C is for Cookie - Donna's Tea Dispenser Box

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am such a tea girl. I love my cups of tea........ pretty much all day long! So Donna has totally won me over today with her Tea Dispenser Box. I SO need to make this one!

Hi all,

How are we all with all the chilly weather we have been having.. I have to be honest I love the wood heater but don't like all the mess that comes with it..

Today I made a tea bag holder or a tea dispenser box is what I called it.. I love this paper and it went brilliantly with the black Licorice Twist bazzill cardstock..

Cut a piece of Candy Necklace Bazzill cardstock at 6 inches x 12 inches.. Score at 1 inch. 

Turn and score at 3 1/16 inches, 5 3/4 inches, 8 13/16 inches, 11 1/2 inches. 

Close up of where the score lines are..

Measure up 1 3/4 inches from the bottom at the second score line and draw a line.

Cut out as shown along the line you just made and cut a slit up to the score line on the third panel and cut the corner away on the bottom right..

The box should now look like this.. 

Hint: When I make another one I will cut a small piece of cardstock to place on the inside above the cut out piece to strengthen it a fraction..

Cut the top of the box at 4 5/8 inches x 4 1/4 inches, score 3/4 inches on all four sides.

Cut to score lines on two sides and trim corners as shown.

Cut the base at 31/2 inches x 3 1/4 inches.

Adhere the box together as shown on the base..

I cut a mat to fit inside the box just to neaten it.. 

Fold the lid as show and adhere.. Again I cut mats to neaten the lid . 

(just realised I haven't a photo to show you of the inside sides I finished eek)

I did take a photo of the outside sides lol

The mats are 2 7/8 inches x 2 5/8 inches, 5/8 inch x 2 7/8 inches

Box with the mats , Cut Three pieces of  4 7/8 inches x 2 7/8 inches for the black. 4 5/8 inches x 2 5/8 inches for the designer paper.. Cut one side at 2 1/2 inches x 4 1/8 inches

I placed a black band around the box and using 3D foam tape placed Cut - Aparts from the 12 x 12 cardstock on three sides..

I mounted the sticker on a piece of scrap cardboard and used 3D foam tape to give a little dimension. I inked around the wooden embellishment Forever Friends with Distress Ink and covered that and Mom's Diner with Glossy Accents..

Again I inked around the edges and applied Glossy Accents over the hearts.

The finished box.
