Delicate Pines Coffee Cup Carriers

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

We are waking up here in south central Pennsylvania this morning with temps in the 20's! I could tell it was cold before my even crawled out of bed. I am typing this while sitting under my electric blanket this morning. Burrrr! 

Yesterday was a success with my Stamp Day w/Friends get together! I had all the Christmas lights on, had my Yankee Candle Holiday Bayberry candle burning and some Christmas music playing softly in the background. It all helped set the mood for making our Christmas cards! I look forward to this every year! We made 4 Christmas cards which I will share as soon as I get pictures of them! But today I have another sweet treat to share with you!

I love making these Coffee Cup Carriers and recently I had a friend gift me with all her stamping stuff because she had not stamped in years. She gave me a whole sleeve of those mini coffee cups that were all the rage a few years ago so I made my carriers with them.

Project Details:

Stamps: Delicate Pines (Online Exclusives), Hero Arts (sentiment)

Ink: Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Delicate Pines Dies (Online Exclusives), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Wide Oval Punch (retired), Iridescent Ribbon (retired), Iridescent Rhinestones (retired), Traditions Sparkle Sequins, Shaded Spruce/Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Gold Mesh Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have not made these cup carriers in many years for Christmas so I'm not sure how they will sell. If I have any left I may gift them to some people at Kelsey's work when we go in to eat. These are so fun to create and always make for a nice little gift. It is very sturdy and that cup will not fall out as it's pretty snug inside the holder. You can always tuck in some money or a gift card to each holder as well so it can serve a double duty for that hard to buy person. I love these and will have more to share with you soon!

Coffee Cup Carriers

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Going to be a warm, sunny day ahead! YAY! 

Yesterday was a beautiful day, too! 

We took Miss Bailee out for a walk as we soaked up the warmth of the sunshine!

I have a sweet project to share with you today!

I found a bunch of the small coffee cups in my stash recently and decided to take some Floral Delight DSP and create a treat for some customers & friends. Of course, Audrey got one when I delivered her order last week and she loved it, especially the Dove Milk Chocolate & Caramel candies inside the cup!

Project Details:

Stamps: Inkadinkadoo 

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Basic White, Floral Delight DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Beautiful Butterflies Dies, Low Profile Dots (Online Exclusives), Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I enjoyed making these since it's been quite awhile.

I think it's the Floral Delight paper that makes me love these even more but i'm sure the candy sweetens the deal!

3D Challenge w/ Vicki

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's Halloween today and time for another 3D Challenge with my friend, Vicki!

Every other Saturday we make something other than a card and share it on our blogs.

We've been doing this now since the beginning of September and I have enjoyed it, alot!

My 3D project this week I made a few weeks ago as a treat holder for Kelsey!

I already sent her a card for Halloween but since she has to work all day today I am going to take it to her apartment and leave at her door so when she comes home from work she will find it waiting on her.

I think she will love it!

I used a Stampin Up Coffee Cup Carrier and decorated it with Halloween Paper using the Magic In This Night DSP. The bats are diecut with the Halloween Magic Dies directly from the one DSP print.

I added black shred paper in the bottom of the box then added a bag of candy & a decorated coffee cup that I placed a Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K Cup inside for her to make. 

I tore apart a coffee cup and created a template with it so I could wrap DSP around them! 

Worked like a charm!

I used stamps from the Ghoulish Goodies set as well as the Hallows Night Magic set.

I diecut some bats from the smaller bat dies with the new Black Glimmer Paper!

That paper is awesome! Not thick at all and the glitter does not come off!

Anyways, I decorated everything with some Black Glimmer Paper Bats and attached tags on the cup and bag of candy. I used the Black Glittered Ribbon for this project as well as that amazing Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon! Lastly, I added some Iridescent Pearls and called it done!

Project Details:

Stamps: Ghoulish Goodies, Hallows Night Magic

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Black Glimmer Paper, Magic In This Night DSP

Accessories: Halloween Magic Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Coffee Cup Carrier, Coffee Cup, Cello Bag, Black Glittered Ribbon, Sillver Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have had these Coffee Cup Carriers since July and back during the summer I started decorating them for Christmas! Yesterday I was out shopping and bought all kinds of goodies to put in them this holiday season!

 I will share them once Thanksgiving is over so stay tuned!

These carriers are $5 for 8 of them and they are SO much fun to decorate!

Now pop on over to Vicki's blog to see her amazing 3D project!

I've seen it and it's really cool!!!

Coffee Cafe Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Friday!

Today I have a treat to share that I whipped up with the Coffee Cafe bundle.

You know I love making the Coffee Cup Carriers!

This bundle is one of the best that I have seen with several different coffee stamps, the dies that cut them out and the beautiful patterned paper! Since I am a coffee drinker, this set was worth every cent to me!

While at Walmart last weekend I found these Werther's Original Caramel Coffee Candies, perfect to fill my small coffee cup with. I have to say that these candies are addicting, too! YUM!

My tag was created with the Wide Oval Punch that I used to punch the handle out. I diecut a small coffee cup from a sheet of the Coffee Break DSP Pack and added it to my tag. The sentiment came from the Pocketfull of Sunshine stamp set. I added a small clear rhinestone to the heart on the small coffee cup. The tag was added to the holder with a Gold Clip. My bow is Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon that I added with a glue dot to my clip.

Such a fun set!

I just wanna sit and make lots more of these!!

Coffee Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Monday!

The start of another week! Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Today I am sharing one of the Coffee Cup Carriers I made for Christmas. I made quite a few of these and sent to the craft show. They were a huge hit for Easter & Halloween and i'm finding out now that they were a huge hit for Christmas too! I am working on more as they all sold for the first weekend on the show! This weekend is the last weekend of the craft show. My friend, Pam, who runs the craft show is closing her doors and going into retirement. I have been participating in her craft shows for 14 years and for the most part I have always done well there! While I am sad to see it end...I too am looking forward to having more time to enjoy the holidays! I'm always so rushed and I feel like I can never really enjoy it. Next year will be a whole new ballgame for me but like I told Pam....i'm ready!

So here is one of my Coffee Cup Carriers. I will share more as the month goes on....

Like I have said before, these carriers & cups are fun to make and quite easy too!
