Tea Time Gift

I hope everyone had a splendid Thanksgiving holiday.  Mine was wonderful!  I spent some time with my family.  It was a small gathering, but it was so nice. 

Today I want to share a cute last minute gift idea.  I really like sipping herbal tea when the weather gets cold.  I have many different flavors in my cupboard.  So if ever I am in need of a simple gift I can open my cupboard and choose some flavors to give.  But what makes this gift special in the packaging.  So here are the details on how I made it.  All materials but the ink are from Papertrey Ink.  The ink is from Stampin' Up!.

 
The first thing I did was measure the tea bags.  They measure 3x3 inches.  So I grabbed some purple cardstock and cut 6 1/4 by 6 1/4 square.  Then I scored 1 7/8 inches in on each side of the square.  Then I cut four of the scores as shown in the picture below.  I glued the box together with Tombo adhesive.

 
I added piece of patterned paper on the bottom and scalloped it. Then I stamped an image from the Tea For Two stamp set, cut it out and adhered it with dimensionals.  I wanted to add a little something tot he tea bags so I punched out a tag, stamped it and attached it to the bag with a staple. 

 
  I inserted the box into a cellophane bag and added a box and a couple tags.  The gift is finished in no time and it looks so special.  It's really great for teachers, neighbors or bring it with you to that last minute Christmas bash. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  I hope to have more Christmas ideas for you soon.  Including some really great ideas I have discovered while blog surfing.
