Coffee Loving Papercrafters

For today’s project I have a tag to share with you. I was browsing YouTube looking for inspiration and I came across a video that showed such a realistic looking iced coffee cup out of paper and I just had to give it a try!

I started with the Sugar Pea Designs Coffee To Go Cup dies. I used Bristol Smooth Card stock so I could do some ink blending on the cup base. I used Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Inks and then spritzed with water for a more realistic look.

For the dome piece of the cup I sponged on a little Tumbled Glass Distress ink to give a very slight appearance of glass.

For the foam on top I used a super cool product called a Snow Marker. You just apply the white liquid and then blast it with your heat tool and like magic you have faux snow (or in this case…. foam)! How cool is that? I also added little Coffee Tiny Bubbles from Honey Bee Stamps for that little extra something on the foam.

 Here is a closeup of all that foam and coffee bubble goodness:

For the word “latte” on top of the cup I used the Coffee Words Sugarcuts dies from Sugar Pea Designs cut from gold foil. I added a red foil heart under the word latte for an extra pop of color!

 For the base of my tag I cut out some vellum using the Stitched Duo 3 dies from Pretty Pink Posh. I’ve always loved the rounded top of that die! I took  Gathered Twigs Distress ink and sponged it over a Gina Marie Coffee Bean Stencil to give the tag some detail.

 And last but not least is my cute little heart charm hanging from the twine. I used the same heart from the tag in red foil and I sandwiched my twine in between two of them to look like a charm. I just love that extra added touch!

I’m just in love with the realistic effect the vellum gives the cup. I enjoyed making this tag so much!

Have a great day, I already am!
