Simon Says: Cute

Here are two cute baby treat boxes for 

the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog this week.

After I made the cute Easter mini treat boxes yesterday,

I suddenly had an idea for these baby boxes.

You can use them for a treat on a baby shower, but

also to reveal the sex of the baby, anyway lots of ideas.

So exept for the Elizabeth Craft Design gable box die,

all other stamps and thinlits (onesies) are materials

from my (not so current) Stampin'Up! stash.

Here I show you the box from all sides:

The onesies are tied to the box with some small

organza ribbon.

Thank you for looking

and have a wonderful Sunday!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 7: coffee bears

Welcome to day 7 of the 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today I have a little altered notebook for you.

Do you also like those cute mini books? I always have

one in my bag for when I have ideas. So when i noticed

this cute book in my dollar store, I knew exactly what

I was going to do. Alter it!

Last blog hop I found these cute bears on etsy HERE.

They are only $ 1,39 and very printer friendly!

I decorated the front and the back. Starting with a strip

of scrapbook paper with coffee rings. It is folded over 

towards the inside. The strip is fastened with tape to the book.

The bears are printed on white paper and cut out

with scissors. I left a tiny white border.

Inside the book on the front side a made a little pocket.

I did it the same way as the pockets of the teabagholder from yesterday, so for 

instructions go HERE. 

The pocket fits an instant coffee bag,

but also a tea bag. Hany if you are on the go.

The bears on the front have an extra layer. The heads and the

cups are cut out of a 2nd image and added with foam tape.

The cups are layered with glossy accent, The big sentiment 

was printed on the book when I bought it, but the sentiment 

in between the bears is from a clear set 

Coffee & Tea by Elizabeth Crafts.

Coffee and Mother's Day

Were you waiting for another coffee card?

This time it is one for Mother's Day.

I used again the digital stamps from

Create with TLC.

For the background I used a coffee bean stencil

from Elizabeth Craft design.

After I printed this Mother tatoo image,I thought

it would look perfect around a coffee mug.

So I cut it out and foldid it around the cup.

For the background i first used some watercolor paint

and next I used the coffee bean stencil and 

vintage photo distress ink and a blending tool.

Inside the card i used the Create with TLC sentiment,

but also a coffee stampset by

Elizabeth craft design as well as the stencil.

Yes, coffee with my Mother it will be on Sunday.

Thanks for looking and 

have a creative day!
