Hey crafters. It's time for the 2026 Fall/Winter Blog Hop at Coffee Loving Papercrafters! Anyone can link up a newly created card, layout or gift project and be entered to win a crafty prize! Catherine Pooler Designs is a super sponsor so I thought I would share a project that features several CPD products. I've been a fan of Coffee Loving Papercrafters since it's inception and was on their design team for awhile. Amy Tsuruta and her team really work hard to put these hops together and we are all so grateful for their hard work!
I'm also veering from my usual card by sharing a gift project today. Scroll down for details!

If you follow me on social media, then you know I love crafting and tea, my two big loves. I've had the Catherine Pooler Designs Peek-A-Boo Treat Box dies in my stash for a couple months and I thought this would be a perfect time to break them in.
Initially, I was going to fill these treat boxes with some kind of Fall candy. But when I finished my first die cut and started to assemble it, I realized it was the perfect size to fit a couple tea bags inside.
So, what did I do? I went to Walmart, haha. Unfortunately, most of my tea supply is loose leaf or tea bags that aren't individually wrapped. I absolutely love Chai, so I snagged the Twinings box of Chai for under $5.00. I checked Amazon and it's $4.16 right now if you like shopping there. Oh look, here's an Amazon affiliate link for you, imagine that 😆!
In the photo above, you can see my first die cut box that's ready to assemble. I would recommend using paper from a 6x8 inch or larger paper pad or scrapbook paper when using this die. The papers I used are actually discontinued, but I liked how they fit my theme. And hey, it's always good to use up your stash, right?
The stamp set that I used to create my elements and sentiment are from the Catherine Pooler Designs Flavors of Fall stamp set. The CPD inks I used were Mandarin Spice, Macchiato, Amber, Eucalyptus and then S'mores for my sentiment.
I also added a little embellishment to my cup above that includes that tiny little dark blue enamel dot. Also, my sentiment was stamped onto CPD Over Coffee cardstock. I love how the dark S'mores ink looks against it.
I was really happy with how this turned out and now I want to make little party favors for Christmas too! Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you hop along for this blog hop!
