Hard to believe that December is nearly here! My internal alarm is pinging me to get into high gear about my Christmas mailing. (I always make a promise to myself to finish before Dec 1 but that never happens). As you know, I tend to go one step further with my cards than most. Along with the greeting I send a little surprise. Last year it was screen printed tea towels, the year before retro bookplates - you get the idea. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the holidays.
I'm working on this years mailing now but in a fit of procrastination I worked up a freebie download for you to use (should you want to send out a little extra surprise to your friends and family this year).

Its a little self mailer just big enough to staple two bags of peppermint tea inside along with your personal greetings. Just seal with glue and drop in the mail. (In case you are wondering, peppermint tea smells just like Christmas!)
Hope some of you can put it to good use. If you use my freeibe or you have your own unique twist on the holiday mailing idea, I would absolutely love to hear from you. Don't be shy - leave a comment here or drop me a line.
What a great idea. I love the style of the writing.
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered some medication for colds and flu that tastes JUST like mulled wine. I have to say I almost look forward to having a snuffle so I can take one.....
Maybe I should mail those out this Christmas!!

I love that idea! Last year I made pretty peppermint hot chocolate packets with a candycane stirrer. They were a hit.

You really do send the best cards! Can you please add me to your list? :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful :) I've already sent out my Christmas cards this year but after seeing this I believe I will be sending out little surprises next year! What a great way to send holiday cheer :)
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome idea! You are so clever, I'm a fan!
ReplyDeleteYou are so wonderful for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet...and pepperminty! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThankful for your blog this early Thanksgiving morn!
You never cease to amaze me with your creativeness...this is one gorgeous idea....xv
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, thanks for sharing. You can always add a honey or agave stick in this card. That is a nice "BONUS" to the card.
ReplyDeleteInspired by Design...
I wish I had your talent!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! And giving the gift of Christmas scent is so nice.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!

ReplyDeleteI love this! Totally using it! :) Now do you mail these in the USPS? How much extra is the postage?
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!

Darling! I am going to make these!
ReplyDeleteow - thanks for sharing! hope you had a great thanksgiving weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever and such a great idea! I have a lot of friends who love tea and I know they would be thrilled to receive a little note with an added gift inside. I also love how fragrant the tea will make the card. Genius!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness- what a FABULOUS idea! Thank you so much for sharing! I am really hoping to send a few of these out :) Thanks again!!
ReplyDeleteSO cute. You have the best ideas, I swear!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I look forward to your Holiday Mailing like a kid waiting for Santa! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved last year's tea towel mailing and you didn't disappoint this year as well. Love the time & effort you put into your cards.
This is beautiful, thank you so much for giving it away! It's a great idea, so simple and sweet!
ReplyDeleteseriously. adorable.
ReplyDeleteI fell head over heels for your mailer and sent it out this year. I've received so many compliments so I had to tribute your fabulous idea on my blog this week http://wp.me/pNXPF-e1.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generosity to share ... it really made people's day coming home to find these little festive cards.
I posted my idea for Christmas tea on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had found your blog earlier!
How nice of you to share the this with everyone.
I'm going to use your template for my Xmas cards next year:-)
this is lovely, thank you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteso beautiful, thank you ♥
ReplyDeleteWhere would be a good place to print these on quality paper? Office Max?
ReplyDeleteYou could print it at home like I did.
ReplyDeleteOh I really like this too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice, thanks for sharing, I am dropping in the mail to my 2 BFF that I won't see this holiday season! thanks
ReplyDeleteI just tried to get these printed at FedEx Office and the employee told me USPS won't send this since it's a tri-fold with no sides. Is this true? I already bought 60 tea bags! I think I will take a sample card to USPS to see if they'll send it.
ReplyDeleteI've never hear of that but if they really won't I would just add a bit of glue or tape to close up the edge. Provided you pay the correct postage, the post office seems to mail just about anything as far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the quick reply! That's what I figured, as well. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the template - I love this design!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this freebie. I'm bundling these together with tea towels using baker's twine as gifts for my neighbours. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and I love the font! Are you able to tell me which font you used to write "just add hot water"?
