Christmas Gifts: Coffee Gift Card Holders

I know we are into January but I had a couple of projects from Christmas that I didn't have a chance to share before the holidays were over. Ever since I bought the Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder from Honey Bee Stamps, I've been itching to use it! I was planning on giving my son's bus driver and one of his teachers Starbucks gift cards for Christmas, so this was the perfect opportunity to try it out. 

I've also been very into buffalo plaid during the holidays lately, so I thought it would be cute to dress the coffee cups up in that pattern. I used Papertrey Ink's Background Builder: Super Gingham set to achieve that look. I stamped the larger gingham stamp in Smokey Shadow ink onto red card stock. It only took me two impressions to cover the front of the cup, and fortunately the cup sleeve covers up any imperfections I may have had in lining them up!

Speaking of the cup sleeve, I thought the sentiment from Cup of Cheer was just perfect for a coffee gift card! The snowflakes and fun little swirls are from Quilted: Winter, and they are all embossed in white.

The lid is die cut from white card stock, and I added the smaller of the two holly leaves from the Holly Jolly die collection. The berries were added with red glitter glue.

Inside I added the gift card and a simple sentiment, also embossed in white. I think they turned out super cute! I hope the recipients liked them!

Let's Get Together: Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Today I am playing along with the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, put on by the Coffee Loving Card Makers.  Coffee and card making are two of my favorite things so it was fun to join in! My card is very clean and simple. The coffee cup and sentiment are part of PTI's Heart-2-Heart #1 mini stamp set, then I added the steam and striped straw from an old SU! set called Like it a Latte. I tied some hot pink baker's twine to the top and that is it!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!
