Asian Coffee Cup

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". Decorative paper used for the cup is from My Little Shoebox Aiko - Bouquet (retired from 2012).  Chocolate Brown card stock is from Core-dinations and Ivory card stock used is Recollections brand.
As in previous coffee cups made, the removable sleeve (is from the Good Day at the Office Kit from SVGcuts.com).  Ungroup the original file, then add any letters needed for personalizing - 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.

Remove the lid to reveal: Stamps used are from Dandelion Stamps Alphabet Cling found here.  Punch them out using a 1" EK Success Circle Punch.  The mat is a 1-1/8" EK Success Circle Punch. A variety of colors used for the 1-1/8" punched circle mats along with a variety of Copic Markers. Reeses Miniature Candies used for the Dandelion Alphabet miniatures.  There is a specific message to my friend once it is unscrambled.............can you guess what it is? I may have to give her a hint or the message..................
 Here are those covered chocolates:
 These line up to spell "Hello":
 These line up to spell "Patti":
So the other candies spell out: naeJ hknaTs os chum gush omfr (LOL-words scrambled)
