Asian Starbuck Coffee Cup

As mentioned in the previous post, this is part of the Asian Marci Tissue Box Holder gift for Eunice - her blog here. Another Coffee Cup was previously posted November 14, 2014 and Monday (Cherry Blossom Coffee Cup) on April 7, 2014. This project is from one of my very favorite company's: SVGcuts.com. The collection called Good Day at the Office Kit found here. The finished Coffee treat cup size: 7" tall x 3-3/4". Paper used is My Little Shoebox  Cherry Delight - Happy Times (paper is from 2012), Cream Card stock for all the lids, Chocolate Brown is used for the sleeve.

See how cool personalized coffee treat cups can be?.................the personalized portion is a FREE SVG cut from SVGcutting.com when they had Candice's Birthday Blog Hop a while back - see the original posting here..  The removable sleeve (is from the Good Day at the Office Kit from SVGcuts.com).  I was able to ungroup the original file and add any letters I needed for the personalization - cool, eh? Unfortunately, I was not happy with the way the Starbuck's logo cut so I ended up doing a search and printing out the logo which looks much nicer.

Here's a closer look at the personalized sleeve:

Treats of stamped Rolos candy inside - it does hold a whole bunch..........

Stamps are from Jaded Blossom - Kawaii Treats.  They are so happy and cute food stamps punched out using a 3/4" circle punch.  You can see them more clear here:

Asian Marci Tissue Box Holder

Inspiration for this project is from the 3rd Annual La-la Land Craft Retreat held in November 2015.  The retreat project is posted here on my blog January 18, 2016 Winter Princess Marci Tissue Box. This special Asian Marci Tissue Box holder was made for a very belated birthday gift for a special friend (Eunice - her blog here) who has patiently waited for it. I know she will love it. I did enjoy putting it together for her. Each section has solid Core-Dinations Gemstones Pink Diamond as the base.  Mats are using My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight - Serenade (retired).  The Jaded Blossom Stitched Circles is on each side of the box. Finished holder size is: 5" x 5" x 5-3/8" and will fit over the square tissue boxes. Note this project is not chipboard, it is made of specialty paper board that was only available through La-la Land Crafts. Unfortunately, these project kits are no longer being offered in the store. All other LLC stamps and dies used can be found here. There is a cool coffee cup to go with this "set", too.

LLC Retreat: Pocket Purse Album

This is Project #28 for Day 3 of the LLC Retreat: This is a mini album designed by Sue Kohler. Her blog is called My Inner reflection and can be found here. This last project was a class - the most amazing class to finish off the 3 day event!  Finished project size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 1/2".  Most of the paper pieces have been lightly sponged with either Rangers Distress Black Soot ink or Walnut Stain Ink. The Eiffel Tower was part of the original design positioned on the left side of Scooter Marci - this finished project is generic.

Back:

Side view:

Top view of spine:  a narrow strip of pattern paper (The Art of Life) with a bow made using the Speak Bubble from the Stitched Elements. The "knot" in the center is made by using the Flag Die from the Stitched Elements: clever, eh? The handle is made using a 1/4" black satin ribbon.

Pocket Purse Album overhead view opened:

Scooter Marci sits on a Stitched Nested Circle which has been trimmed. The trimmed section is used for the front cover tab:  Copic colors for scooter changed to the following:  W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7.  Color her, trim and pop her with foam squares. Rolled Roses Medium and Small are on the right side of Scooter Marci.

Left side front cover: Berry Flourish, Open Flourish die and Large Flourish die cut in multiple pattern papers. Amongst this assortment of dies is also the Feathers die. On top is the Key (and Lock) die.  The Key is die cut 3 times for that chipboard effect. Tie a natural twine around the Key gives a nice finishing touch. Paper flowers and Rolled Roses finish the embellishing of this front cover.

This is the front bottom flap with the remnants of the trimmed down Stitched Circle used underneath Scooter Marci. Add a magnet and ribbon pull in between the card stock edge.

Pull open the front cover to reveal: a pages decorated with Honeycomb and honeycomb pieces. On this page is the Open Leaf Flourish, Feather, Key dies used.   On the bottom edge: Large Lacey Border (in Black card stock) and Small Lacey Border (Kraft card stock). Finish the bottom edge with a small Nested Circle and Stitched Element (cut in half).

Topiary Dies cut in pattern paper with 1/8" wide satin ribbon tied at the trunks are popped with foam squares. Detail on the clock inserted in the pocket below:

Steampunk Clock is cut in black card stock, matted on Kraft and Black card stock using the Stitched Nested Circle die. Add black adhesive pearls to the clock numbers with a adhesive pearl on the center.  The white satin ribbon pull tab is colored using Copic E84. Clock insert is using the Arched Window die cut in black card stock. This is popped with foam squares and is actually a note closure. The Arched Window flips open for a photo.

On the left side: a 5" x 5" side open pocket with a acetate window.  On top of the window is a Winged Heart sitting on top of the Stitched Ribbon. 

Left side bottom corner: Heart Scroll Corner is added.

The inside (which is the purse bottom) spine is 1-1/2" wide.  Cut the (Hanging Hearts and) Love Word twice. Offset to achieve the look shown below:

On the other side of the spine is a Tall Birdhouse cut in black card stock. At the foot of the birdhouse is the pot  from Love to Garden die.
