I love Fall! It usually comes late to Northeast Florida, but we sometimes get enough of a cold snap to turn at least a few of the trees into vibrant hues of yellow, gold, orange and red. I’m really looking forward to sweater weather when the air is crisp and the temperature is brisk enough to enjoy a nice hot cider or spiced tea without breaking into a sweat, giggle! ;) That is what inspired 3D182: A Tea Caddy.
I followed Heidi Bak’s tutorial for the basic box measurements and construction, although I kept my overall design much simpler…I love the warm and rich colors of this Teresa Collins paper, and the coordinating washi tape is one reason I really wanted to use it! Not only is the washi tape decorative…in this case, it’s functional, too.
All of the products that I used for my project, including scoring tools, designer paper, washi tape, images from Gourmet Rubber Stamps and gorgeous bling from Zva Creative, are available at i {heart} papers. Our i {heart} papers design team is hosting a blog hop today and we’ve invited the Zva Creative team to join us.
