Welcome to our TEA Blog Hop!
I have 2 projects to show you today using the Serendipity Stamps Tea Pot & Cup dies! I had so much fun playing with these adorable dies. They match Graphic 45's Botanical Tea paper perfectly!
First up I have a boxed set of 4 small cards. Lately I've been making a bunch of boxed sets of cards using the Envelope Punch Board tool. You can make a box for just about any size card with it.
Here is the inside of the box before I assembled it.
It is MUCH easier to decorate it BEFORE you glue it together.
This is the outside of the box after I decorated it. I cut the Doily in half and used it on the inside and outside of the envelope box flap. The paper for the box is 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 and the first score mark is at 2 3/4. After the first score and punch slide the paper to the left by 1 inch. Punch and score again. Then, follow the directions for making an envelope but each paper side has 2 score marks and 2 punches.
My second project is a card made with the same materials.
I made some flowers with the matching 6x6 pink paper and MFT flower dies.
Inside I stamped this great TEA sentiment. The cute little matching cup is the perfect accent for the corner.
The finished size of this card is 5 3/8 square.
FOR THE HOP:

This is the backside of the envelope box. The box measures 4 3/4" x 3 3/8" with a depth of 3/4". The envelopes are 4 1/4" x 3 1/8". The cards measure 4 x 3.
Here is the box open. Excuse my fingers but there was no other way to show it open!
Making these envelopes is very economical because they use 6x6 pieces of paper. Three are shown here with the front of the box.
I had so much fun making these tiny cards.
They are simple but each feature the tea pot, cup, or both!

Here is what the inside of one of them looks like. The rest are similar.

Are you serious?!! ...Miriam, these are all just lovely! Fabulous box too. Once again you've worked your magic with those papers and the new dies!
So pretty how you filled in the die cuts in different colors. They're all beautiful. What a lovely gift this would be.
Absolutely stunning Miriam! I love the papers you used, they are perfect for these beautiful dies. I love your set of cards, what a lovely gift, and your card is so beautifully layered.
Very lovely and such a lovely gift idea too!!
So much beauty on your post today. I love all your gorgeous cards!
These are all simply stunning! Funny, but when I first saw the new dies I thought that they'd go well with G45's Botanical Tea papers - and here you are with the same idea! Great minds think alike etc!
So gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this idea. This is definitely going on Pinterest.
Unbelievably gorgeous color scheme! Now I know I want the envelope punch board, too!
Gorgeous, Miriam! I love all the little individual notes w/ the matching box. So clever and beautiful!

Eeeks....fantastic!! Love everthing! I bought an envelope punch board but, have had not time to play!! Oh and those papers are perfect!
Your beautiful box and cards set and your lovely card has left me speechless. Love these new dies and the sentiments. Gorgeous!
These are gorgeous. I love the teapot and cup and need to get my Envelope Punch Board out and learn how to use it. Wonderful job.
Unbelievably precious. I love this card set you created. However, I would have a serious problem if you were to give it to me for a gift. I wouldn't be able to give them away. They would be hanging all over my house. Wonderful job.
Your cards are stunning, wow!!!! That box is perfectly beautiful too!!
Wow! Love the way this opens!
Incredible card set! Thanks for sharing how you made the box too!!
