We’re big fans of tea over here…like ten different loose leaf varieties sitting on our tea shelf at any given time kind of fans. We also enjoy a good cup of joe on occasion (like when a certain little boy doesn’t sleep well!) but tea is definitely our beverage of choice.
To celebrate that century-old, elixir of the gods, I’m offering a free printable that you can cut out by hand or with a cutting machine. Because, really. Some days, a cup of tea is all I need. 🙂
Depending on your mood and your tea choice, you can change out the background to completely customize your art. I think this one looks like a Chai Tea kind of morning.
This one is definitely a fun mint Green Tea. One of my absolute favorites!
This is how I arranged the original print I made a couple years ago. By the look of it, you can tell we were on a bit of an English Breakfast kick.
So whether you’re a fan of Oolong or Matcha, x-acto knife or Silhouette, you can make this art 100% your own! Click on the links for either the pdf version (hand cutting) or Silhouette (machine) file.
So fill your cup with some nice hot tea and have a wonderful day!

Lauren @ The Thinking Closet says
Love this nifty diy project, Vanessa, though I must admit that my favorite part of this post might have been your use of the phrase “elixer of the gods.” Ha ha. That made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing all of the free files here today, too. You’re always so generous in that regard. And thanks for participating in our monthly challenge! You always post such creative and inspiring projects!
Warmly,

Well, a cookie on the side would be nice too! 🙂
Vanessa Brady says
Hah, “A cup of tea and a cookie is all I need” wouldn’t fit on the page. 😀

Crisp and Classic design – for a great phrase and beverage idea! Thanks for offering the file, also – ;-}

I agree with this sentiment. If a cup of tea won’t fix it; it must be dire indeed.
Vanessa Brady says
Indeed, it must!
Coley says
That turned out super cute!
Heather says
Adorable! Love the polka dots too! I’m a tea drinker as well – so I totally agree with that phrase!! 😀
