Lets get started!

I gathered the supplies and cut all the pieces with my Brother:Scan N Cut Electric Machine.

I cut the base of the Tea Dispenser from white cardstock. I cut the panels for the Dispenser from Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck.

 I also trimmed 2 strip from the Rinea Foiled Paper: Violet/Violet Starstruck to accent the base.

Next, I stamped the roses and leaves onto 

the Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck panels for the dispenser 

with Rinea Ghost Ink 2.0. Allowed the ink to sit for about a minute and then rub it off  to reveal the beautiful silver layer. I set them aside while I create the bottom of the dispenser.

  

I adhere the tab of the bottom piece to the other; creating a long base piece. (if you have ever made a pop-up box card it's the same concept). While the bottom is flat, I adhered the Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck panels onto the bottom. Making sure to center the panels so that I had a bit of the white cardstock showing.

  

Next, I adhere the other tab of the bottom portion of the dispenser to create the box shape.

 

Then, I flip the box upside down and put some glue onto the tabs.  I then bring the flap down and press the tabs into place. The, flip the box right side up and apply some pressure inside the box to make sure the tabs are secure. You can leave the bottom of the dispenser here and just place a square piece of cardstock to cover the tabs. However, the SVG file comes with a little base that give it a cute finished look.

 

 

For the *base for the dispenser (has 3 squares and 2 strips with the multi-tabs)

I adhered the 2 strips with the multi-tabs together. By applying a bit of glue to the small tabs on the end of the strips. This will create a square frame. Place the larger tabs towards the bottom and put some glue on the inside of the frame on the tabs. Then, insert one of squares into the frame. Press in place with your fingers. Next,  apply some glue onto the smaller tabs and adhere one of the squares to the frame. Flip over the frame aka flat box and adhere the last square to give the base a clean finish.

 

   

Then, I adhered strips of Rinea Foiled Paper: Violet/Violet Starstruck to the base. I then adhered the base onto the bottom of the dispenser. Making sure to center it.  The bottom of the dispenser if done. I set it aside to create the lid.

  

 

Next, I gather the lid pieces ( 1 white cardstock lid, 1 white cardstock knob, 1 white cardstock inner panel, 1Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck lid top panel, 

4 Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck lid side panels, 

1 Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck knob topper and 

4 Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck knob side panels.) I adhere the

 Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck panels onto the white cardstock pieces.

 

Then, put a bit of glue onto the small tab and press it into place. repeat this on all the tabs. Then, put a bit of glue onto the bigger tab and press it into place. repeat this on all the tabs. This will create the knob for the lid.

 

 

Next, insert the tabs of the knob into the center opening of the lid panel. Then, put a bit of glue on the tab and press in place. The knob is now attached to lid.  Next, put some glue on the tabs of the lid and press in place. Once the lid is formed. Adhere the inner panel to the inside of the lid. The lid is now finished. Place it onto the bottom of the dispenser. 

 

  

Next, I adhered the tea label together. I adhered the  Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck  label onto the Rinea Foiled Paper: Violet/Violet Starstruck label. Then I adhered the labels onto the white cardstock label base. I put some foam adhesive onto the label and press it 

onto the Tea Dispenser

 

 
 

Now the Tea Bag Dispenser is complete! 

Fill it with your favorite tea.

Rinea Foiled Paper: Ruby Red/Ruby Red Starstruck

Brother:Scan N Cut Electric Machine

Lets get started!

I gather all the supplies for the card.

 I cut all the pieces of the Simply Crafty SVG: Tea Pot Card

with my Brother:Scan N Cut Electric Machine. 

I used the Rinea Foiled Paper: Ruby Red/Ruby Red Starstruck for the main parts of the tea pot and the Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck for the background.

Then, I stamped the roses and leaves onto the

 Rinea Foiled Paper: Ruby Red/Ruby Red Starstruck and

 Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck with the Rinea Ghost Ink 2.0 

and Rinea Clear round Stamping Block.  I allowed the Rinea Ghost Ink 2.0  to sit for about a minute a and then wiped it off revealing the silver undertone of the the Rinea Foiled Paper.

  

 

Next,  I gathered the rest of the pieces of the card and started assembling.

I started with the tea holder. I put some tear tape onto the two flaps of the holder. (this is like those little library pockets that we used to have in our books back in the day) I then removed the backing to the tape and pressed the flap onto the tall part of the holder. I flipped the holder around and place 3 strips of tear tape on to the back of the holder. Then, I adhered it to the inside of the card.

  

 

Next, I took the card base and adhered the white tea pot panel onto the base.  Making sure align it so I would have a bit of the red all around the pot. 

 

Then, I adhered the round Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck to the back of the pot lid. I then flip it over and adhered the Rinea Foiled Paper: Ruby Red/Ruby Red Starstruck panel onto the a to lid. Again making sure to align it so I would have a bit of the white lid showing. I set it aside.

  

I then adhered the Rinea Foiled Paper: Ruby Red/Ruby Red Starstruck pot bottom panel onto the card base. Again making sure to align it so I would have a bit of the white lid showing. Next, I adhered the lid to the pot on the card base.

 

Then, I adhered the Rinea Foiled Paper: Merlot/Merlot Starstruck background corners to the card base.  Again making sure to align it so I would have a bit of the red base showing

I then, stamped the tea base and sentiment onto white cardstock.  I colored the tea bag with Copic Markers E33 and R23. Next, I adhered the tea bag to the left hand bottom of the card and the sentiment onto center of the pot with some foam adhesive. The last part is to place a tea bag into the holder on the inside of the card.

  

Now your card is complete!
