With Fall around the corner, here is a great project to make for those special people you want to thank. This is using the new At Home With You stamp set in the new catalog.

Hospitality Tea Holder Thank You

Directions:

Score on the LONG side of the 4”x7.5” piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock at 3”, 3.5”, 6.5”, and 7″ ; and on the SHORT side at .5″. Use your bone folder to burnish your folds; then cut as shown in the picture below.

Stamp the sunflowers on the Pumpkin Pie Cardstock using the Pumpkin Pie Ink pad.

Apply adhesive on the side flap and adhere. Continue with the bottom flap to form a box.

Using your fingers, press in on the sides of the top of the box to create the gussets. Place your two tea bags inside. Cut a piece of the burlap ribbon at 12.5” and then cut in half lengthwise. Tie the ribbon piece around the top and then fray the ends. Next, stamp your sunflower/pumpkin image on the Watercolor paper using the Black Archival Ink Pad. Color with Watercolor pencils and blend with Blender Pens. Cut out your shape using the Framelits and then adhere Dimensionals to the back. Stamp the sayings onto the rest of the watercolor paper. Punch this out with the 1 3/8” round circle. Punch a 1 ½” circle from Crumb Cake Cardstock and sponge lightly with Soft Suede Ink. Adhere the two round pieces together; place on the upper left corner of the box. Place the sunflower/pumpkin image on the lower right corner.
