Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Box

Hi all! I have a sweet new project to share with you today using the new Toolbox die from Eileen Hull's Vintage Travel collection. I decided to use Graphic 45's Botanical Tea paper to turn it into a pretty tea-themed gift box.

Before assembling my tool box, I first painted the inside and all the edges with blue paint. I adhered the papers as shown and added some paper roses and lace to give it even more of a feminine look.

I was so excited when I discovered the cards from the 12"x12" paper pad fit inside the box! I adhered various tea bags to the back and then wrote the name on the front. Very quick and easy and such a nice treat for the recipient. I finished my box by tying a small silver spoon on the handle with some crinkle ribbon.

I'm so happy with how this turned out! I think it would make a lovely Mother's Day gift, teacher's gift, or just a special treat for a friend who needs a little lift.

You still have time to take part in this month's Art with Heart Challenge. You can find all about it on Eileen's blog. I hope you'll join us!

You can find the supplies I used at Sizzix and Simon Says Stamp. The Toolbox die will be available in May, so make sure you check your local and online retailers!
