so someday it MAY be possible.
I was so inspired by the newest release from MFT called Tea for Two that it inspired my project for today! I hope you like it.
Time for Tea
Today’s video I have to share with you will show you how to take the My Timeless Template-For Keep{sake} and turn it into a PRETTY tea holder, that can be proudly displayed anywhere!
If you want a chance to WIN -just leave me a comment 😀 and if you want to, tell us What drink or item/activity comforts you when you are upset, or sick, had a bad day…….
I LOVE my coffee ♥
OK more photos……..
Top view of the tea in the For Keep{sake} (turned tea) holder.
Here is a close up detail of the ADORABLE little bunnies in the tea cup!
The cup is colored and cut out.
I made the bunnies in the cup 3D as well. The tail is on an additional layer, and had fun flock on it.
Now here is a close up view of the slot that I teach you to easily make, and convert your For Keep{Sake} template into the Tea Box!
Now also note, that you can die cut a scallop square from the large set of square nestablities to give you a nice decorative bottom to your holder 😀
The paper is an OLD SU! pattern. The cardstock I believe is Cranberry Crisp-with the matching ribbon (also SU! but retired).
I just loved how quick and simple this project is 😀 It would be a great treat for someone!
OK now onto the release stuff.

Great keepsake. When I get really stressed or have a hard time sleeping I sit in the rocker with a hot cup of organic Camomile Tea. It makes everything better.
I love love love the tea box!!! So cute! You just keep getting better and better at this video thing!
When I am having a bad day or feeling sick, my favorite thing to do is read blogs and drink a coke. I love coke 🙂 Oh, and the Target brand gummy worms make everything better.
Love your idea with this box for tea!!! Lauren, you are so creative!!! And the new stamp is absolutely adorable!!! Thank you for sharing your ideas!!! Love your video!!!
Great project. The bunnies are too cute. When I’m having a good day or a bad day or something goes wrong or right, I like to have a Toffee Nut Latte from Starbucks. Hot or cold depending on the weather. I usually NEED it more when it’s a bad day or something goes wrong. : )
So creative, Lauren! Still don’t know how you find the time. I also *love* coffee, but drinking soothing cup of tea is a special treat for me. I’m usually drinking coffee in a rush, out of necessity, but sipping tea is a special luxury. :o) Enjoy your day.
Oh my gosh, I must make that box! Everyone I know seems to be a tea drinker so this would be perfect! I myself am a coffee drinker. Too bad I can’t fold up little bags of coffee!
Wonderful box, I need to make one of them. They would make great gifts. The bunnies are too cute!! For me I love iced tea, unless I am sick then I want Dole’s orange banana pineapple juice.
so cute lauren
Love this box for tea…great idea, thanks for sharing! Sipping a cup of tea is always a relaxing moment in my daily life
Great tea box here, and appreciating the video too. What picks me up when I’m feeling down? Well, it’s a toss up: If it’s a little down, I go for the chamomile tea; if it’s a catastrophic event, I head for the espresso shot.
Love love love this idea!! I love chamomile tea when I am sick, but hot chocolate when I am well. Got a cool new hot chocolate machine for Christmas and it is so yummy! I make one every day!
I love this!! And I have to say that my fav. all time drink … Dr. Pepper. AHHH.. I know it’s packed with calories and is only good for a quick caffeine buzz, but there is something about it! Yum-ee
Shelley Smith
A coke and a high quality chocolate makes me happy.
An ice cold Diet Coke does it for me! Love your tea box!
Amazing box!! I have to have my coffee too always!!
Love this Lauren!! Pepsi or Dr.Pepper works for me!! I love tea though too..and coffee..pretty easy to please I guess!!
This is adorable!! What a great gift idea. I will be using this for sure! I love peppermint tea with honey when I don’t feel well… it makes me feel good just thinking about it now! 🙂
What an adorable little box. For me it is definitely coffee the one that picks me up, but not when I’m feeling poorly. Bitter tonic is the best choice then.
Lauren,
This is just TOO cute – like many others have already mentioned my friends and I are BIG fans of tea! In fact, we are celebrating a friend’s birthday this weekend by taking her to an official tea party! I can’t wait! This would be the most perfect gift, no?
When I’m stressed I find (and I know this is sad) a McDonald’s cheeseburger and a Coke make everything alright (somehow McDonald’s always “mixes” their Coke perfectly!)
Thanks for sharing!
Christine aka Stampin’ Ninja
I’m all about the Sugar Plum Spice tea. It is by Celestial Seasonings and is only out for the holidays. I tend to stock up and ration it through out the year.
Love the video Lauren! I wish I drank tea! But maybe I can use it for something else! Thank you for so much inspiration!
Perfect for this tea drinker!! Lauren, what an awesome idea!! I have got to print off that template tommorrow after work and make one asap.
Love this tea holder of yours Lauren! It’s so all about the presentation with things like this. Hmmmm – comfort drink – I’m an all purpose person myself – sometimes coffee, sometimes tea, sometimes those great instant hot cider packs, but for pure comfort on these cold winter nights – authentic homemade hot cocoa. Mmmmmm – topped with real whipped cream. Nothing beats it. Thanks for the chance to win this great project and thanks for the how-to tutorial.
I love love love this tea box. So adorable!!
