Tea-Bag Dispensers - Magnolia-licious Highlites September Challenge

Hello.

It's a new month so it's a new monthly challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog.
Woo-hoo...this is my first project as a new Design Team member.   I'm sooo... excited!  I'm really going to enjoy working with the ever so talented ladies there--several were my teammates from the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Thanks Diana for having me here!

The theme for this month, chosen by our hostess Cabio, is Anything But A Card.
Here's my DT project for the September Challenge at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog. 

I got this idea for Tea-Bag Dispensers from my sister a while back.  I googled for a tutorial and found one I liked, created by Heidi Baks HERE.

I've made 3 tea-bag dispensers.  Each box is for only one type/flavor of tea--and featuring a different Tilda, each sitting on a tea cup.  The Tea Cup image is from the Magnolia's Yummy For Your Tummy Collection 2009.
Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious on-line store.  Diana has a vast stamp collection of both the full-size and mini-size images.  She also carries cutting dies--Magnolia Doohickey, Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Marianne Design, Cheery Lynn and Joys! Craft.  The prices are discounted and for a bonus, you receive a 2% in-store credit to be applied to future purchases.  Sweet!

On the first tea-bag dispenser, I have used Tilda as a Star from Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012.

On the 2nd tea-bag dispenser, I am featuring Pie Tilda from the same collection (link is for the mini stamp--the full-size one currently out of stock).

And on the 3rd one, this is Tilda With Lovely Lace Shoes also from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012.

I have put labels for the names of the teas on the lids.

The sides of the boxes were decorated very simply.  If I arrange the boxes on the table side by side in a row, nobody will be looking at the sides anyway...LOL.  If I only have the one tea-bag dispenser only or give it out as a gift, then I would probably decorate the sides more elaborately.

Hope you will play along with us in our challenge--you have until the end of the month, so lots of time!--for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate from Magnolia-licious.  For more details on the challenge and more inspirations from the fabulous projects of my DT teammates hop over to the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog, HERE.
