Tea Party in a Book Box Tutorial with G45 Season to Celebrate & Prima The Home Baker
Happy Wonderful Wednesday, Friends! This week I’m sharing a Tea Party in a Book Box Tutorial as our Card of the Month feature. Do you remember those old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? My kids loved them, and I enjoyed them, too. The basic premise of the series was that you, the reader, got to choose from a list of options, and that choice determined the plot outcome.
This usually led to a disaster, but I promise you that today’s tutorial will only lead to crafting joy, no matter which option you choose. That’s because both projects follow the same design and measurements for the folio base. You, the crafter, get to choose which crafting adventure you want to pursue.
Sound like fun? Let’s dig in!
Option 1: Prima Marketing “The Home Baker” Tea Party in a Book Box
How sweet is this baking themed folio featuring Prima Marketing “The Home Baker?” Since our theme for the month of January is “Cozy Kitchen” I just had to use this collection again.
Our book box measures 5″ x 7″ x 1″ and is so quick and easy to make that you’ll want to create stacks of them to use with all kinds of collections.
I really can’t call this one a card, friends. Something strange happened while I was designing the base: the card turned into a folio. Oops! But I think you’ll forgive me when you see all the great features I’ve tucked inside. Like these flap pages, for instance. You’ll get to see what is hidden behind them in the video I’ve posted below.
But I will tell you that there’s another super cute pop up scene for starters. You’ll have to watch the video to see the rest.
Option 2: Graphic 45 Season to Celebrate Tea Party in a Book Box
Since I promised to create a project with Graphic 45 “Season to Celebrate” each month, I also just had to make another folio. The measurements and directions for the base are the same as Option #1. But just like our “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, the end result is slightly different.
Instead of a pop up flap, I created a kinetic waterfall. And the lift up flap is on the right instead of the left.
But don’t worry! I’ll share the measurements for both folios in the description box below the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Wow love this construction designing Kathy, the pop up along with the box adds so much more to this project. It is all those details such as tying in the mice imagery along with the timber embellishments that brings it all to life. The g45 book folio is a bright cheery contrast and just as lovely! Well done with the new ideas, many thumbs up for these 2 projects!
