Starbucks Instant Coffee Cover...

Hi Paper Lovers!

Ive been busy making these little cute coffee box covers for the girls. We meet for coffee once a month on the block and we are exchanging Christmas gifts on Dec. 2 and wanted to make something that has to do with coffee.
I found the instant coffee at Starbucks and its in the perfect box. Covered the box using 2 pieces o cardstock. I used Winter Frolic Cartridge to cut out the coffee/tea cup and stickles to sparkle it up. I used a patterned piece of paper for the back ground, SU red ribbon, snow flack punch by Martha Stewart and my dear blog buddy Liz over at Liz's Paper Loft made these wonderful little tags and stamped Cool Beans on them from the Winter Wishes stamps from Scrappy Mom Stamps, for me and mailed them, how sweet is she :)
I made a gift card holder that I found a tutorial on YouTube and placed it on the back to put a gift card in to finish off their gift.

Hope you all like these, I really enjoyed making them and if you have any questions pls ask :) Thanks for looking and have a wonderful week :)
