Coffee Gift Tote

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday to you – I hope you’re having a great week with some beautiful weather! I’m back this morning with another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! This Coffee Gift Tote was seriously fun; I made my own patterned paper for the tote and I made the earrings!

I stamped a coffee bean from the Taylored Expressions Joe To-Go stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink randomly over a square piece of CutCardStock Twine cardstock. I used my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board and Stampin’ Up! 1″ circle punch to create the gift tote which I embellished with a coffee cup popped up on 3D foam circles. I created a card to go in the tote with a sentiment stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, layered on Twine and another Baronial Ivory cardstock panel. To make the earrings, I stamped the coffee cup and coffee bean twice in Ranger ground espresso archival ink on Grafix Shrink Film and colored the lids with an ultra fine pink Sharpie marker. I punched holes with my Stampin’ Up 1/16″ circle punch and cut them with the coordinating TE die. I used my Milwaukee heat tool to shrink them, and added earring wires and rings and TE rubber earring backs.

Here are a couple additional shots of the gift tote. I created a closure with a Funkie Junkie Boutique tiny clothespin embellished with a bow fashioned from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.
