Well it is FINALLY here———> The Papertrey Ink Release!
Its crazy how much amazing stuff has gone on with the release this month 😀
My Timeless Templates ©-Get a Handle On It © , and From the Desk Of ©-are NOW available for purchase!
I am STILL working on some MORE samples 😀
As for my release projects this month-there is only ONE you haven’t seen :C YUP! One measly sample. Don’t forget I did share LOTS of eye candy over the last few days. A SAHM to 3 can only do so much ya know.
My last peek uses Tea for Two
“I’m a little tea pot ” box
I seriously sang the “Im a little teapot” song while making this project, and typing this post! LOL! Its actually driving me INSANE!
This is the detail shot of my project focus. I punched and colored a mini flower, and colored in my leaves. This is my favorite tea pot image from the set. Maybe because Beautiful Blooms is my ALL TIME favorite flower set-to date! I also LOVE the layering of the nestabilities.
This is the best tea set EVER!!!! I’m beyond in love with it 😀 So many possibilities. For some reason I’m on a PURPLE kick this month! LOL! In case you didn’t notice. I think 3 of my projects used it. Maybe more. Whose counting right? As long as it all works.
OK so here is the TAH-DAH! moment…….
I used my Timeless Template- Get a Handle On It, to create a gift box that LOOKS like a tea pot.
Can you say LOVE IT?!!!!! (yes I am very excited over it)
How flippin cute is that?!
It was inspired by the tea pot on the box.
I am SOOOOOOO proud of it, because I free-handed the handle and spout template-which is double sided. I so stink at DRAWING-so I let my scissors be my guide.
Did you think this box could be a tea pot?
Tha handle and spout, adhere NEATLY to the box, which is the KEY!
EEK! Blurry photo ALERT! Sorry.
I did stamp the back too-can’t forget that.
I’m seriously IN LOVE! Thank goodness I had the right frame of mind to make another handle/spout “template” for myself BEFORE adhering it to my box, and attempting it again. These were perfect on the FIRST try! Not something that happens often-let me tell you.
Now here is the “label” on the box top.
I think its just so darn purty. I used the Key Tag Punch to make my handle on the top.
Inside this Tea Pot Box-there is Passion Tea from TAZO. An entire box fits-with room on the sides.
Despite the photo-it matched my project PERFECTLY!!!
Love packaging ever-day items, into special gifts 😀 I mean really. You package “tea” in wrapping paper and its *just* tea! You put it in this box, and its SO much more. Don’t you think?
For a whopping $5 this template offers so much variety! I really love it. Well I guess thats a lame statement! LOL! I wouldn’t do anything I didn’t LOVE! LOL!
Supplies all from Papertrey Ink
My Timeless Template: From the Desk Of
Stamps: Two for Tea, Beautiful Blooms
Cardstock: Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, Lavender Moon, and eggplant
Ink: Black and copic markers
Satin ribbon in Lavender Moon
Labels 3 & circle nestability
Flower punch, adhesive pearl
Lastly-this was the concept project for “From the Desk Of” template
For Robyn
I made my own patterned paper using Friends Til the End. I also used Simply Stationery and Fresh Alpha!
We did re-enforce the “original” divider, from the original you see here, for a more STURDY box.
All the tweaking that comes after the original concept is put into production. Always lots more tweaking. Often times I just NEED to get it out onto cardstock-ASAP! Then when I know it “works” I tweak and tweak some more.
Now this box can definitely be given EMPTY and still produce a WOW!
This is a comment taken from Robyn (:D) The friend I made this for-on my blog yesterday
“Hey Lauren …. your two new creations are splendid 🙂 I hope all your ~peeps~ realize how beautiful and EASY your Templates are to print and recreate!
And I’m especially fortunate, as I am the proud owner of one of Lauren’s “From The Desk Of…” creations that she personally created for me with my name on it. I can’t tell you how many friends and family comment on it’s {{{WOW }}} factor and how stunning it is sitting on my desk :0) I’ve also have two requests to make this item already after seeing mine, from friends & family! It totally blows me away every time I see it, knowing that it’s made from paper, rubber & ink … but also because I know Lauren puts her Heart & Soul into all her creations 🙂
So make sure you download some ~*Timeless Templates*~ tonight, via PTI; you will fall in love with Lauren all over again =)”
Isn’t she sweet?! She always makes my day.
So there you have it! All my peeks are done!
I hope you enjoyed the items I shared here. I literally POUR every OUNCE of creative being I have into these projects each month-to ensure lots of creative ideas 😀 You are all so inspiring to me 😀 Your kind words and sharing YOUR creations, really keeps me going. Your my subliminal-energizer battery! LOL!
So once again-thanks for helping inspire me to better my best!
More to come tomorrow…………..

