Tasters/Crafters Review:
I’m so happy the owner of MyGraficO is a tea drinker!
Here is one of the recent TEA RELATED Clip Art Sets she gave us to work with. I have been a fan of Designs by Cupcake Cuties for a while and haven’t worked with too many of her clip art sets yet – compared to the other Digi Stamp Sets over at MyGrafico – so I was super excited to work with this one!
MY PROJECT:
This is the outside of my project using an image from this set. I have done many of these little tea bag holder books or envelops in the past and thought this image would fit nicely on the front of another one. Not only is the set tea related but as you can see it’s Alice In Wonderland Themed!
All I did was use cardstock, various paper scraps, and I had some adhesive fabric I used on the side (the brown strip on the right with white dots). I LOVED that the clip art image already said DRINK ME. I didn’t have to any anything.
And here’s the inside of the envelop or book. It has a little pocket for an individually wrapped tea bag of your choice.
I decided to use one from Yogi Tea called Hibiscus Paradise. No real reason…it was just something I had on hand and close by.
You can also decorate the inside more but I left this one blank. You could also write on the inside if you wish. I will probably do that down the road before sending it out in a swap. It’s really easy to do these little holders and there are various templates online or you could easily come up with your own.
You will probably see many more of these from me. I enjoy making them because they are quick and easy and with all of the tea swaps I do they are fun to send to people too! It’s was even more fun to use this clip art on my project, too! It did shave off a few minutes of creating time with the sentiment already in place. I like to print up a few sheets of these to have on hand – ready to cut – at any moment! If you would like to purchase this set it’s only $4 and available HERE. You will receive all 20 clip art images pictured at the top of this review! This set is a STEAL for any TEA LOVER, Crafter, and/or Alice In Wonderland Fan!
PRODUCT REVIEW: Alice Patchwork from Tainted Sweets & MyGrafico

Artist’s Review:
When I received this Alice Patchwork set created by Tainted Sweets, I was thrilled! I love Alice in Wonderland, and this was such an adorable interpretation.
After giving it some thought, I knew just what I wanted to do! I decided to make a greeting card set with them. The graphics are large (8×8), so, I had to adjust the size on them. I used the image of the Mad Hatter, The Dormouse, and the Teapot/Teacups for a set of three.
I printed the adjusted squares onto cardstock which I then cut out. I ran my Krylon Gold Leafing pen around the edges of the square, and then I layered the square onto some coordinating scrapbook paper that I had on hand. I used some foam mounting tape for the printed images to give the card a little dimension, and added a few rhinestones to each card for some sparkle.
These were a lot of fun to make, and I really like how they turned out. I will be sending these out to some on-line Tea Friends, but, I think a full set (using all 9 images!) would make a great gift for someone special!
MyGrafico is a great website – loaded with tons of images. Check them out for your next artsy project!

Product Review from TeaEqualsBliss:
Anne and I are not only into tea and writing we are both into arts and crafts. A couple of weeks ago we were chatting about a few new features to SororiTEA Sisters and we decided to include Tea Related Art and Crafting Supplies and Outlets within our Product Reviews!
We felt there was a lack of joining the two interests – Tea and Arts/Crafts – online and on other Tea Review Sites so we decided since we try and include anything and everything TEA here at SororiTEA Sisters we would incorporate them here from time to time.
I have been a fan of the designers over at MyGraficO for quite some time! I have been and are on a few design teams and can’t get enough of their Digital Stamps, Clip Art, Digital Papers, etc. Lately I have noticed that MyGraficO has one of the better selections of Tea Related Digital Arts & Craft Components online. This made me VERY HAPPY!
As you can see from the images above I decided to make a card from this set! I make at least 3 Handmade Cards a week and I’m always looking for Tea Clipart and Digital Stamps to incorporate in my projects! I have been getting into some hybrid and altered paper projects as well and I’m sure I will blog about that down the road. There are some really neat things you can do with these sets! I have made Tea Swap Envelopes, Packages, Storage Containers, Album Title Pages, Altered Boxes and Tins, the list goes on and on!
Anyways, I hope you like my first card. And I hope you take a moment to visit MyGraficO! There are TONS of things on that site! The Designers are great and the shop owner is even a TEA FAN herself!
