DIY Birthday Gift for Tea Lovers

DIY Birthday Gift For Tea Lovers- Know a tea lover with a fall birthday? My sweet sister-in-law Barb and I share a few things in common- including a Halloween birthday and love of tea. So guess what she got for her birthday last week? Take a looksee….One of my favorite teas is called Ambrosia, from the San Francisco Herb Co. It’s a loose tea sold by the pound, delicious iced or hot. It’s also a favorite of Barb’s, so when I bought some recently, I knew I wanted to share it. Our Copper Tea Tins are adorable, but, unfortunately they didn’t fit my shipping box, so I had to come up with another solution.

Our 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bags are great for all-purpose gift packaging! They’re thick weight and gusseted, so they fit rather a lot, but when laid out, the contents can be spread flat- perfect for shipping! There’s so much you can do with these bags, though. Want to see another fun gift idea? Check out these cute treat holders with video tutorial. A Christmas version is coming soon!

COUNTRY LANE SUITE 

The Country Home Stamp Set and Country Lane Designer Series Paper are my current go-to’s for fall occasions, including birthdays. 

Did you notice the sentiment? A little simple masking takes it from “Happy HARVEST Blessings” (from the above Country Home stamp) to “Happy BIRTHDAY Blessings” (using the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set below… one of my all time fave sets). It’s easy to customize sentiments with Post-It Notes or Washi Tape!

There’s so many great fall patterns to choose from in the COUNTRY LANE Designer Series Paper, it’s easy to mix and match your favorites!
