A Little Latte K-Cup Caddy for the New At SU Blog Hop-Not A Card!




Hey Y'all!
Welcome to my blog! I am excited to hop today with the New At SU! Blog Hop Team, a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing our love of papercrafting! This month's hop features projects that are Not A Card using products from the January-April Mini Catalog or new Online Exclusives.


I created this K-cup caddy using the A Little Latte Suite, one of the choices in the newly added Online Exclusive products. 


The caddy was CASE'd from a design by Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs from a couple of years ago. It is so stinkin' cute, and I knew I wanted to make one with this suite of products.


The caddy holds 2 K-cups, and would make a great gift for teachers, coworkers, or any coffee lover in your life. I decorated mine with DSP and ribbon from the A Little Latte suite. I stamped the circle images from the stamp set that look like the top of a cup of coffee onto Very Vanilla, then layered them onto a die cut circle in Early Espresso and adhered them to the top of the K-cups. For the label, I used one of the Nested Essential Dies to stamp my sentiment and coffee bean image, and adhered 2 of the espresso cup die cuts cropped from a sheet of the DSP.

Here are the measurements for the caddy:
  • 2 pieces of Cardstock (I used Lemon Lolly) 6 x 6-1/2, score both pieces on the long side at 4 & 6, score short side at 2 & 4. Rotate back to the long side, and score at 2 only to the first score line. (see photo below to see how to score, cut, and adhere them together) 
  • Use a 1" circle punch to punch a hole for the handle
  • DSP-3-3/4 x 1-3/4 (2), 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 (2)

St. Patrick's Day Fun



Hey Y'all!

I have some fun projects today to share with you for St. Patrick's Day. If you know me, you know I love gnomes. We had some cute gnome stamp sets that have retired, and I was so sad!! But my team member Pat Gapen showed me how to create one with punch art!


Isn't he cute! I used the Country Bouquet, Bee Builder, and Truck Builder punches. I also used the 2-3/8 Circle Punch that coordinates with the Circle Sayings Stamp Set. It is still available as a bundle until April 30 when the Annual Catalog retires. 


To create the hat, I used my Shaded Spruce Blends to draw stripes on a scrap of Basic White, then punched it with the Bee Builder punch. The large heart from the Country Bouquet punch is what created the beard. I chose Cajun Craze because you know Irish gnomes are going to have red hair! I added some squiggly lines with my Cajun Craze Blends to make it look like a beard. The circle from the Truck Builder punch, an Online Exclusive, punched in Petal Pink, is the nose. You could also use a 1/2" Circle.


I embossed a layer of Shaded Spruce CS with the Crosshatch Embossing Folder (it is part of the Basics Embossing Folders in the Online Exclusives.) Since gnomes make me smile, I chose the sentiment "Sending You A Smile." Of course, you have to add a shamrock to a St. Patrick's Day project! You can use 3 hearts to make one, and the small heart from the Bee Builder punch was perfect. Just cut a strip from your scrap for the stem. Some gold sequins and Wink of Stella on the shamrock and hat added the finishing touch.


I used the Envelope Treat Boxes to make a treat holder to match the card. You can see how I created it here on my FB live video.




So what do you think of the Punch Art Gnome? I had so much fun creating these, and I hope I inspired you. Thanks again to my friend Pat for inspiring me!
