Starbucks Inspired Mini Coffee Cups

Hello friends! I hope you all had a productive last weekend before Christmas! I had a GREAT Project Life Club night on Friday, an awesome kid's craft class on Saturday, and a fun day of decorating the Christmas tree with my hubby on Sunday. Action packed, but oh so fun! 

I rarely share projects on my blog that use supplies that are no longer available, but these cute little Starbucks inspired mini coffee cups were just too adorable to keep to myself.
I sold a TON of these at my Christmas craft fairs. They had a K-cup in one, and mints in the other. A fab little teacher or co-worker gift. 

So that stamp set is retired, but you could use any number of stamp sets to make these. I had some with the 'Joy' stamp from the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 stamp set in the green circle. They looked great too! 
You're also going to want to order a bunch of the Corrugated Paper to make the little coffee sleeves. They really are the perfect touch. 

And, because I know EVERYONE is going to ask: 

To make the little coffee caddy:
  1. Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to 4" x 6 ¾"
  2. Score all sides at 1"
  3. Assemble into small tray
  4. For the handle, cut a piece of Kraft cardstock 1 ⅞" x 11"
  5. Score at 1 ½", 5 ½" & 9 ½"
  6. Punch oval or circle through middle 
  7. Glue two ends into bottom tray of coffee caddy
I know that these dimensions came from somewhere, but I've had them written on a scrap paper for two years so there's no telling where I saw them first. Regardless, I hope they help you create your own little coffee caddy. 

Only 4 sleeps til Christmas. Are you ready?! 

Happy Stampin'

    1. Hi Allison! Crazy question but how did you cut out the corrugated paper? Was a straight strip, curved? What were the dimensions? Thanks Allison for the inspiration :-)

    2. Hi Nicole!
      Thanks so much for stopping by! The Corrugate Paper is a curved strip. I actually cut one of the coffee cups apart and then used part of it as a template. I hope that helps!
