Coffee Lovers Gift Idea | Video Tutorial

Turtles definitely need coffee, don’t you think?! I think this little guy is happy to have some Hawaiian coffee and I’m sure you’ll make your coffee loving friends day ‘Oh, so happy’ with this nice little treat! This is a really easy treat pouch to make and you could make a bunch of them in one afternoon—maybe a Valentine’s Treat for Teachers, neighbors, and anyone else you run into that day!

SUPPLIES I USED TO MAKE THIS GIFT:

• Playing in the Rain Bundle or you can purchase the Playing in the Rain stamp set only

• Evening Evergreen and Basic White cardstocks

• Fancy Flora 6” x 6” designer series paper

• Teacup Dies

• Stylish Dies

• Stampin’ Blends: Flirty Flamingo, Soft Succulent, So saffron, Shaded Spruce

• Scissors, Stampin’ Dimensionals, scissors, glue or tear & tape adhesive, embellishments (optional)

Cutting & Assembling The Gift For Your Coffee Lover

• Evening Evergreen cardstock cut at 3-1/2” X 5-1/2” then score (on the 3-1/2” side) at 1-1/4” & 2-3/4”. Next turn the cardstock to the 5-1/2” side and score at 4-3/4”

• Cut a strip of the Fancy Flora designer paper at 1-1/4” x 4-1/2”

• Die-cut the banner and stamp your greeting on the right side of it

• Die-cut the tiny tag in white cardstock. Next, with scissors cut from the bottom of the tag to the top at a slight angle. Cut like this on both sides to form a ‘cup’ shape. Add a stripe of Shaded Spruce color to the coffee cup to mimic a Starbucks cup.

• Stamp the turtle in Memento black ink and cut him out along with cutting the flower from his hand.

• Color the Turtle with Stampin’ Blends

• Cut off the 2 corners from the 1 side (the 3-1/2”side) and miter these 2 corners—you may want to view the video for this step.

• Fold all score lines

• Apply a thin line of glue along one edge of the 5-1/2” side of the Evening Evergreen cardstock

• Fold the last flap up and glue that down (again, viewing the video will be helpful here)

• Add dimensionals on the back of the banner greeting and apply it to the paper sleeve

• Add dimensionals to the back of the turtle and place to the left of the greeting on the banner piece

• Add a glue dot to the coffee cup and place it in Turtle’s hand

• Gift this to your friend and watch them light up with a smile!

I love you a latte’,