Tea is my drink of choice with a bit of chocolate or a cookie while reading blogs. Scrapping blogs of course. . Thanks for posting your great work. I enjoy the video’s and look forward to more. I plan on getting this template soon.
that is simply spectaular..tfs :0)
What a clever idea turning this into a tea bag holder. I love a good hot cup of plain Lipton or Earl Gray tea with a spoonful of sugar when I don’t feel good. It always helps:)
cute cute cute idea! What I love to drink is hot cocoa with peppermint sticks….mmmmmmmmm, good like on snowy days like today!
great hop! fantastic new releases! as always!
Another great idea. The tea box would make an inexspensive thoughtful gift for someone who really enjoys tea. What a treat to have it presented in such a cute package. Will have to give this one a try in the morning. Great video you can tell you are getting more relaxed great job. TFS Ann Lind
This is such a great idea – cute & practical. I like a cup of green tea (with jasmine) when I need some comfort.
Another simply amazing project! And you said it was quick?…for me it would take all day. I love Diet Pepsi but the tea is sounding good to me right now.
Lauren, You did an amazing job on this project. It is fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration…I’m going to give it a whirl. Go get some rest and get ready for the new baby in the family! Blessings!
Gorgeous Lauren!!! Love how you used this box and turned it into a tea holder…love it!!!
Nice!I like it! I drink juice! I know funny right but when I have finnished crying I am always really thirsty. funny huh? So I drink juice; you get the hydration and the sugar hit and so you can keep going with your day! I wish that you will never have the need for this comment. I wish you good health always! love and best wishes Alyssa
So cute. Thanks for the chance to win.

This is adorable, and has me wishing I actually liked tea. When I’m sick, I just like to cuddle up and read a book. If I’m upset or have am having a bad day, as sappy as it sounds, a hug from one of my kids really does make me feel better.
give me a piping hot cup of English Breakfast or Orange Pekoe any day…I love my coffee but tea is definitely my comfort drink. just as well it’s healthy!! I love your tea holder and will have to try this for a special gift for a tea addict friend.
Awesome idea! I don’t drink tea myself, but have several friends who do, and this will make a GREAT GIFT!!!
This is too cute. Since new year ive been off caffine altogether so only drink herbal and camomile teas so this would be perfect for all those little sachets!
Hugs
Debbie

You are one smart-cookie Lauren 🙂 I haven’t viewed your video yet, as I “save” them when I KNow I will not be interrupted and can take time to watch and comprehend what you are doing 🙂 I’m looking forward to this upcoming one.
When I’m upset or just having one of those days, I tend to lean towards warm drinks, like Chai Tea Lattes (yum!), or my FAVORItE Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte with one extra pump of sugar-free vanilla flavour. This is beyond a dream in a cup 🙂
So cute! Love the cup & the bunnies! If I feel uncomfortable for no obvious reason, I like to make myself some tea as well, and getting cozy with lit candles and music. @ Robb_eeie: I love Chai Latte!!
Oh how sweet. I am a tea drinker and I love chai tea for any excuse – and it must be a sit-down-til-finished cup to work its magic.
Great project, one that I will have to do! If stressed its usually coffee for me, unless its the middle of the night, then its a cup of hot cocoa, made with milk of course!
I love it and I cant wait to try it, there are a couple of Tea Lovers in my circle. For Keepsake is my favourite template right now……keep up the great work, I cant wait to see what is next.
Tanya
WOW! This is just adorable and so creative. Great video and just love your creative style.
Oh I LOVE this project!
My comfort drink is definately flavored COFFEE!
It runs thru my veins LOL!
I love my coffee too but nothing warms and soothes me to my toes like some sweet creamy spiced up chai tea. Love it!
Lauren – what a wonderful idea! You are just so talented and brimming with ideas. Thanks so much for sharing it. As for me, when I’m down in the dumps – I reach for my hot cocoa (has to be Goodnight Hugs from Hershey).
Thanks for the chance to enter!
I love that box!! It is so sweet. I am a tea lover. However, I drink only tea that I make (no one does it quite like I do!!). I only drink Lipton, and it always makes me feel better!
I LOVE it! actually tried this tea the other day, it was yummy. I love my Chai tea with milk & sugar.
Always love your projects. My drink of choice is cappiccino (even if I can’t spell it).
I am a tea person all the way! This project is just awesome! I love it!!!
Great project Lauren! Always love your projects! Coffee is my favorite hot drink!
LOVE it Lauren!! Awesome project!
My favorite drink is Diet Caffine Free Coke. Also lipton tea.
Your so creative I would have not think of to do that with a box.
That is Too cute! I need to make something like that for my mom!
When I’m sick (like now, UGH) I like someone else to make me (because it always tastes better that way…) Sleepytime Tea with some honey in it. It may not make me actually feel better…but it comforts me because my mom would give that to me when I was younger. And I guess in the end, comforting DOES make me feel a bit better.
Adorable… simply adorable!
I have many drinks/activities for my different kind of ‘bad days’ depending on what they are. If I’m sick, there’s nothing better than Vernors and a nice warm blanket and vegging on the couch! I won’t *even* tell you how I handle just a bad day. LOL!
Have a great day!
Hugs!
Definitly a tea girl.. green preferably..
Michelle
I love this! Thanks for sharing. Chai tea is my addiction–it’s a great comfort on those freezing cold days we’ve been having. Keeps me warm!
This is so cute!
When I need a pick me up it would be coffee – love sitting on the back porch and watching the sun go down with a cup of coffee. It is so relaxing. It melts all the cares (okay, stress) of the day away.
soooo sweet! love the idea. your projects are always inspiring! tfs, Lauren.
