It’s Tea Time!

Hi and Happy Monday everybody, this is Vanessa having the honour to post a project today!

I love tea. I always did – never drank any coffee before I was like 23 or so. Now I finally bought the adorable “Tea for Two” set and don’t know what took me so long! Couldn’t wait to ink it up and wanted to create something special. So I made this:

I sewed this tea cosy and made two tea pot appliqués, stamping the image onto the floral fabric, cutting it out and ironing one on each side of the cosy.

Then I tried to create matching teapots on paper for the bag and the card. To achieve this I used images from the “Turning a New Leaf” set and “Beautiful Blooms” set. The glassine bag contains my new favourite herbal tea, called “Happiness” (and it works!!).

That’s it. I hope you like my little set!

Have a great week everybody! And thanks again to Aimes and Kate, it’s so exciting to post here!

  1. Oh that is gorgeous!! Love your idea of the tea cosy!! and the fitting tea bags… great work! I have this set too… should go and do something with it NOW!! Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. I have this set too and I also love it a lot. Your set looks good! I'll have to case it as a friend who drinks only tea has her birthday on Saturday and this would look good as a present.Eveline

  3. Fabulous set Vanessa and as we are nearly all tea lovers in our family I can see I will be copying your idea when a gift is needed next time. I love the idea of using the stamp as an applique – brilliant!
