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.

CoffeeGiftWrapping1

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.

CoffeeGiftWrapping2

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. See you over at the Summer Coffee Lovers blog hop!

Inspiration can be found on Olga’s  blog and you can keep connected via Instagram, YouTube + Facebook.