Lauren – You’ve outdone yourself….again! It’s been such a fun week seeing all your fabulous projects!
Your tea pot box is totally cute!
Great job… as always!
Hugs!
I love your teapot box! I got your templates and can’t wait to play. :0) I was wondering..what punches do you use to make your flowers? I can’t for the life of me figure out how you did them!
Ack!! I just Love your teapot!! I can so see that as a Christmas gift for my Mom (she’s a tea junkie!…..well, she might prefer the term tea afficionado!!). Thanks for the Great visual!!!! :>:>
Stamp them SOLD! I’m running to get both of the templates & stamp set now! How do you do it time & time again? In a word- WOW!
Karli
*Grumble*…thanks Lauren, now you’ve got me humming that song, won’t be able to get that out of my head for the rest of the day! 😉 Love your new templates and all your fantastic creations, hats off to you girl, you’ve done it again!
Hugs,
Erica
Awww Lauren, you are so sweet for blogging my comments and sharing the wonderful, generous gift I received from you a few months ago 🙂 I really enjoy the chocolate and turqoise CS you created mine in so I might just stick to that colour scheme for the time being. I’m also going to make matching “Match Boxes” (via Timeless Templates) to go along with “From The Desk Of…” :0)
Hope you had a wonderful release tonight and partied like a ~~Rock Star~~!! ha ha Now you can sit back and hopefully relax that brain of yours for a few days, while the rest of us ===>Stamping Freaks<=== go nuts with the new Templates and PTI products 🙂
Thanks again Lauren for all that you do; you are by far one of a kind.
Hi Lauren! I set my alarm to get up at 11:00 so I could get this set at midnight! Please tell how you’ve done the flowers the last couple of days! Maybe a video on how you alter the punch?
Thanks for so much inspiration! My teapot runneth over!
Cheryl

This is SO darn cute! You make the bes tthigs Lauren, and you are so right about it being a better gift when it comes in special packaging!!! I LOVE IT!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us – you must never sleep!
This one almost brought tears to my eyes. I always save your blog (the best) for last each morning so I can savor it. You just never disappoint. I love being able to copy your designs…I just can’t imagine being able to CREATE them! Thanks so very much for all you give to us.
I just LOVE your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have downloaded the templates for this month, but are you going to share the template for the handle and spout(I am not good at making those, without help). Thanks again for all your inspiration.
Your tea pot is terrific. Such talent in your brain!

Looking forward to the release again this month!!
Oh wow Lauren!! I love this teapot!! Since I’m the tea drinker of the family I have to have one! How did you do the handle & spout??
I loooooooove all your boxes!!
Hi Lauren! What a cute, cute idea! I thought it was adorable. . . and then I saw the handle and the spout! So fun!!! Just one question for you though: What punch did you use for that little flower? It is really cute! And is it the same style as one you used on the black and yellow From the Desk of box you showed earlier this week? Thanks!!!
You are the bomb! You keep outdoing yourself…amazing! LOVE that teapot box!!
Outstanding!!
Your Teapot box is so Sweet..
I love the flower & leaves.
Again..You are so Very Creative!!
TFS
You are simply amazing!!! I have all your templates but I have to say that this is one that I MUST have. There isn’t a template you have made that I don’t like. I cannot wait to try all these out.
I love all your templates, and have most of them. The two this month are no exception – MUST HAVES! Pretty please post the teapot handle and spout templates. I’m begging. Most of us aren’t as genius as you are!
cute teapot and love..love…love the box ….colors are great and has such a great wow factor….well done …. once again…
Love the teapot box, you are so darn creative… Everything is beautiful as always… Have a blessed day!!
Lauren, creativity must ooze out of your pores. I sweat blood and tears over each project; but you just ooze out a little more creativity and off you go! I love these two new templates – they might just be my faves. And I absolutely love reading your blog – I can feel your excitement just jumpin out of the screen at me! So much fun!!!
OH Lauren is that not the CUTEST tea pot!! You AMAZE me every day I come by for my visit here on your blog!!! I so cant wait to play with my new template… hopefully today.. lots to do so we shall see!!!
Have a GREAT Day! thanks for SHARING your talent with us!!
eeekkkkk! I love it! Are you going to share the spout and handle or are they included when you purchase the template? Thanks!
How clever that you made the handle and spout. This is a stunning project!!!!!!! Love the flower that just sets off the total project. I must admit that I also sang that song when I first saw this set!
Hey Lauren! I ever thought I’d be this excited about April 15th!!! I immediately purchased your template “Get A Handle On It” I can’t wait to make the cutest gifts with it! What lb. cardstock do you use with your templates? I have 80lb. paper but my printer keeps jamming!! Uuggggh!
These are terrific projects!! Which there isn’t one that I didn’t like. I just love your teapot box. The color combo is great and I love how you did the spout and handle on the box. So genius!!!
Lauren, always beautiful creations and always sharing. What punch did you use to cut that flower? So BEAUTIFUL and I do love it all.
what a great gift idea! I love that tea pot!
that teapot box is probably one of your most creative ideas yet! how cool!!
That teapot is stinkin cute! I made a birthday present using your “Get a Handle On It” template. It’s up on my blog if you’d like to check it out.

WOW, this is amazing love all the boxes and the way you have decorated them!
xxxx
Lauren,
I just wanted to thank you so much for the templates you are designing. I made this one and posted it on my blog. Love how the papers can make it look totally different. Keep on going gal! LOL.
Tip: For an even cleaner way to neatly attach the spout and handle, make a vertical slit and pass the flaps into the inside and adhere flaps to the inside of the box. No flaps showing at all!
Love the tea box idea! This would be so cute sitting on the counter.
When I saw this template last month, I immediately purchased it. I am going to use it for “favors” for my mom’s 75th bday party which will be held at a tea room – it will be perfect!! I have been watching your blog daily and have not yet seen the pattern for the handle & spout. I will be working on the teapot this coming week and I would be very grateful if I had the pattern. Thanks!!
Good point. Thank you for sharing.
