Cup of Tea- Tea Bag Pocket

I love teas. I grew up in a town where there are lots of tea tree farms. I really miss the pretty greens and the calm feeling when you are around them.

When I saw the Cup of Tea bundle from the new annual catalog, it reminded me of home. I used this beautiful set to create the Tea Bag Pocket as the “Coming Gift” for my open House.

Create the perfect paper cup of tea with the Cup of Tea Stamp Set, designed for tea lovers. Start by stamping a teacup, then stamp a slice of lemon and a tea bag and finish off with a sentiment that says what you want to say. You can say thank you. Remind someone that it’s time to get together or that you miss them. Not in the mood for tea? You can use the botanical images and sentiments for other projects as well. I love how versatility of this stamp set.

I also use the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper for the Tea Bag Pocket. The Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper has a designer mix of watercolor and hand-drawn imagery that would be at home in a posh boutique. The artwork has tea-themed images—teacups, teapots, lemons, herbs—on one side with all-purpose patterns on the other side. Use whatever side suits your mood and projects. It’s like getting two packs of paper in one! I lalso love the paper that uses the new In Colors- the colors are so viperine and happy!!😉
