Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We’re excited to have Michael Trent back with us today!

Hello everyone.  I want to thank everyone for all the love after my first post last week.  It felt great and put a big smile on my face all weekend!

For this week, I’ve taken a Coffee To Go digi stamp from Stamplorations and turned it into a 3D ornament.  You can hang it on your Christmas tree (if you celebrate) or even just to hang from a window or, maybe, the rearview mirror in your car (that’s where mine is).

I had already decided to make this ornament with 3 “levels” so the first thing I did was to print 6 of the same image.  This project uses the Floral Coffee To Go Digital Stamp Set (Stamplorations).  You can also print this image 4 times and make 2 “levels”.

Then I grabbed my Ultra Fine Tip BIC Markers and fully colored two of the coffee cups – one for each side.  Then I fussy cut them and ran a black marker around the edge to get rid of any white border.

Next, for the 2nd and 3rd “levels” I only colored in the parts of the images that I knew I would fussy cut.

Then I fussy cut the pieces and carefully ran a black marker around the edges to remove as much of the white border as possible.

Next, I adhered some foam tape to the back of one of the cups, adhered a piece of ribbon down the center, and then adhered the other cup.

Next, I adhered foam tape/pop dots to the back of all the pieces and adhered them to each side of the cup.  Then I added Glam Pink, Yellow, and Orange Stickles (Ranger) – because everything should shimmer and shine.  I did one side, let it dry, and then I did the other side.

I hope you guys enjoyed this idea on how to make your own Coffee To Go Ornament.  I’d love to know what you think.  I will the step by step on the larger ornament tomorrow on my blog.  ‘ll see you next Friday with another project!

Have a great weekend everyone!
