I have been wanting to play with the Stampin' Up! Mini Coffee Cups and Carrier since I saw them in the holiday catalog. I finally got around to it for this weeks Fall Friday project. I love how this project turned out! You can use it for Fall or for Halloween.
I used the Banner Year stamp set for the pumpkins on the cups and the Warm Hugs for the sentiments on them. Both of the were stamped using Pumpkin Pie ink and the stems of the pumpkins were stamped with the Garden Green ink.
In this picture I want to let you know that I put 2 round embellishment containers under each of the cups. I wanted to show you how the cups looked next to the carrier. Here is a picture of them in there without the embellishment containers.
This is how it will look when you put the cups all the way to the bottom of the carrier. You can see the design a little, but not as much as the first picture.
Here is a side view of the carrier. You will see in the measurements below that I cut my Plaid Tidings designer series paper and Pumpkin Pie cardstock at 3" and 6". They are too long for the carrier, but I did that on purpose. I didn't want to have to deal with trying to figure out 1/16" of the paper. It was easier and I think it looks better. I am all for making things easier to make.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Pumpkin Pie
- cut at 4" x 9 3/4" - for the cup if you make two cups you will have to cut 2
- cut 2 at 3/4" x 6"
- cut 2 at 3/4" x 3"
Basic Black
- cut 2 at 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" - if you make two cups you will need to cut 4
- cut at 2" x 2" - if you make two cups you will need to cut 2
Whisper White
- cut 2 at 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" - if you make two cups you will need to cut 4
- cut at 2" x 2" - if you make two cups you will need to cut 2
Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper
- cut 2 at 2" x 6"
- cut 2 at 2" x 3"
Here is a close up of what the stamped images look like on the band that goes around the cups. They were pretty easy to make. You need to be patient if you are going to cover the cups. To get a template, I took a cup apart and traced it and cut it out. I then traced the cut out piece on my cardstock. I used the liquid glue to adhere it, so I had a little bit of time to move it around and make sure it was straight. The sentiments are popped up with dimensionals.
This was such a fun project to work on. I can't wait to make one for Christmas. These are going to make the perfect gift for a lot of people.
Thank you for stopping in today. Have a great weekend!
Happy Stampin and
