It is nooooo secret that I looooove my cocoa and coffee! When our Perfect Blend stamp set (#131392) came to life, I just knew it'd be mine... mine I say!! (Ok, so maybe too much coffee today? lol)
I created this gift tag to top my Chocolate Mint Covered Espresso Beans... a gift I created for my stamping sisters in the Antelope Valley.

Mariacristina had asked me, when we were at Convention, how to make these oval bows... so I couldn't resist including them in my gift to her and the gang!
Stamping with BLEACH - yes, bleach, creates a cool look. Here on Early Espresso card stock (#119686) this travel cup creates such a cool look. We have this new gentle and eco-friendly bleach and I was worried.. would it work?!?!
It maybe a little softer than the harsher bleach but it didn't give me a bad headache and it did work.

These bows are my new favorite thing!
Using Ovals! Yes... Ovals....
OK so PUNCH with Punches (here I used the Scallop Oval punch #119856 and the Small Oval punch #120908) or the new Ovals Collection Framelits (#129381) and Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439) to create layered ovals for a bow.
What you do is use adhesive (here I used Hot Glue) and you fold the oval in half. So there are two scalloped ovals on the bottom and two of the small ovals and hot glued them (very, very carefully) over the Travel Mug.

For my dear friends, Susy (my upline) and Sarah (my downline) I created these little jars of Chocolate Mint Espresso Beans! Adding cute accessories like our 1-1/4" and 7/8" Scallop Circle Punches (#127811 and #129404), tying in the Espresso Theme with our Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (#126871).
Early Espresso Baker's Twine (#123124)... all easily coordinated. Our Neutrals Designer Series Paper (#130132) for amazing patterned papers in all of your favorite colors - the whole color family and available in each color family/collection!!
Don't you just LOVE how perfectly coordinated papers, accessories, inks... it's easier than ever to create amazing crafting projects and gifts!
All tied up, buttoned up with an adhesive backed Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247)... it's a dash of luxury to a sweet gift tag!