Great project, Lauren! Loved your video- I cannot believe you just started making them! My fav soothing drink is hot tea-caffeine free in the evening, but with Fr.vanilla creamer! It’s so good ! Thank you for the chance, and I LOVE this project, made with my FAVORITE TEMPLATE!
What a great idea! I love Stash tea, its perfect!!! Thanks for even MORE inspiration!!!
Oh this is so awesome I really loved it! 🙂 For me my fearless friend through stress.. Chocolate.. I know not the best choice but I love it.. and it makes me feel like w/a piece of Chocolate I can take over the world! LOL (Reese Piecess Buttercup… YUUUMMMMMMOOO lol)
((HUGS))) 2 you darling
So cool! Those bunnies are so stinkin cute. -Molly B
Lauren, this is just so cute! I love the little bunny’s bottom sticking out of the tea cup. My fave drink when it’s cold outside is hot chocolate!
Coffee for sure! Thanks for sharing. Great job and so very cute!
Awesome project for all us tea lovers.! 😀
But no matter how I love tea nothing beats a nice cup of hot chocolate when I’m feeling blue or upset. (If possible it’s even better with a hint of mint liqueur…)
My therapy: Double Chocolate Milano Cookies from Pepperidge Farms. I think it’s genetic because it’s go-to food for my Mom and my sister too!
How awesome is this?!? What a fabulous box, Lauren!
I love stash lemon ginger tea With lots of honey!). It makes me feel so much better if I have a sore throat, or sinus cold. And when I am well, I just enjoy the slightly spicy taste!
That is so cute! I can’t believe the ideas that you come up wtih. I am a tea drinker and would love a cute way like that to package it.
Your tea holder is great! The bunny is so adorable!
I am not a coffee or tea drinker at all. I would drink cocoa once in awhile but since we have had such a cold winter, I have been drinking it more and more. I always double the amount of cocoa powder that is called for and then heap it with lots of mini marshmallows.
Dr. Pepper is definitely my drink of choice. It can calm me down with the first sip!
Love your site. Thanks for the chance to win!
This is a fab idea for the template!!! I love my Keurig & my K Cups they are the best, it even makes tea!!!!!!!!!!! It’s fast to brew up something soothing.
Donna :]
I love that altered tea bag holder. What a great idea to dress it up for a present. I love chai tea when I am cold or tired. Just the smell of it makes me feel good .
Loving your projects!! This altered tea bag holder is adorable. When I want a break, had a hard day or whatever, I grab a nice cup of coffee..that is my relief from stress or the magic pill to de~stress :o)
Very cute box with tea! As tea is my drink of choice when I need a pick me up or when I want something nice and warm. White tea is a real nice choice.
OMG, this is way too cute!! love it!
What a perfect gift for a tea drinker! I do drink tea and when I am stressed I prefer either Bigelow’s Plantation Mint or Celestial Seasoning’s Candy Cane Lane, which is only available at Christmas time. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas and for making it so easy with your tutorials.
EDITED: to add my drink/item
my drink/item would be anything with chocolate in it!!!!!!!
Lauren – you are certainly a CREATIVE ROCK STAR! You amaze me with every project – thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
My comfort beverage is a warm mug of chocolate Ovaltine. I just love that stuff. It reminds me of my childhood when we’d come in from playing in the snow on my grandparents farm. My Grandma would put our frozen mittens in the dryer while we enjoyed our hot cocoa and some toast. As soon as we were warmed up we’d head back outside for more fun in the snow!
Teresa
Stunning Lauren! I love how you use whatever paper works! Doesn’t have to be the latest and greatest! Cause your projects are great no matter what! For comfort in winter I will have a mug of hot cocoa and a piece of Dove Chocolate preferably with carmel!
Love the tea box !! Tea does it for me every time!!
Your project is SO clever!!! Love the box. I’m with you…coffee is my thing…Latte’s in the afternoon. 🙂
I am a hot cocoa kind of girl! 🙂 No coffee or tea for me. I absolutely love the little box! 🙂 You rock as always Lauren, thanks for a chance to win hun.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having this on you-tube! Now I can see the videos – dancing here! This is a fantastic project!! I cant wait to try this!
coffee for me and lots of it!!!! Awesome project
What a super tea holder-I have that My timeless template too…as Phineas would say, “i know what we are going to do today…”
My favorite drink when having “one of those days” is any drink that I having while a good friend is listening to me whine! 🙂
Hope
What a cool tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing. It looks simple enough… but some of us are slightly less coordinated! I love hot chocolate when I’m stressed. I may drink a cuppa coffee in the morning (ugh), but don’t really enjoy it. Sometimes have a cuppa tea, when I’m not feeling well, but the comfort drink is definitely hot chocolate!
My favorite comfort drink is a latte. I love your project. Just today I bought a box of Tazo tea bags for the first time. Now I’m going to have to make a box to store them in.
I love this!! why dont I ever thing of these things???
Wow, that looks fabulous! What a fun box to grab a tea bag from!! Love it!
I love a good cup of coffee, but when I really need to relax I make a nice hot cup of chamomile tea. Perfect!
Kelly W.
Great tea box. I love the adorable bunnies, they are so cute! I love a good cup of coffee, but when I need to relax or am not feeling good I love to sit and have a cappincino or a cup of hot chocolate.
wonderful idea – I love hot tea – just curl up on the couch – fire in the fireplace and a good book – and my cuppa tea.
