Blogging Friends Blog Hop.


Hello Friends!!! I am so excited for our second time around with the Blogging Friends Blog Hop. I had so much FUN checking out everyone's projects last month. I cannot believe we are already in the month of November and only a few weeks left until Christmas. This time of year is always busy for me, 2 of my sons' birthdays are in December so that adds to the craziness. The boys are just ending baseball so we will get a little break before the Christmas madness begins. And the weather is finally changing and cooler in the mornings and evenings. I can finally leave the air conditioner off the past week or so.

My little coffee cup project I am not totally satisfied with.... I love these little things so much and they make a great little gift. I made several for my craft a couple weeks ago and plan to make a few more for one that I am planning to do in a couple weeks. I  made the mistake of not purchasing the  Into the Woods DSP. I am really wishing I had but as a small time demo {that's what I call myself} I really have to pick and choose what I decide to purchase as my budget is super small. I knew what project I wanted to do but had to work with what I had.

I LOVE love the stamp set Among the Branches! I am thinking this card we will make at card class this month.I love the embossing folder Woodland. I like using a Q-tip to get a little color on the trees. 









 This will be your box. 


After you snip on the score lines, snip off the corners. 

Your DSP measurements for the outside of the box are: 
(2) 1 1/4X4 3/4
(2) 1 1/4X1 3/4
Cover with DSP and decorate as you wish. 

This will be your handle. Fold in half on the score line and adhere together.

 Use a circle punch {I used a one inch circle punch}. then adhere the handle to the middle of the box. 

Fold you little corners you snipped off in half and use these for support on your handle so it doesn't wiggle around as much. 


Here are the links for the cups and lids. You can get 50 of them for under $20 with tax and shipping.

Please let me know if you any questions about my instructions.
