Create an ENVELOPE TREAT BAG featuring the TEA BOUTIQUE SUITE

Happy August!!  The summer is passing so quickly and my mind will be moving to the upcoming holidays.  Before that, I want to share some fun projects using the TEA BOUTIQUE SUITE.  This suite has so many amazing products.  I recently designed a card kit using them and my customers loved the fun folds they got to create.

With the products in this suite, it's so easy to create beautiful things.

For this project, I will be using the CUP OF TEA BUNDLE and the set of coordinating TEA BOUTIQUE CARDS & ENVELOPES.

To make the treat bag, choose one of the envelopes and place it on the SCORING BOARD. On all sides, except for the flap, score at 3/4in. Use your BONE FOLDER to crease these score lines. Your score lines will create 3/4in squares on the ends of the bottom side of the envelope.  Fold that small square in half on a diagonal, from the inside out and crease well.  Unfold and create a triangular fold that will make the bottom of the treat bag on both ends.  Adhere with TOMBOW.  Fold in the 3/4in edges of the flap and adhere them down as well.  You have now created your treat bag.

For the belly band, cut a piece of PARAKEET PARTY card stock at 10in by 2in.  Score on the LONG side at 1-1/4in, 5in, 8-3/4in.  Fold and crease the score lines. Wrap around the treat bag and secure the tabs underneath using TOMBOW.  

For the embellishment, use a BASIC WHITE 2-1/8in circle and a STARRY SKY coordinating scallop for the base.  For the tea cup, cut the cup using TAHITIAN TIDE card stock, the overlay using PARAKEET PARTY, the lemon using SO SAFFRON for the lemon and DAFFODIL DELIGHT for the detail piece.  The tea tag uses BASIC WHITE for the base and FLIRTY FLAMINGO for the heart.  Assemble the pieces and add the cup to the circle using DIMENSIONALS.  Adhere the tea tag to the right side of the cup and tuck the lemon behind the lip of the cup.

For the sentiment, stamp in STARRY SKY ink on a BASIC WHITE card stock 1/2in strip. Adhere to the front of the cut using TOMBOW.

These treat bags are quick and easy to make and you can use any envelope you have in your stash.  The video below shows how the treat bag comes together.
