Well we just got some MORE snow, and the kids are home. OH BOY!!!
After this post I may need to take my own advice for the gift I have to share with you today. It will help me deal with the winter fever, of child crazies. My kids are insane these days. Being cooped up in the house because of wet slushy snow does NOT help matter’s at all.
Im going to have a nice cup of CALMING tea for me. I wonder if its child approved? HMMMM, wouldn’t that be nice?
Anyway-
Tomorrow is the next MFT Release. So here is another MFTeaser. (If you are wondering what that means, its a cute new fancy word to present a sneak peek)
Kim created one of my favorite sets! It is called Serenity Now.
I love the images, and sentiments in it.
Most people may think YOGA when they see it. Not me. I think calm, and relaxing. Images for gifts, along those ideas.
I think wrapped scented candles, get well packages-instead of soups, give herbal rubs, Spa gift certificate’s, facial’s, tea’s and other holistic kinds of gifts.
I decided to create a holder, for those FAMOUS TAZO tea bags! Its a great, easy and unique way to package a gift for someone.
Think NEW mom! Instead of a gift tag, add a tea bag holder to the top of the baby gift, when you present it to her at the hospital. Everyone always forgets the new mom. She is really the one who needs pampering.
So here is my Tea Bag
Created to look similar to an actual tea bag. You could also put in your own homemade tea.
The colors of the image were taken from the colors of my Zen TAZO tea bag.
This bag will nicely fit 4 tea bags. So you can make several per box of tea. You can add it to a mug, or as I said above as a tag for a larger gift, if you like.
I am sharing the instructions here. Click for larger image/directions listed ON the template.
Please remember ALL my templates and idea’s for 3D items belong to ME. You can certainly use them for personal use, but do not submit them for publication.
My sketches however-feel free to use them how you wish.
If you try it I’d LOVE to see what you do! So send me a link. It should be pretty easy to follow. Read as you go.
Enjoy!!!
Tomorrow I have a few more peeks for you 😀
AND due to OVERWHELMING demand-in the next few days I will post a tutorial for my Onesie baby cards. I gave up counting how many people asked for a real VISUAL!
Till tomorrow!

How CUTE!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of this set! I just love Tazo teas. My classroom is soooooo cold I drink two mugs of the “Awake” everyday just to stay warm!
Thank you so much for doing the tutorial on the onesie card!!! I can’t wait for that one! 🙂
This is cute… love the idea of using it for a new mom. You could also use for a mom with kiddies going off to school for the first time (along with tissues 🙂 )
I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of this set.
Thank you for the template too. I’m saving it for later use. Can’t wait to see the tutorial for the onsie card. I have an ‘idea’ but it’s sure nice to have the visual.
Have fun with the snow day. Ever notice they’re extra ‘spun-up’ on a snow day?
Calming hugs,
Renee
This little tea bag is so cute.. TFS… and for all you do…
So adorable! I love it! Sorry the kids are kooky…Shan didn’t sleep well, and she’s a BEAR today…I hated to do that to her teachers…but I’m kinda glad she’s at school 😉
{{{HUGS}}} hope that don’t make you too crazy.
This is super cute, what a great idea and I do agree that the moms get forgotten when they should be pampered the most. Thank you for all your great ideas and inspiration. Stacy
Love this Lauren! I can’t wait to give your pattern a try! When I do, I’ll post a link on my blog. I wish I had your mind when it comes to creativity…I swear there isn’t anything you can’t do. Thanks for being so generous in sharing with all of us.

Love this Lauren! I am not a tea drinker but I suppose some delicious hot chocolate packets would work if you altered the size a bit. Yummy, I wish I had some hot chocolate right now!!
Yes!! I want the tutorial on making the baby onesie – can’t wait. =)
Thanks Lauren!! I made a sample one just to be sure I’m doing the right thing.
Very cute idea!
Looking forward to the onesie tutorial……
What a cute idea!! I love it!! I can’t wait for the release! 🙂
Lauren…….
I forgot to ask…. where I do find the Tazo tea bags?
Target the coffee section 😀
What a Darling idea! I swear Lauren, you come up with the cutest things. You are such an inspiration to all of us and you are SO appreciated by me. Thanks for the heads up on the ink for Copic Ciao markers. I left my work immediately after getting your email and bought the Brilliance Graphic Black. It SO worked…and I will be having a post of CC Designs little penquins that I used this on soon. Thanks again for your advice 🙂
Lauren,
I know this MFT set will be mine tomorrow..LOL
Love the idea for a calming day..have fun with the kiddos…I would love to have a snow day…and day off work..Hugs, Chris
Great idea. This slush is gross isn’t it? My son wants to “go play in the soft snow”. Hopefully he will forget about that after he wakes up from his nap. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the MFTeaser. -Molly B
Boy could I use some claming tea…mine would probably contain a bit of brandy! lol Adorable project…try to stay sane this afternoon! 🙂
Oh I would love a tutorial on the baby onesies. I tried to make a Valentine themed one today for my grandson and it looks more like a football jersey! Yours were so adorable…I don’t know you got the scalloped trim to look so perfect!
Stacy
This is super cute!
Thanks Lauren!!
You are the best……and I totally agree with Velta when she said you are an inspiration to all of us.
Hugs!!
Absolutely a great gift-giver idea. I’ll have to try it amongst all the other projects/ideas I have lined up in my head. :0) TFS!
That’s a real cutie and one I’ll probably use (with credit given) I know lots of people that drink tea by the gallon. I may adapt it for drink mix singles. Either way I will send my version to you. Thank you for your inspiration and artistry!
Love this giftie!
I am stunned that anyone would submit a template that they didn’t create for submission… I fear that this must have happened, or you wouldn’t have to have put it all over the place… and if so, I am so sorry that happened.
I am amazed at how many great ideas are out and around. One idea just spurs the next.
Keep ’em coming, Lauren, I love how you inspire me to do my OWN best ;^)*
This stamp is so cool, too — now I really can’t wait to see the rest of the set!
Hugs!
Goodness girl….this is fabulous! I love it! I think you are right….this will be a FABULOUS gift for someone….thanks for sharing the template…can’t wait to give it a go. Sure hope I have time this week. I haven’t even dug out my suitcases yet, let alone summer clothes….YAH summer clothes! haha!
Ok now I can’t wait for those MFT stamps either…oh boy….YOU…enabled me with the penguins from CC Designs….it’s all your fault 🙂
I can’t believe how your mind is always at work thinking up the neatest ideas! This is very cool and the possibilities are endless once you got my thought process moving along! TFS!!!
Oh sure…I spent 7+ hours on the weekend, figuring out the onesie and finally making a pattern that works…and now the rest of you will be getting a template and tutorial! It was such a cute idea, I just had to try to figure it out. You are such an inspiration Lauren…I so appreciate you sharing your talents and ideas.
Oh, I like that image with a tea bag holder…too cool…especially with the Tzao calm tea. Wonderful. Hmmm….I see ideas.
This is great Lauren..Cute Tea Bag!!!
nice colors….I will give it a try.
This will make a Nice Gift!
Thanks…
Dee