My favorite comfort drink is Chinese OOlong Tea with lots of sweetener. It brings me back to my college days, hanging with a wonderful group of hick friends. Going to the local Chinese restaurant was our big night out 🙂
Love the tea box! My favorite drink of comfort is probably a chocolate milkshake! My grandfather used to be in charge of picking me up from school if I was sent home sick and he would always tell me a milkshake might make me feel better. I guess it stuck!
This is awesome, Lauren!
love your templates! my favorite comfort drink is a white chocolate mocha, mmmm. makes me want one just thinking about it.
Very cute Lauren! I love it! What an awesome gift this would be!
My favorite drink is Diet Rootbeer. Love it! It makes life so much sweeter! =)
This is a cute idea on how to use this box!! I love a good hot cup of tea when I am sick or upset. The warmth just helps sooth and calm. Love all your ideas and looking forward to what is next!!
CUTE!!! What a fun project! I have to try that! When I have a bad day, exercise is my medicine. I run everyday so when a bad day happens I run harder and longer, when I get back I drink water, shower and have a glass of red wine, FIXED! Thank you for the videos they are AWESOME! Now I really like to move closer so I can stamo with ya 😉
Well after watching your wonderful video I just had to hop on into the kitchen for a cup of tetley tea oh yummy. Keep up the good work your doing just fine.
be blessed
Lynn
I have a feeling that my drink of choice is not going to surprise anyone. VINO!!! (Wine ) and woo hoo it is almost that time already. Since I had a small part in this new stamp set (Digital Girl), I may actually have to get up in the middle of the night to come to the party.
What a fabulous gift! My hot drink of choice is Lady Grey. But Twinnings makes a great sampler box that would be fantastic for a gift.
I love your tea holder! Your ideas are always so cute/pretty/nice. You have a real talent for designing and finishing a project. When I have a bad day I like to read… preferably historical fiction. It takes me totally away from my own life and I have the story to think about when I put the book down.
Swedie
Hot chocolate and listening to music help pick me up. 🙂 I love your tea bag dispenser. So cute!
What a cute idea…I love drinking tea…so this is a great idea for making the boxes pretty 🙂 To help relax me I’ll drink a cup of Stash Peppermint tea…it’s so yummy!
Charmaine
I love coffee but if i’m feeling down theres nothing like a spicy cup of chai tea!
Once again you’ve out-done yourself. This is an awesome gift for anyone (including myself LOL!)! And I must say, the new SU DSP that is heavier is ideal for this project. Can’t wait to give it a go.
Love the project – the stamp set is so cute! My favorite comforting drink is hot tea!
I love hot tea as a comfort drink. Hot chocolate works too, sometimes, but green tea especially is comforting. Keep these videos and templates coming please. I so look forward to my emails and checking the blog.
Oh, Lauren, this is just sweet! I love it! I need to make one of these for my Mum, she’s a big tea drinker. My comforting drink is coffee. Carmelo by The Second Cup is soooo yummy! That’s what I’m drinking right now! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your project with us today and for the chance to play along in the fun!
Julie
What a fantastic little box!!! And I love how you color coordinated the tea packets with the box. Very nice! Strangely enough, a homemade cup or bowl of soup is what usually calms me down. I think it’s the whole process of making the soup and then being able to sit down and savor it.
My go-to comfort drink when I’m sick is warm Black Cherry Jell-O. Weird but true. If I’m not sick then it’s plain iced tea or diet coke with a wedge of lime, depending on where I am.
Tea for me, Lauren…make my Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple…just the scent can calm any nerve endings that are jumpin’.
How COOL! My 3 year old even loved watching the video. Brilliant idea!!!
The tea box is too cute…and I love tea. I have discovered Chai tea, it’s so good. Thank you for your talent and sharing it with all of us.
Sharon King
gorgeous cards darling! I LOVE MFT!!!!! I can’t view the video tho – all that stuff is blocked on the Army network. (I’m lucky to be here as it is!)
have a great day!
I don’t know how you do it, but you just get better and better! Love the videos too! grea job!
I have a whole cupboard full of herbal teas! that’s where I go when I don’t feel good, want to relax or just because! LOL!
thanks for the chance to win!
Lorene
super adorable Lauren. I’m also a coffee drinker, but I love to flavor it with one of the wonderful flavored creamers from International Delight! Yum!
Love the tea holder, and the sweet bunnies. My favorite drink in the winter is GF International Vanilla Latte, warm and yummy.
Thanks for a chance to win…
Lauren, this project is so adorable! You constantly amaze me with your ideas!
Wow! Enjoying your videos!
Great Job! You Rock, Girl! Perfect for this time of the year when everyone is getting a cold. Hot Cider is my favorite drink when I am sick. Thanks for a chance to win.
Another awesome project!
Beautiful tea holder.
I love the bunnies.
I am a tea drinker and I love a cup of tea to relax.
Would love to win this.
Thanks for a chance to win.
What a great tea box and tutorial!
Cocoa! I am sure a hot chocolate drinker, especially if it is white hot chocolate!!!
My favourite drink is a cuppa tea. I love Tetleys.
Thanks for the opportunity to win. This is another wonderful idea
Eileen
OMG! This is way cute!!!! You Rock!!! Ummmm… I like hot tea!!! I for the life of me can not think of the brand of tea bags but I can only get them at this English store we have here at Tudor Rose!!!! TFS! ~Heidi
Great project, Lauren! I have three favorite drinks …. (1) Coffee with French Vanilla Creamer, (2) Diet Pepsi Vanilla, (3) Irish Cream with milk. Not in that particular order, however! LOL
That tea holder makes drinking tea even yummier!
