Pillow Box of Tea

Hello, everybody! Welcome to Day 5 of the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! The hop runs through December 18 and anyone can join!  We are focusing on winter/holiday projects with images of coffee, tea, or cocoa. It's a blog hop so commenting is encouraged and much appreciated!


Before I get started, I would like to wish everyone a Happy International Tea Day! Cocoa had its day and now it's tea's turn!


Today I am sharing a little pillow box full of tea! Thank you to my sweet friend Alice P for sending me the pillow box die-cuts - I am finally using one!  I embossed it with Cuttlebug Snowflakes.  The adorable kitty image is from By Miss Rach called Christmas Cocoa Cat and is available as a freebie! She has some other adorable freebies there as well so head over and check them out!


I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and added a hand-drawn snowflake on the cup using my white gel pen. I die-cut the Stampendous Snowflake in silver glitter cardstock and added some Baker's twine from DL.ART.  I stamped the Whimsy Stamps sentiment in red and die-cut into a stitched tag (La-La Land).


Inside the pillow box is 3 packages of my favourite Chocolatey Chai herbal tea! 


And of course I have to share the daily goings-on of my elf Eli. In keeping with the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and International Tea Day, Eli decided to check out another of my snowman mugs. He's whispering to me that it's empty! Time for a refill of that yummy Chocolatey Chai herbal tea!  Eli is linking up over at DL.ART's Third Annual Elf Antics Linky! If you have a little elf, you will want to join Eli, Arci, Ron, Daisy, Elizabeth, Loopy, Elfin, and Hope in their funny elf antics!

I would also like the join the following challenges:  Beccy's Place AG UE; Bunny Zoe's Sparkle UECardz TV Christmas Giftbag or Box 2/3; Choux Choux Paper Art Christmas Winter UE; Come and Get It Christmas Anything But a Card 2/3; Craft Your Passion AG 3/3; Craftin Desert Divas Christmas Linky UE; Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas AG Christmas UE; Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Extra December UE; Die-Cuttin Divas AG Christmas 1/3; Dies R Us Snowflakes 1/3; DL.ART December Linky UE 1/day; Dragonfly Dreams It's Christmas UE; Fussy and Fancy Happy Holidays UE; Inspiration Destination AG UE; Just Keep on Creating December AG UE;Mod Squad All that Glitters UE; Not Just Cards AG UE; Pile It On Christmas/Winter UE; Scrapbook Blessings Club 3rd Annual Christmas Party UE; Show Us Your Pussies - Cats Only Krimbo Kitties UE; Simon Says Stamp Monday A Pinch of... red ink for the sentiment 3/5; Sparkles Monthly Favourite Christmas Colours (traditional red and green) 1/3; Sweet Stamps Blog AG UE; The Outlawz Friday Colouring Gifts or Gift Packaging 1E; Tuesday Throwdown AG 1/3

I'm so happy you have used a pillow box, Kitty!!! :) And your embossing looks so beautiful on it! The gorgous glittered snowflake is so beautiful and you give a great touch with the kittle snowflake drawn on the cup of the cute kitten! Well done!

Eli, I've not heard of a chocolate chai tea. My daughter likes chai teas: David Rio Tiger Spice & David Rio Elephant Vanilla. World Mkt sells the first one in stores but the other is only available online at least that is the case here in Central TX. I ordered some of the Elephant Vanilla for my daughter for her birthday which is after Christmas, 12/27.

Darling image and design! I did not know Chai tea came in chocolate, I'll be looking for that! Cute picture of Elf!

Suzanne Reynolds said...

You have really been busy with this Hop and I have enjoyed all of your cards and projects. This one is so adorable, and thank you for sharing the freebie site...I have copied and saved it to my favorites to visit after I get through the Hop.

What a wonderful Christmas gift this will make Kitty, great idea! I love the sweet little cat image, once again you've done a wonderful colouring job. The addition of the gorgeous glittery snowflake really takes your project to another lever. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy

This pillow box is just beautiful and I love your adorable little cocoa drinking kitty! You're lucky you have Eli to let you know when you need a refill and all you need to do now is teach him how to make more so you don't have to do it!

Hi Kitty,

Firstly wishing you a very happy belated 2016, I hope this year is a really good year for you. Sorry that I haven't been around since December, life got crazy and because I was so disorganized I needed to take a break and take time to catch up on everything, all has finally calmed down and I am looking forward to 2016. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this amazing project at Anything goes December link-up, Just keep on creating. You are one of the featured artists and also the link-up has just been posted for February, I look forward to seeing lots of your beautiful creations xx
