I am seriously addicted to the Coffee Cafe Bundle in the annual catalog and I am super excited that there is a fall/winter themed companion set in the soon-to-be-released Holiday catalog. (Pumpkin Spice Lattes anyone?) The funny thing is I LOVE this bundle but I HATE coffee! And all things coffee flavored. Including coffee ice cream, which is saying something. I never had any morning sickness when I was pregnant will all three of my boys but the smell of a cup of coffee with cream in it would send me running. BUT, I know I am certainly not the norm and I have a bunch of friends and family members who can't get through the day without it. And it's just too stinkin' cute to not jump on the Coffee Cafe band wagon and let all you coffee lovers have all the fun.
Recently, a group of crafty friends and I got together for a "Christmas in July" girls weekend. Typically when the group of us gets together we each make little table gifts for everyone in attendance. This coffee-themed card and and Coffee Nut M&M's-filled box were my contribution. (although my box was filled with crispy M&M's not Coffee Nut, lol!)
I am also loving the Early Espresso and Lemon Lime Twist color combo. The Lemon Lime Twist is so bright and fun and really adds a pop of color to the dark richness of the Early Espresso.
You can see it a little better in this photo, I colored the Coffee Cafe Designer Series Paper with my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Write Marker for some added color and to help tie in the Lemon Lime Twist. (the centers of my little coffee beans were colored too!)
The box was made with a single piece of Early Espresso Card Stock and finished off with the new Ombre Ribbon in Lemon Lime Twist. One of the things I love most about Stampin' Up! is how all of our products are color coordinated to work together...makes my job so much easier!
The one piece fold-over box will fit any flavor of the shareable size M&M package. What is your favorite M&M flavor?
