Whiff of Joy Design Team Project of the Month/Stamp Somethings Challenge

I am entering this in this weeks Stamp Soomething Challenge - it's for fancy folds and there's lots of folding in this project. Katharina set the DT an unusual challenge this month - decorative packaging for tea and a teacup. Being my first challenge as a DT member I was terrified and did not have a clue what I was going to make. Splitcoast Stampers came to my rescue - if you have an afternoon or two to spare do pop over to their resources section, the projects and ideas and tutorials are amazing!

I decided to make a Diaper Fold Pouch to hold some herbal tea which was so easy to make (i've made a few more of these since to use for small Xmas gifts instead of gift boxes.

I also made a Bag-a-lope to hold the teacup, which again is so simple to make (and again I've made lots of these for Xmas - talk about being prepared lol).

I used Willow with Hot Chocolate by Whiff of Joy which I coloured with distress inks and H2O's.
Paper is Anna Griffin
The border punch is by Martha Stewart - Lace Doily punch
The sentiment I got from good old Mr Google (what would we do without it!!)

Please do go take a look at the other DT members projects - they will blow you away! Links are in my side bar. All the projects are posted on the Whiff of Joy site and are fabulous.

There will be a new project next month and all I can say is it's amazing!!


Thanks for looking,

Sorry Bev for my faux par! I have been having a crazy week and my brain is not functioning too well.
Needless to say I am now going to lie down in a dark room.
This is so gorgeous, and I am totally in awe of your brilliance.
I definitely know who I am commenting on now. My very bad for getting it wrong. You know I love you.
