For my last card class, the girls made a tea box holder. I found the great instructions from this video: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/150659550010882154/ The measurements can be found on her blog at: http://cariadcards.co/2014/12/20/something-lacy-tea-bag-box/.
Measurements and scoring: Main section for box: I piece of 8″ x 3 3/4″ Whisper White
Score on the 8″ edge at: 1 1/8″, 3 3/4″, 4 7/8″, 7 1/2″
Score on the 3 3/4″ edge at: 3/4″
Box lid: 1 piece of 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
Score on the 4 3/4″ edge at: 1″ and 3 3/4″

I had to position the cute 'hello' edge stamp in the center and then stamp the other edge after!
I used the Assorted Edges $19.75 D1635 Stamp set from the SE1 book to make the pattern on the white cardstock.
I added the cute little round embellishments from the Mini-Medley Accents Rosewood Collection

My second cute card idea uses a few other items from the SE1 Book that you only have until the end of March to order from!
I was inspired to make this pop up card (which folds flat to mail!!) from: http://www.serenestamper.com/2014/07/pop-up-card.html and also from: Pop up card with video: http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2014/07/friends-happy-friday-im-running-behind.html
