MINI COFFEE CUP TREAT

Hello friends!  Today I have a cute little mini coffee cup treat to share with you. I must give credit to Erica Cerwin, a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, for sharing this on her blog Pink Buckaroo Designs.   I’ve handed these out to all of my Valentine’s Day stamp class attendees.  Aren’t they adorable?  I’ve added the tutorial for you below!

Coffee Cup Treat Valentine's Day

Supplies needed:
Solid color card stock (Rose Red from Stampin’ Up!)
Patterned card stock (Love Blossoms DSP from Stampin’ Up!)
Mini 4 oz. coffee cups and lids
Sweetheart punch (Stampin’ Up!)
1 3/4” scalloped circle punch
1” circle punch
TomBow liquid glue
Adhesive of your choice

Note: You can purchase the 4 oz. mini coffee cups online at

Rose Red card stock:

score at 4 1/2, 7, 7 3/4 and 10 1/4

Coffee Cup Treat Valentine's Day

Punch a 2” circle as shown below.

Next, fold at all of the score lines and then add adhesive to the end section and fold up to attach and make in to the cup holder.

Love Blossoms Paper:
cut one piece at 1/2” x 2 1/4

cut one piece at 3 1/2” x 2 1/4”

trace cup template for outside of cup (the best way to make a template for the cup is to take one of the cups apart carefully and then use that for your template.

You will adhere the smaller piece of Love Blossoms card stock to the front of the cup holder and the larger piece to the back of the cup holder (see picture above).
Using the template that you made from one of the cups, trace and cut out a piece of the Love Blossoms paper.  Attach this to the outside of the cup using TomBow liquid glue.  I found that the liquid glue worked the best for me.

Next decorate the top of the lid as you wish. This is what I did:
I punched a 1 3/4” scalloped circle in the solid card stock and 1” circle in the patterned card stock.

I also punched two hearts in coordinating colors using the sweetheart punch from Stampin’ Up! I also made two flags in coordinating colors and stamped yum on the one flag.

I filled my special little cups with Hershey kisses!  Hope you enjoy!

Handmade Card for Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day card - Stampin' Up!

It’s time to get busy working on our special Valentine’s Day cards.  Do you exchange Valentine’s with your love bugs?  Here is a quick and simple card that I made this week.

This card uses the sentiment from the Bloomin’ Love set stamped in crumb cake ink and the background images are from the Awesomely Artistic set stamped in blushing bride ink.   I used blushing bride and whisper white card stock along with the Love Blossoms DSP.  The accessories that I used were the heart punch and the banner punch.  Bow is tied with the linen thread.

I have a lot more Valentine’s Day cards to make, so stay tuned.  I will share some more this week!  Happy crafting!

xoxo
