Tea Pot Gift Box with “Tea Bag” Gift Card Holder

This project was made for Laurie’s “Stamp Out Cancer – Challenge #4 – ABC Challenge” for StampTV.  For this challenge, we are to create an ABC project.  ABC stands for “anything but a card” which can include something as simple as a tag, something as detailed as a home decor item, or anything in between.   (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

It was also made for Lee’s “In the Pink for October” Mod Squad Challenge. In following with the very important theme of cancer awareness…..her challenge this week is to use pink – any pink, any way.  (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

This tea pot gift box was made from a kit from svgcuts called Tea For You And Me SVG Kit.  Click HERE  to check it out at svgcuts.com.

The kit contains svg files of all of the pieces needed to create this tea pot box.  I used my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine to cut the svg files.  Once all of the pieces were cut out, I assembled and glued everything together and ended up with this amazing box!  SVGCuts has great tutorial videos that go with each of their their projects to help with assembling the pieces.  (HERE is the You Tube video link for this project tutorial, or you can watch it on their site as well.)

This box can be assembled with any paper you choose so it can be made for a variety of occasions.  The paper I used was a solid sheet from the DCWV Brights Cardstock Stack, and the pink and blue floral patterned paper was “Florence” by Melissa Frances.

For the “tea bag” which is really a gift card holder, I used paper from the Gina K Pool Side printed paper pack (the printed blue paper), and some Recollections paper (the printed pink and solid blue) that I picked up at Michaels.  For the stamped images, I  used the Gina K Designs “A Little Something” and “Little Branches” sets stamped with Memento paris dusk ink.
