Merry & Caffeinated

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

~ Coffee ~

Let's see some Cricut inspired Coffee projects!

*Your project must include a cut made with your Cricut machine on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I love making these fun little coffee themed caddy's at the holidays! They make the perfect little neighbor or co-worker gift and they are really easy to do. I started by cutting my caddy, from SVGCuttingFiles, using some Kraft cardstock and then covering it with some Christmas themed patterned paper. I cut an oval from Gypsy Wanderings and stamped my sentiment into the center. I popped it up onto the front of my caddy with foam tape and then added some flowers that I cut out using the Lacy Labels cartridge. I added some leaves that I cut out using a punch and some berry sprigs that I cut out using a metal die. I added some red Nuvo drops to my berry sprigs and some gems to my flower centers. I used some dies from My Creative Time to create my bow and then I added a little bell to the center before adhering it to my handle.

I love these little mini coffee cups! (I purchased mine from Amazon). I wrapped them with some coordinating patterned paper and then placed a K-Cup and a soft peppermint into each cup. I added some crochet thread around the lid, added a bell and then tied it into a bow to finish my cups. Voila! Super easy but I think it is oh so cute and everyone always seems to really love them!
