Here's an easy card to make for just about any occasion. I'm planning on using it for Mother's Day. It would also make a nice tea party invitation. On the back of the teabag is the message. Simple directions below.Supplies
White heavy card stock
Scissors
Exacto knife
Glue
String
Right click, copy and save to a program such as Word. Print out teacup template. It's designed to fit on standard letter size paper.
Cut out teacup and rectangle. Fold both in half so they line up as perfect as possible. Unfold.
Apply glue to teacup (refer to picture). Fold together. Let dry.
Cut out a piece of paper the same size as the tea bag. Tape the string to the paper. Cover up the string by taping the teabag to the paper. Tape string to the inside of the rectangle template and glue shut.
Write message on back. Hopefully your message will look nicer than the one above. Now just tuck the teabag/message into the teacup. Done.

super cute and perfect for mother's day!
This is adorable. I can't wait to make it!
lichee black tea?? How does that taste? :)
The lichee flavor is really subtle. It tastes more like black tea with a hint of fruit flavor.
sooo clever! You have the cleverest ideas!
Jessica, this and the teacup votice candle are both fantastic ideas!

I love this craft...beautiful!
omgosh, that is such a great idea.....too bad they don't make Jack Daniel tea bags for MY mom! LOL!
I made these for an early Mother's Day tea party today and all the ladies loved them! Thank you for the inspiration!
I have to tell you, I made this card and its *adorable*. I don't have a color printer, so I printed your pattern and traced onto a piece of cardstock that had a lovely floral print on it (picked it up at Michaels). In addition to the teabag, I also stuffed a little gift card in there--it was the perfect size. Great project!
Hi,
I just recently stumbled upon the work of Shinzi Katoh--a big zakka artist. I'd never heard of zakka either, and a Google search led me to your blog. I love it! Your crafts look easy and fun and USEFUL! Your book reviews are also nicely done.
I also blog (about books, crafts, motherhood, etc.) and I'd like to link your blog to a post I'm working on. Thanks for the great info and inspiration.
What a brilliant idea and a delightful card.
Hey (:
I love this!
Do you have a printable version of the template?
