Fancy a Cup?

Happy Hump Day!

I'm so excited about my blog post today.


I love when projects come together easily and that's what happened when I started using these new digital image stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I received a set of coffee related ones (I happen to looove coffee!) and I got to thinking about creating gift giving items for the holiday season.


The shape of this coffee sampler from my pantry, reminded me of the 2-5-7-10 Treat Boxes I have been making for my craft fair,



and these images are exactly what this gift needed. (The 2-5-7-10 numbers refer to where the paper is scored to create the box itself.) The coffee fits inside perfectly!

I adore this polka dot mug with the sparkly steam!

Now, what about that gift card in the first photo? Well, I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this week to create the layout, and another darling image and sentiment from the Coffee Talk set. However, I can't just put the gift card inside loose... (especially when the recipient knows I am a card maker!)

So, inside I made a pop up pocket! How cool is that?

I found these digi-stamps so fun to work with because you can adjust the size of the image to your card or 3-D item. I love the cute cream and sugar bowl...which of course just called out for some bling! LOL. The open lines make it easy to color these images and tailor them to a specific individual, project, or holiday. Fun!

I would be thrilled to receive this for Christmas! Don't get me wrong, I love "stuff", my house proves it, but I am to the point of really appreciating a consumable item.

Add a hug, kiss and "I love you" along with this, and it's pretty much the perfect gift!