As much as I like tea (decaf, svp), for a stressed out day I do like a moccaccino (sp?- it looks funny). However, if it’s evening I’ll do better with a martini 🙂
Weeee!
I LOVE the tea box – your projects are always so awesome
and so unique!! I love my coffee w/French vanilla creamer
and sugar!! It’s my comfort drink & “dessert” drink!
Love the tea box. I like tea when I am down.
Growing up, we drank coffee from morning until the evening meal. We always had tea for our evening meal and afterwards. I’ve always done the same since leaving home. Now that both my parents are gone, my last cup of tea before bed is always a reflection time when I think of them and rejoice that God gave me to them! This tea container would be perfect next to my tea pot in its cozy! Love your packaging ideas.
Gail S.
When I’m sick or have a sore throat, I have some wonderful tea that really helps!! Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals. When I am able to have a slow, lazy, inside morning, I like to sit & watch birds with a tea. I’ve also discovered Chai Latte’s!!!! Those are great on happy days!! But I have to be in town, and earlier in the day or the caffeine will keep me up! Love the way coffee smells, but have not found one I like the taste of…
When I’m sick I drink hot teas and soup. Sometimes OJ. What’s funny about that is it’s the only time I can drink OJ, every other time it tears up my stomach
I love it! I am tea drinker, so this is great inspiration!
Your creativity always is a WOW!
This is SO cute! I love both coffee and tea and usually have a cup of each every day. But, if I’m really needing a pick-me-up, or just a little warm comfort in a cup, I go for a nice cup of tea.
What I like to drink depends on the ailment. For a headcold, a nice steaming cup of mint tea does the trick. For upset stomach, a soda always seems to help the most. For just a cold day/night, a nice spiced apple cider/tea is yummy (with the mint tea a close second). Love the tea holder using the Keepsake template.
You are so clever. I love how you always have eyes open for different uses for every day things. The tea box is perfect! I have a simple question…Is it possible to change the color of the lines on the Timeless Templates so that they are not so visible when an item is open? I am asking regarding the purse that I made. If not, I have used the template as a pattern. But I love that we can print the template and then go to work.
Love this! I am from a family of tea drinkers. We love our cuppas … I use tea leaves and mix to suit whatever mood I am in. I would say my all time favorite is a British Blend mixed with a dab of orange juice.
which tea i like to drink depend on how i am feeling . . . chai tea is an anytime drink for me . . . I LOVE IT!!! but when i have a tummy ache . . . it’s peppermint tea for me!
So super cute!! Usually coffee, but if I need decaf then it’s definitely mint tea!
What a cute tea holder!!
My favorite comfort drink is Chai Tea.
I love the tea box and can think of several people who would love it. I think it would make a great teachers gift as a thank you for all you do.
I would put tea or would the chocolate fit in the box? What about a homemade thin and small cookie?
I would love to be the one to win this box.Thanks again for all the cool ideals. I love your site.
Another terrific project! Tea is my drink of choice when I need a pick me up. My DIL laughs at me when she sees my tea collection–let’s don’t even mention how many different flavors I have!
CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE
Wow.. I love the tea box – AWESOME!
When I’m upset I just curl up in my husband’s arms for a big bear hug and take a deep breath… He always makes me smile.
IfatArt
Great idea! That would be a nice way to share a few of my favorites with family and friends.
And, I for one have always enjoyed tea, hot or cold. My cozy comfort drink would be caffeine-free teas: CONSTANT COMMENT or COZY CHAMOMILE with just a drop of agave nectar. And, if I need a pick me up kind, CHAI or OOLONG.
What a creative way to use your templates! For me, hot chocolate or spiced hot apple cider comfort me in times of stress.
Of course I want to win!!! I turn to my craft room when I’m stressed; I can get so involved in my projects that I forget time!
Your templates are just SOO versatile! My favorite beverage of choice is Earl Gray Tea…always makes things right!
OMG Lauren, you truly are AMAZING with your creativity! When I’m having a rough day, it’s Diet Coke and Chocolate! Always makes me feel better! Thanks for another great idea!
SO adorable….what a great idea. Your projects are always so creative & awesome.
Love it!!!!
Great Job!!! I have a few items that I have been wanting to make from things around the house and just haven’t done it yet. Thanks for all your inspiration for me.
I used to drink tea but can’t see myself doing that again. I always have to have my hot cocoa or I get upset. TFS!!!
Nice tea holder! When I’m upset I don’t drink a special drink, but I just eat everything I can find in the house: chips, chocolate, cheese, etc. Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Lauren, I just love this. I am a tea drinker myself. I enjoy a cup in the morning or whenever I feel down or need a little warming. I drink Salada Green Tea.
Wow! This is way cute! I always rely on Mt. Dew when I’m upset. I’m a Mt. Dew aholic anyways, but if I’m having a rough day, I’ll usually double my Mt. Dew intake…lol I was once 43 days sober of Mt. Dew, but I just couldn’t keep it up…lol
Lauren this is adorable! If I’m having a bad day, I cuddle my 18 month old son, or get lost in my craft room, or blog surf with soda, usually Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper. It’s my weakness lol
Love your videos btw! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into them! I am trying to convince my husband that I CAN attend the Stamp NE ’09 because I would love to meet you!
