Woodland Critters Tea Party in a Box

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with a hot cuppa and a good book.  That's why I created this adorable Woodland Critters Tea Party in a Box Folio with ribbon, trims and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Could anything be more perfect on a woodland themed project than Chipmunk Delicate Stitched Satin?  I've used it as the ribbon closure and added it to the pretty Mixed Earth Tone Chrysanthemum floral cluster, too. It's especially lovely when topped with Pink & Brown Twist Baker's Twine bows.  Sweetheart Blossoms add a pop of dimension to the cute banner, too. 

The folio base is made with 110# cardstock that I've joined together with 1/2" and 1/4" Scor-Tape.  I don't need to worry about all these fun flips, flaps and pockets failing when I use this adhesive to hold things together! 

The tea party is tucked snugly inside the center box pocket of the folio.  Flap pages on either side are filled with tags, pockets, mini folios and flips.  When the treats are all gone, the box pocket is a great place to store photos of your tea party! 

 I've topped this little bookmark with more Chipmunk Satin and more Baker's Twine.  It's the perfect finishing accent for the project.  If you're looking for a great, all-purpose fall ribbon, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pink Autumn Tea Party in a Box

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Fall is finally here!  My favorite season of the year!  So I'm celebrating today with a vintage style Pink Autumn Tea Party in a Box card.  Dressed up with Brown and Cream Tartan Plaid Ribbon and Pumpkin Baker's Twine, it is filled with all the gorgeous colors and textures of fall.  I'm thinking asters and pumpkins, crunchy leaves and steaming mugs of Pumpkin Spice Tea!

I tucked a mini folio into the top of this fall beauty.  Then I created a sweet box pocket to hold a variety of tags and goodies you  might want to have at a tea party for one.

Brown and Cream Tartan Plaid Ribbon looks great on top of the cute die cut luggage tag, especially when tied up with a Pink and Brown Twist Baker's Twine Bow.  Do you ever use ribbon inside your cards?  It's one of my favorite tricks to add texture and interest to a card interior. 

I hope you are enjoying some glorious fall weather and lots of Pumpkin Spice tea whereever you are.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Cold Hands, Warm Heart Winter Tea Party in a Box

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  A winter tea party is a great way to warm up, so I built one into this sweet Victorian style card.  And what could possibly be more Victorian than a poufy Pink Taffeta Ribbon Bow?  

Bakers Twine is always a great addition to a bow cluster.  It comes in loads of color options, but this pink and brown twist is the perfect pairing for this card. 

I've used ribbon inside my Tea Party in a Box, too.  It makes a pretty closure for the waterfall feature on the top half of the card.  Attach the ribbon to the back of the waterfall with a little bit of Scor-Tape, then wrap it around to the front and tie a bow.  Easy peasy! 

Gift wrap your tea party goodies with leftover bits of paper.  Then dress them up with White Satin and Pink Taffeta Ribbon.  You'll be sure to warm someone's heart with a sweet gift like this.

Stay warm and cozy!
