Hi friends! How's your week going? I hope it's been a good one so far! It's been a HOT one here in Sactown so I'm staying inside, in the craft room, with the fan blowing right on me! LOL. Oh, and I'm drinking lots of iced coffees!! That's my theme for today – coffee!! It's my day to post over on the Doodlebug Blog, and you know I always share my project here too. For this assignment we were able to use any collection of our choice, so I chose the super fun Cream & Sugar Collection that was released a few years ago. Our assignment was to feature one of our favorite products from Doodlebug. You know what I chose, right?? GINGHAM!! If you've been following along with me for any period of time, you know that my go-to favorite paper is gingham!! I have about 8 packs of the Doodlebug Gingham in my stash!! It's a perfect neutral that gives a bit of texture, and it comes in a million colors. It's the perfect crafting supply!!
I've been hoarding the Cream and Sugar collection, so today is a good time to use some, and share some projects with you! Cheers! Do you like your coffee hot or iced? I like both! LOL. Coffee is my love language….and coffee themed crafting makes me happy.
I combined the Doodlebug papers with two of my favorite dies from Honey Bee Stamps (all the supply links are at the bottom of my post) to make two coffee shaped cards! One is hot, and one is iced. The die cuts make is super easy to make these giant coffee cups!! Perfect! My color scheme is taken from the patterned papers: Blue, brown and hot pink! Here are my two cards…. They both fold open so you can write a message inside and/or attach a gift card. And, they both fit into an A2 envelope!
You're brew-tiful! I mean it! How adorable is that coffee cup?? I used the gingham in three places on this card! Brown, pink and white!! See how it becomes a neutral? I die cut the die with the blue coffee cup paper. It's a long die, so you will need your long cutting plates to go through your die cutting machine.
More gingham here…. And a close up of the top of my iced coffee with sprinkles!
The Doodlebug Gingham comes in 12×12 and 6×6 packs!
The brown coffee sleeve part slides off and then you can open the card. Here it is in my hand so you can see the size – the size of an A2 card!
Here is the card opened up… I love that the paper has coffee beans on the back!! I will attach a gift card on that top part and write my note on the white liner part. Great way to give a coffee gift!!
I used a donut sticker for the iced coffee card! This one folds open from the bottom!
These cards make me happy! I hope I've made you smile too!! Cheers! I wish we could all have a cup of coffee together right now! XOXO
Thanks for stopping by today for a cup of cheer! Be sure to head over to the Doodlebug Blog to leave some love and get some more inspiration from the design team! My next Doodlebug project will be a 4th of July theme. I'm waiting for my supplies to arrive and I can't wait to get started! I will see you soon!

Hi Wanda!! I LOVE the coffee cup cards!! I too love all coffee stuff and Doodlebug!! I do have the Cream and Sugar papers.
I need to know though, did you use a die to cut the coffee cups/cups out or just free hand it?
Please let me know as I would love to make some of these for some coffee friends.
Thank you Wanda!!
Hi Syd! I used Die Cuts to make the coffee cup shapes! All the supplies and links are in my supply list at the bottom of my post. Happy Crafting! XO
