Handmade Strawberry White Tea Bags with Paper Sweeties





Have you ever had Strawberry White Tea?  I was in my favorite coffee hangout, Beans and Leaves, and started looking at all the tea flavors.  Strawberry White Tea caught my eye.  I knew I wanted to do a couple of strawberry "things" with Paper Sweeties new stamps.  I have to tell you, the tea smells divine!


So, the Strawberry White Tea Gift was created.  See Abigail in her new strawberry outfit (Thanks Berry Much stamp set)?  She's popped on a clothespin holding the glassine bag closed and keeping the tea bags fresh.  The bag is embossed with tea images from stamp set I'm Having A Tea Party.  Abigail is holding a sentiment from Tea for Two.

Making your own tea bags is actually fun and pretty easy!


Die cut the tea bag paper into desired shape and sew around, leaving an opening for one teaspoon of tea leaves. Finish sewing.  Run thread from the middle top of the bag through the top of the strawberry die cut (or whatever shape you want).  And it's done, that easily!


I let the tea brew for awhile after taking this picture.  I like my tea fairly strong and a white tea is fairly light - but it is tasty!

Embossing Continues with Paper Sweeties



Who knew the  new border stamps from Paper Sweeties would make such a pretty butterfly?  Welcome to Day Two of the new stamp release and I've got more embossing!


I started out making a simple journal - just some folded notebook paper and cardstock sewed down the spine.  To make the middle part, I stamped and embossed the border several times and die cut a butterfly.  (The sentiment is from the new You Are stamp set.) Then I wanted  to package it up and add a special tag.


This would make such a sweet little gift.  The Paper Sweeties blog has all the details for the August release festivities and sweet inspiration, too!

Heat Embossing with Paper Sweeties



It's Day One of Paper Sweeties Pre-Release.  Isn't this flower image pretty?


I got carried away with the embossing - I heat embossed everything!  I like how it turned out and I love the colors on the kraft card.  The flowers and sentiment are from the new You Are set and the border along the bottom is from the new set aptly named Borders!


Check out the Paper Sweeties blog for all the fun things going on with the August Release and for more Paper Sweeties inspiration!
