#3 Perfect Peek -Tea Tabbed Template & Video

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all our Military for serving our great Country.

My friend and fellow design team member Kristin is in the Air Force. I have so much respect for people and families who give so much of their life for our Country, so a big thank you to them.

I have a SIMPLE post for you today, just before our release on June 1st!

No worries I have TONS to share 😀

The WINNERS of the last 2 posts will be drawn later today. So stop back by later. There is still time to enter so don’t miss out!

NOTE: All products shared are from My Time Made Easy ™ LLC! The items you are previewing will not be available until June 1st!

After cramming so much in to the last two days I figured I’d keep it a bit lighter, if that’s OK! I’m so excited by you sharing my excitement! I have so many more wonderful things in the months to come too, it can be hard WAITING 😀

Now after yesterday’s project this *may* seem a bit inferior, but I promise you that this post is just as packed full of wonderful products for everyone! I am just so excited by all the possibilities with this release, and there is just so much more to come 😀

Today, when you are done here,  you will want to check in with:

Lesa Rapp

Tracey Cuccia

and of course Catherine Doucette have created using the newest template, previewing today: Tea Tabbed Box!

This is the Tea Tabbed Box! before…..

My box base was cut utilizing the tea cut out from Raven cardstock.

My lid was created using Meadow cardstock.

A little embellishing, and this is the after!

What a difference 😀 It doesn’t take much to turn this into a complete WOW!

Tea Tabbed Box $5

Available in PDF, SVG, WPC, DXF, GSD

Completed Project Size 

4 Inches Tall

3 1/2 Inches Wide

3 1/4 Inches Deep

This is a template you are really going to want to check out!

The name for this template came from the fact that it has the ability to sweetly store your tea bags in style, OR you have the option of using the front panel that is solid, so you can use to to hold a variety of other sweet treats! Now that is something great that will help you to make this template VERSATILE…..you can opt to use the solid front panel, which is included in the template for even MORE use. You will see details for that soon 😀

Finally a template the give and even proudly display your tea, but the choice is yours. Tea cut out, or no tea cut.

Either way the presentation will be stunning. (I will share versions of this template without the cut-out as the week progresses)

The cut out portion was designed so that tea bags fit out of the front slot, and can easily be pulled out. Just open the lid, and refill. Now your favorite tea can always be at your fingertips, and proudly displayed or gifted 😀

 Front before….

I love the tab design! There are so many possibilities for decoration.

 after…. 

This was decorated SO simply. I just layered on my Flutters and Flowers (polka dot) paper for the bottom panels. 

HANDY TIP: You get a MUCH richer BLACK patterned cardstock if you chose to print using your BLACK ink ONLY.

The scallop trim was done by using the  Pretty Pieces © Cut File- Border Builders Open Scallop. I was able to line it up to create the dual scalloped trim around my lid, which I adorned with adhesive pearls, and a crochet flower from American Crafts. The center of the crochet flower is by Prima. The leaves are from the bridal section at Michael’s.

Here is the top/side view

The A Spot of Tea © tea cup fits perfectly atop this box creation. ( A happy accident?? No :D)

I could have made a million “tea” themed cut files or templates, but decided to pick my favorites.

I can definitely see this sitting out on a counter ANYWHERE!  Pretty & functional all in one. There is a sweet decorative tabbed closure, and the dual functionality of it being a box that is as wonderful, as it is versatile, makes this a MUST have! 

You may want to check out the A Spot of Tea © Pretty Impressions stamp set that coordinates perfectly with this!

As I said in a previous post, there are MANY tea cut building options for the A Spot of Tea © set.

Here is a video sharing some with you:

There are SO many pattern options for this set! You can make so many different tea cups!

.

Here I chose to build my cup using the scallop trim, then stamping the stripped pattern. That pattern is so elegant and pretty, and is a perfect fit to my cup too.

For my bottom portion of the cup I used the swirly rose pattern, which I took the rose “buds” and colored/cut and put on dimensionals for some POP! There are some punches out in the market that fit perfect too! So no hand-cutting.

There you have it!!

The perfect Tea Tabbed Box!

Now how about a card?

I figure since I completed a video about creating your own tea patterns a card would be a nice additon

You make life sweet

You may recognize this one from the video! Simple but oh so SWEET.

I LOVE Cherries! Cherry flavored ANYTHING, and Cherry images. I also LOVE red, black, white & olive, so this card is SO pretty to me 😀

For this pattern on my tea cup which is from A Spot of Tea ©, I combined the patterns in that set, with the cherry image from the Well Preserved set!

 I really adore the cherries from this set. The sentiment from Well Preserved was a perfect fit too 😀

How perfectly cute. You can use any of the fruit images on thier own, or on your tea cup! I’ve always been a big fan of mixing and matching sets.
