TEA POCKET GIFT BOX with CUP OF TEA stamp set - Stampin' Up!

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Tea Pocket Gift Box that will fit 3 tea packets. It measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 x 1/2".

I used Cup of Tea stamp set, Teacup dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes dies and Layering Circle dies.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet Cardstock sized

10 3/4 x 3 3/4".

I scored the 10 3/4" side at:

3 1/4, 3 3/4, 7 and 7 1/2".

I scored the 3 3/4" side at:

1/2".

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after cutting.

Next I flipped my Cardstock over so I was looking at the inside of the box. I folded the the Square that still has the long rectangle attached on the bottom to the inside corner.

Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look from the inside after folding one side in.

I glued the folded triangle down with Liquid Glue.

I attached Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper to the box.

(3) 3 x 3" for the inside and outside of the front flap and the back.

(1) 3 x 3" that I cut in half diagonally. I glued 1 piece to the inner right of the inside of the box.

I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the teacup image onto Basic White Cardstock with Tahitian Tide Ink.

I stamped the large tag outline onto Tahitian Tide Cardstock with Tahitian Tide Ink.

I stamped the sentiment inside the tag with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I cut the cup and tag out using the Teacup dies.

I cut a 2 1/4" scalloped circle from Tahitian Tide Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.

I cut a 2 1/8" dotted circle from Sweet Sorbet Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes dies.

I attached the Circles together with Liquid Glue.

I attached a piece of White Baker's Twine to the back of the right side of the Teacup with Scotch Tape.

I attached the Teacup to the circles with Liquid Glue.

I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Dimensionals.

I attached the Tag to the other end of the Baker's Twine with a Dimensional and attached it to the box on the lower right side.

For the final touch I wound Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the left side of the front flap and tied a knot in the middle of the top. I put a Glue Dot under the Knot to keep it in place.
