Watercooler Wednesday #WWC134 - "Anything Goes"

Our challenge this week at Watercooler Wednesday is Anything Goes. Well if you are anything like me this is the hardest challenge as there is so much to choose from - where do you begin?

I actually chose to use the Coffee Cafe stamp set for my card - this has been a difficult week for me home wise and also my heart is breaking for my old neighbourhood of Sienna Plantation in Houston, Texas where I was fortunate to live for nearly 3  years.  They have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey and, having lived through Hurricane Rita back in 2005 which was no where near as serious, I know how scary Hurricanes can be.

I really like the Designer Series Paper in this series which is known as Coffee Break  - the colours are so pretty and work well with earthy colours which are my sort of colours.  The Coffee Cup Framelits make it easy to punch out the coffee cups and also some of the little cups out of the DSP.  I've added a touch of some of our new Sheer Ribbon in Old Olive along the side and the cute little Corrugated Elements just finish this off.


I look forward to seeing all your designs - thanks for stopping by my blog and do leave a comment - I love to hear from you.

HAPPY CRAFTING

 

COFFEE CAFE GIFT BAGS

Another YouTube tutorial for you today - I loved this Coffee Cafe Suite when I first saw it - I do love coffee but it has to be dark and strong.  No milk, no sugar.  I also like coffee chocolate but that's harder to find.  These little gift bags would be great for giving with chocolates in or sample coffees.

 They are very simple to do and naturally you can use the basics of the bag for any combination of Designer Series Papers you may have.


You need a piece of Designer Series Paper 12" x 6".  Score on the 6" side at 2".

On the 12" side score at 1", 3 3/4", 6.5" and 9 1/4".  Fold and burnish your score lines.  Cut the bags as shown on the tutorial, glue and decorate as you would like.

 As usual all products can be purchased direct from my store - click on the link below to be taken direct.  And don't forget our Special Bonus Days offer for July where for every £45 you spend in July you get a coupon for £4.50 off in August.
