Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We’re so thrilled to welcome Olga Direktorenko as a Guest Designer!

Hi, my name is Olga, I am from Dnipro, Ukraine where I live with my wonderful husband, our three children and a dachshund dog. I have always loved crafting and DIY, but paper craft is definitely my favorite. And the technique that I love the best is die cutting – there are so many things you can do with it like adding layers, dimensions and so much texture and watch your ideas come to life!

I remember participating to the very first Coffee Lovers blog hop and I fell in love with it ever since! I do believe that coffee and paper crafting are a perfect blend and they are meant to bring joy to our lives!

I am so happy to be guest designing for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog this month!  I do believe that coffee is meant to bring people closer to each other and today I would like to show you a couple of examples of coffee themed gift wrapping.

Chocolate bars are always a good gift idea and to turn it into something special I have created my own wrapping paper by using the Splatter stencil by Tim Holtz and a sheet of plain kraft paper. I have used some dies (Stitched Tunnel Tags by Poppystamps and Coffee on the Go by Memory Box) to make plus some papers by Maja Design to make a nice large tag for my gift.

To wrap a couple of coffee bags I have made a box with We R Memory Keepers punch board and used the same stencil to give it a coffee stain pattern. The tag is the same design as the chocolate bar one, I have just used squares as a base instead of tags.
