Mini Coffee Cup & Gift Card Holder

Today’s project is mini coffee cup & gift card holder for Halloween!

I followed Dawn Griffith’s tutorial and had so much fun putting it together! This project features the Spooky Cat stamp set and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper. It’s designed to hold a gift card in the back “Happy Halloween” belly band – how awesome is that! Talk about a special treat for someone!

I ordered these mini coffee cups from Webstaurantstore.com. The cups and the lids are sold separately and in different quantities – cups are sold in quantities of 50 and the lids are sold in quantities of 100! Here are links to each: Mini Coffee Cups, Mini Coffee Cup Lids. They’re pretty inexpensive, so why not?

I’ve included the measurements below for you, which are largely the same as Dawn Griffith’s, but I did change the circle punches I used for the coffee cup lid. I wanted to hide the hole in the lid – a 2″ circle covers it and I just adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I continued to nest smaller circles on top (see supplies list below).

For the mini coffee cup wrapper, I found a cut file (SVG) from Randi’s Crafty Creations to use with my Silhouette. There are other pieces/parts included in that cut file, but you should be able to ungroup everything and remove the parts you don’t need and just cut the wrapper. Otherwise, you can just take apart one of the coffee cups to create a template to use!

QUICK TIP: To line up the 2″ circle punch where you want it, punch a 2″ circle out of scrap paper and adhere it where you want to punch the 2″ circle on your project. Then line up your punch over that scrap piece of paper for a perfect punch-out!

I hope you’ll try making some these – they’re  so fun! Have a wonderful & blessed weekend!

Merry Café Card with Gift Card Pocket

If you are looking for last night’s Facebook Live video, you can find it HERE!

Today’s project is a quick and easy card with a gift card pocket featuring the Merry Café stamp set!

This project is very similar to THIS project that I shared previously, just with slightly different measurements. This card was also largely inspired by the Merry Café sample in the Holiday Catalog:

Our catalogs are one of my favorite places to go for inspiration! Doesn’t this card make you want to go out and buy a pumpkin spice latte? It’s a perfect way to give someone a Starbucks card to show your appreciation for them. Here’s what the inside looks like:

If you have any questions about this card, let me know! I’ll include all the measurements below so you can recreate it. I didn’t create another video because the basics of this card are so similar to my previous card like this (which already has a video) – the dimensions are just slightly different.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Measurements:
  • Early Espresso card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored along the long side at 5-1/2″ and 9″
  • Cajun Craze layers:
    • 3-1/4″ x 4″
    • 5-1/4″ x 4″
    • 3″ x 1″ (strip for behind coffee cup)
  • Very Vanilla layer (inside) – 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Painted Autumn DSP layers:
    • 3″ x 3-3/4″
    • 1-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
    • 2″ x 1-1/2″ (for layer behind sentiment – glue sentiment to DSP and then fussy cut sides)

Tricked Out Treats – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop!  Today’s Tricked Out Treats Blog Hop is filled with spooky, fun projects for Halloween.  We are excited to share our creations with you today and hope these projects inspire you.  After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My project for today’s blog hop is this super fun Ferrero Rocher tote all dressed up for Halloween!

Here’s a different angle:

There’s a little handle created with the 1″ circle punch and it holds 2 Ferrero Rochers – how cute it that?! I found a similar project while browsing Pinterest from a fellow German demonstrator (Bastelbine is the name of the blog, but it seems to be no longer active) and I decided to convert the measurements and give it a try!

Don’t the rhinestones make the o’s look like eyes? Not sure if that was the intention of that sentiment, but, if not, it’s a happy accident!

Here’s my Facebook Live video tutorial:

Here’s the template I shared:

MEASUREMENTS:
  • Basic Black treat holder base – 4-1/4″ x 9-3/4″
    • Scored along the 9-3/4″ side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-7/8″, 7″ and 8-3/8″
    • Scored along the 4-1/4″ side at 1-3/8″ and 2-7/8″ and also scored at 7/8″ and 3-3/8″, but only down to the 2-3/4″ horizontal score line on both the top and the bottom
  • Spooky Night DSP (2 pieces) – 2″ x 2-5/8″
    • Make tick marks along the 2″ side at 1-1/4″ (both sides)
    • Make a tick mark along the 2-5/8″ at 1-5/16″ on the side closest to the 1-1/4″ tick mark
    • Cut diagonally from the 1-5/16″ mark to the 1-1/4″ mark (see video for more details)

Thank you for hopping along with us! I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Lisa Pretto at Ink Big Academy Stamps. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Painted Harvest Holiday Wreath Mini Card

Today’s card is a mini 3×3 card that features the Painted Harvest stamp set used to create a holiday wreath!

What a clever way to use this stamp set! I love finding new ways to use a stamp set, and when I saw this idea on Pinterest, I had to try it – in mini format of course! You know me and my love for minis (smile).

We made a trio of this card at my class last night – so fun! I had 10 beautiful ladies attend class and we had so much fun creating together! This is the first time I had that many people at once – I loved every minute of it! Here’s my setup:

I had cut all of the cardstock for each person to make 3 cards each and then I realized I used Cherry Cobbler – oops – I meant to use Real Red to match the ribbon we used! I think it works though!

The sentiment ‘Joy’ comes from Cheers to the year and it’s embossed in gold. This is a quick & easy card that would be perfect as a gift enclosure or to give out as a random act of kindness for the holidays.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop! Have a wonderful & blessed day!

Measurements:
  • Cherry Cobbler card base – 3″ x 6″, scored and folded at 3″ (or folded in half)
  • Garden Green layer – 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″
  • Whisper White layer (front) – 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
  • Whisper White layer (inside) – 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″

Pillow Box Gift Card Holder

Today’s project is a pillow box gift card holder created with the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies!

This project went together very quickly, because the die I used to create this pillow box cuts and scores the paper for you! There are a few parts of paper to remove to put it together, but it’s still quick and easy – and a great way to give a gift card to someone – for any occasion!

This project is glammed up in gold with a few different elements:

  • I cut the pillow box pieces out of the gold checkered pattern from Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Gold Faceted Gems on either side of the sentiment add another element of bling
  • I cut up a Gold Foil Snowflake into fourths and adhered 2 of the pieces behind the top and bottom of the sentiment
  • I wrapped the box with Gold 1/8″ Ribbon

The sentiment comes from Merry Little Labels and is bundled with the Everyday Label Punch at a 10% discount! It’s one of my favorite bundles in the Holiday Catalog. The Everyday Label Punch is a workhorse, because you can do some really cool things with it by layering it (like my project for today) or punching it more than once from the same piece to get different sizes/shapes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I am honored to inspire you. Have a wonderful & blessed day!