I wish you could have seen my mouth drop open when I saw the photo of the tea box. I JUST LOVE IT!!! This one is a must. I can use this so many times for gifts. My first drink of choice is coffee but limited to 2 cups per day. Then I love tea – some black teas and some green teas and some herbals. I’m still wowing over here. To win this would be an extra bonus. Have a great day
Hello Lauren
What a clever idea. It is just beautiful… all your work is beautiful and very inspiring. What I do to relax myself is to look for a quiet place in the house, read a book, and drink a cup of green tea or even better a cup of jasmine tea. I also listen to classical music..
Ciao.
Lauren, this tea box is so adorable–and I love the bunnies! I love coffee too–and probably drink too much–but tea is so soothing. I often have tea in the evening, especially in the winter. And I have a friend who always drinks tea–I keep looking for the perfect stamp set for make something for her. This box would be perfect!
I love a cafe mocha when I am stressed…with whip cream of course…LOL
How cute is that? I love it. My favorite drink anytime at all is Pepsi. Yum…..
This is so much cuter that the box the tea came in!! Thanks for sharing! When I am stressed out, the only way I can get rid of it is to go for a brisk walk or run! Then I like to come home and have a cup of herbal tea.
CUTE!
Ooo..I LOVE to have a decaf soy iced vanilla latte!
This is way to cute. my drink of choice is coffee, also love a mocha latte from any coffee shop. thanks for a chance to win.
I love my coffee too! When I’m stressed out I zone out in front of the tv for a while with my cup of vanilla flavored creamer and coffee. Just turning off my brain for a little while seems to help.
Oh, my, love love your tea keepsake box. I’m like you. I need coffee to lift me up. The bunny is so cute. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
I love the way you decorated the tea box. What a nice gift idea.
I drink warm rose water tea when I’m upset, angry, or in a bad mood. It calms my spirit.
When I’m sick (sore throat, etc.) I drink lemongrass tea, because it soothes my throat.
When my stomach is upset, I drink Chamomile.
Now, keep in mind, that these are remedies that I use, but thankfully I don’t have to use them AS REMEDIES very often.
So, sometimes I just drink them because they are there and taste good!
Any kind of tea at any time of day always cheers me up. I can’t wait to make this tea box!! Super idea!
definately coffee! coffee. coffee. coffee. 🙂 very sweet tea holder!
Hot tea at night made by my DH. Love the tea box.
Love this tea box! Thanks for sharing w/the great video, too! What a great little gift for tea-lover friends. There’s something special about a good cup of tea, though I’m still partial to my home-made lattes.
Beautiful holder! I love tea, but tea doesn’t like me! It makes the acid reflux go crazy (and this is the caffeine free tea), but I still have it every once in a while and then suffer.
My favorite comfort drink is my homemade Chai mix. If I happen to be out of that (because my husband drank it all), then one of any number of Stash teas is just the ticket. My current favorite Stash tea is Wild Black Currant.
Lauren has to be today’s theme – Tea, tea and more tea! We both love cups of tea (big cups or buckets as we call them) after a stressful day. Assam is my favourite.
Love the tea box. When upset I love to cuddle infront of a fire with a cup of cocoa.
Hugs
Heather
Very cute tea box. I am a tea drinker, but when I feel the need to relax, I love hot cocoa.
When I’m upset I go for spiked lemonade in summer and Irish cream hot choclate in winter. When I’m sick I go for hot lemon. Basically hot water, lemon and sugar. No booze!!
It is absolutely adorable! I will drink tea usually when I am not feeling well. My fav is coffee!!! Usually chocolate/cinnamon or a carmel latte…I cannot live with out my coffee!!!
If I’m feeling blue, I’ll watch a movie to get my mind on to something new. I do enjoy a cup of tea — It makes me more relaxed.
Love your videos. Such a cute gift idea! When I am upset tea and a good book works for me.
That tea box is awesome! How creative! I’m a huge Starbucks girl… right now I’m on a Venti Soy Chai Latte Dry and with no foam. ^_^
A mocha latte from Starbucks if I’ve had a bad day and feel I *deserve* a treat! Love the the tea box, the bunnies are just soooo cute!!!
OMG – this is just TOO fabulous, Lauren!!
Cute project and ADORABLE bunnies! Love them! I love Diet Coke (or Pepsi) with lemon, but it’s gotta be from the fountain!
What a great project. Thanks for showing us great new ways to use the templates that you design. I love chai tea made with sweetened condensed milk – just yummy!
So cute and so useful!
What a clever idea!
I love Bigelow Cranberry Apple Tea. Your box is too cute and the BUNNY and BUTT are absolutely the cutest! Your videos always bring a smile and some laughter. You are talented!
Very pretty little tea box! I personally am a coffee drinker: lattes, frapps, capps, macchiatos, u name it…as long as theres a shot of espresso in there somewhere, I’m happy! I am waiting for the Starbucks Scented Air Freshner to come out. =)
I just love blog hop’s! A fun afternoon hop thru cyber space! Thanks! C you tonite!
Great Box and tutorial! I always love my coffee for sure. But when I’m feeling ill sometimes I will opt for tea and honey.
How cute is this!!! We sponsor teachers at my daughter’s High School and I have been trying to come up with something clever and you have certainly helped me out! 🙂 Best wishes on the arrival of the new baby!
I love my Diet Coke or Passion Lemonade Iced Tea from Starbucks…they put me in my happy place but if I am cold a hot cup of flavored tea is the ticket.
