Please note: this is an international blog hop. Due to different time zones, other blogs may not be "live" yet. If that happens, please hop on over to another blog and come visit that blog later in the day.
It is a circular blog hop, so wherever you start you will see them all.
Here's my contribution to the Coffee themed Blog Hop.
My youngest son likes drinking Ice Coffee after spending a hot day outdoors, so I made him a box for Ice coffee bars.
Ingredients:
White and light brown marbled CS for the Box
Recycled Kraft cereal package
Michael Strong's Hetty's Coffee Cup Set
Embossing ink
Bronze EP
Tim Holtz Coffee Stains stamp from the Mini Muse stamp set
StazOn ink - Timber Brown
Scor-Pal
TH scissors
Double sided foam tape
First I created the box out of white and light brown marbled CS, following Michael Strong's tutorial.
Then I used Michael Strong's Hetty's Coffee Cup Set - the coffee cup stamps (large and small).
I stamped the coffee cups on a piece of recycled Kraft cereal package and heat embossed them with bronze EP, then cut them with TH scissors and glued them 3D for extra dimension.
I stamped Tim Holtz Coffee Stains stamp inside and outside the box, using StazOn ink (Timber Brown).
I filled the box with Ice coffee bars, which are the perfect match for this box.
I hope my son will like this surprise when he comes home later today…
Well, he just saw it and he said it was COOL !!! He really loved it.

ReplyDeleteDorley, thank you for the tutorial for making this fun gift box (which you could use for storage as well!). I didn't know one could buy iced coffee bars!!
