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
https://www.therestaurantstore.com/items/41209 and the lids at
https://www.therestaurantstore.com/items/24592 

Rose Red card stock:
cut at 2 1/2” x 11”
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 cards at the Library…

Hello friends!

Ever have one of those days where you’re tired and you can’t focus on a darn thing?  Well, that’s me today, so the iced tea is flowing!

I’m here to share with you the handmade card that the library ladies and I made this week.

Balloon Celebrations by Scrappy Bags

This card was made using the ADORABLE Balloon Celebration stamp set and the balloon bouquet punch.  Both of these are available in the All Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up!  There are tons of possibilities for this set.  My favorite saying is Come, let us sit together and drink… your choices are coffee, champagne, and hot chocolate.  You can also add (and eat cookies) or (and eat cake).  What a great set!

I am off to be the dance chauffeur for the evening.  Have a great evening and happy crafting!  Stay warm too — it’s FREEZING here in PA!

xoxo