I hope you and the kiddos are feeling much better too! 🙂
I love coffee but if I’m not feeling well, a cup of tea with honey is what I’ll reach for. Right now, peppermint tea is at the top of my list but I also love Tazo Chai. Love your card and that cute little bunny tush.
Cute bunnies and very clever box. I like tea when I am sick but just to warm up I like Hot Chocolate or chai tea.
What a great project and gift idea. I can tell that you are getting more comfortable with your videos. I love watching you in action.
Lauren you never cease to amaze me! When I am having a bad day, I like to curl up on the couch with my cocoa/soup and watch old movies or reruns of the original CSI!! LOL!
Here’s to winning and playing with MFT stamps!! And lots and lots of paper piecing!
Kim Marie
Very cute project. I am a coffee fan, have been drinking 4-5 cups a day since I got my keurig! I am loving the golden french toast flavor and the mudslide. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am honestly not a fan of hot drinks, but I work at a Bistro on Saturdays and spend most of the time making all the fancy hot drinks. The other day I tried my first steamer with chocolate fudge flavour…..was pretty good. I might just have to try a latte next time!!!
What a great idea. My drink when I’m in need is a frappucino, usually Starbucks. It calms me instantly and I’m not usally a coffee drinker!
Love your project as usual! Chocolate probably is right up there for comfort and enjoyment. But, if I want a special cup of tea – English Breakfast Tea is a favorite and I also love some Republic teas and of course the name of my favorite just went blank! No big deal. Maybe I need to go make a cup and the name will come to me! Thanks for sharing – the little bunny tail is so cute too.
Very Cute Idea!! That box rocks. I am a hard core Diet Pepsi Fan. I do drink coffee, but when things get rough I need my DP.
Cute idea Lauren! My “soothing” drink is chai black tea from Stash Teas.
Love the box. I drink Dr. Pepper since I am a Texas girl.
“Tea-rific” project. Love this new Tea for Two set. Although I am a Coffee addict, most of my friends are tea drinkers & would make a perfect gift for them. It could be altered for Coffee singles as well. Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty! Great idea. I like a cold glass of KoolAid!! 🙂
what an adorable tea holder! and I love that new set!
I drink coffee everyday, but if I’m really feeling yucky, nothing refreshes me like a cup of hot herbal tea. ummmmm…… delish! 🙂
I like hot tea when I am down or had a hard day. But when I am having a good day, I like Crystal Light. Never had a flavor I didn’t like
Sheri
I love tea and coffee but a nice glass of wine after a hard day is relaxing.
I LOVE tea and this box. For my favorite comfort drink I was on impulse going to say Peppermint tea. But then I really started to think about it. It has to be what I lovingly call “momma’s milk” not to be confused with ACTUAL mother’s milk. It is my version of Kahlua and cream. I just add Kahlua to my milk. It’s guaranteed to make me feel better *wink*
Love this tea box – will definitely making a few for little gifts for my tea loving friends! I myself do love tea but nothing beats Vanilla Chai!!
What an awesome idea! It’s so cute. I don’t know how you manage to come up with all these ideas but I love that you share then with the rest of us!
I don’t have a comfort drink. I don’t like tea or coffee(yes, I know I am weird). When I am stressed out just give me CHOCOLATE!!!! Now I do love my Diet Coke in the morning to get me going, but other than that not a big drink person. Thanks for a chance to win some blog candy. 😀
Fantastic project, Lauren!! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE THIS – gotta girlfriend who loves tea so this will be perfect little gift. And I have this template!!
My fave comfort drink is coffee all the way. Sometimes flavor coffee but just plain coffee is hmmmmmm!!
Lauren, love this idea! So many times I like to give tea as a gift, so this is a super useful idea!
Comforting? Hmmm… really tea is a real comforter for me. Also, hot cocoa.
Maybe a nice glass o’ chardonnay!! :o)
When I’m stressed, tired, bored or happy, I drink coffee. I really love my coffee. In fact, a cup of coffee is sitting beside me as I type. Even though I can’t use this box for coffee (at least I don’t think there are coffee packets), the box is a sure winner to use for a gift for a tea-totaler. Great job.
My comfort thing is chocolate. Rich, smooth, dark chocolate. Love it!
I love this… And it is not only because I am tea nut but, I too like the little bunnies….
reflections:0)
LOVE the tea template! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
I’m always happy to find my daily moment of zen with a hot cup of coffee! My day is just imcomplete without my java! I always have a cup of coffee at hand – always!
great box, when do you find time to come up with all these ideas…………great job
What would a stamper do without this great blog??? I love your project, as usual, and I’m a homemade hot chocolate girl! It comforts me.
I’m new to this blog hopping thing, but boy did I have fun!! I love your tea box. I have several friends who love tea and I have a ‘special’ tea I bring home from Hawaii (Maui Mango)… I can’t wait to make some gift boxes using these ideas!! I’m a die-hard coffee drinker, except when I don’t feel well or it’s hot.. then I turn to hot tea and iced-tea…
Thank you so much..
Glad you’re feeling better!
Wow-wee!! That is too clever Lauren 🙂 Thanks for sharing, you are so generous!! I can’t wait to make one and coral all my loose tea bags into one place. I love drinking herbal tea with honey, usually makes me feel better. Glad you’re feeling better! 🙂
Very cute box! Thanks for the video tutoral!
This is too cute. Love what you do with your templates. I don’t have this one but I guess I need it. My rest & relaxation stress-buster drink is tea. I love the herbal teas with lemon and spices. My extra treat is honey. I load it up with lots of honey and sip away.
