birdie tea bag book

Hello!  Several years ago I made one of these tea bag books for the first time and with the release of my Special Blend stamp set, it seemed the perfect opportunity to create another one. It's still one of my favorite templates. They make a cute little gift and this week I needed a little "thank you" for a friend.
The original template I made can be found here. After scoring and sponging the cover, I attached patterned paper to each section.


Decorative paper was scored, folded, punched, and adhered to form pockets... then attached to the inside at the spine. Jumbo eyelets and ribbon were also added to the spine. Here the pockets were stamped with additional images from Special Blend and tea bags were inserted.

 
On the left, the roses on the cup were paper pieced with a scrap of patterned paper.


And here's a close up of the right side.


I hope you enjoy creating a tea bag book of your own!
♥ Diane