The tea box is a stunner! And when I need comfort, I go for a strong cup of black chai with a couple tablespoons of half-and-half.
Thanks so much for showing us other ways to use your Timeless Templates. I have this one and just another great way to use it. When do you come up with all these great ideas?
I am partial to Sugar Free Chai Latte from International….just enough sweet..minus the calories.
Thanks again.
I drink 2 cups of hot Lipton tea with 2% milk every day. For splurges, I like to drink Bubble Tea and Thai Tea. Love them.
How cute are you Lauren!!! You just come up with the BESTEST ideas. I love my morning coffee and when I am feeling low or not feeling well I turn to Yogi Tea.
What a great gift. When I’m absolutely EXHAUSTED, I love a nice cup of very HOT chocolate with lots of real whipped cream or even marshamallow creme. It’s so soothing, and I always feel better. A dash of cinnamon or red pepper makes it yummy too!
Beautiful project! I like a cup of hot tea at the end of a long day.Thanks for a chance to win!

Soooo cute, like always your talent is amazing.Me myself am a coffee drinker.
That is such a cute idea! I’m going to have to make one for my mom-she loves tea. Me- I love a large cup of mango peach orange juice and immerse myself in a good book to forget what is upsetting me.
Keep up the awesomely cute projects!
Great blog hop! I’m always comforted by hot cocoa or chicken & dumplings.
Lauren you are just soooooo talented. I just love how you come up with such cute things!
Your videos are improving everytime (not that there was anything wrong with you first) but you seem to be nailing this new area on your blog as well….. good work.
Must say I’m getting addicted to checking my emails just for your latest updates!
Hugs from Australia
SUPER cute Lauren!!! I love the video too – great job!
funny you should be talking about what drink we have when we’re having a bad day…because I had a doozy at work and am sitting down with a non fat latte right as I type!! We got a Starbucks Barista machine for a wedding gift 2 years ago and I put it to great use!! Thanks for the chance to win. I love your videos!!
A non fat latte can chase away the blues everytime. Thanks for the great ideas.
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you.
When I need to de-stress, my favorite beverage is a hot cup of Suisse Mocha.
Maria
I have to say that Drinking Tazo Refresh Tea does the job!! Nothing makes you feel better then pampering yourself a little when you are down.
I guess a soft drink is my favorite. probably not good for you but what I reach for when I need something. caffeine I guess. Linda gerig
I love to drink hot sweet black tea. Tazo Awake is my tea of choice. My son decorated a mug for me for Christmas and just seeing it and drinking my hot tea makes me smile and feel as though I just got a big hug! 😀
Lauren You are soooo Awesome!! The cutest little bunnie! Thanks for the chance to win him….You are just the BEST!!!!
Awesome tutorial, you make it look so easy ;o). I think this tea box would be perfect for CHOCOLATE!! My fave when I’m down and out. Wouldn’t After Eight mints fit in great, they seem to be about the same size as the tea. I’ll be doing this project. TFS!
I love tea, and drink quite a bit in a day, what a fantastic tea box!
I had a go at your wonderful saturday sketch You can find my card
here Thank you for challenging HuGs Kim 😀
When I am feeling blue or sick I make myself a nice hot chocolate with frothed milk and cinnamon. It usually calms me down and helps me sleep. The ultimate blues treat is a hot bowl of homemade chicken rice soup with lemon.
Thank you for the wonderful challenges … you rock!
oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!! I love this!! I am sooo making one of these. I love the image too and I just HAVE to get this teapot bunny!
I drink tea to relax. My favorite right now is Celestial Seasonings Canadian Vanilla Maple

I look at your blog daily for new ideas and inspiration. You are truely gifted. I love the your Tea Box! I hope I am priveledged to be chosen! Thanks for all you do!
Love your project, the bunnies are adorable!!
I like to drink homemade cocoa. It is smooth and rich and feels good going down.
Thanks for sharing this awesome idea for this template!! Such a great idea, I can’t wait to try it! 🙂
This tea holder is just gorgeous and I’m going to have to try it! My favorite thing is to sit in my comfy chair in my living room and drink a Pepsi … my favorite drink … or chocolate!
I like the idea about using the holder for after 8 mints.
Love your tea box! Any coffee and tea company would be proud to use this on their counter. GReat share!
I love my coffee, but when I’m down or sick or whatever I love drinking tea.
Especially some kind of mint-tea. It always makes me feel better.
Love, Love the box, it is absolutely adorable. I am not a tea drinker – but after seeing this I want to start. Give me coffee any day:)
soooo cute! when feeling down, shopping cheers me up!!! drink wise I do like tea, hot or cold. strawberry daquiries are also good!!
What a gorgeous tea caddy Lauren – thank you so much for sharing this project.
I have just given smiliar china caddys to my sister and a friend for Christmas and loved the idea of them when I saw them in the shops and now you’re sharing a cardstock version – how great is that !!
Can’t wait to try this project out – love it!
Such a sweet project! Congrats to the winner!
My “tea time” is after the kids are in bed..I have a big cup of english breakfast tea with milk….it calms me down and get me ready for bed.
This has to be one of most clever box project I’ve ever seen! You are just so brilliant! TFS!

[…] I drink Salada Green Tea. Jenn Bolin February 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pm 160. Wow! This is way cute! I always rely on Mt. Dew when I’m upset. I’m a Mt. Dew aholic anyways, but if I’m having a rough day, I’ll usually double my Mt. Dew … […]
