I am not sure about you, but when I saw the Stampin’ Up Ice Cream Swirl bundle in the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog it had fun written all over it. Right now the weather is still on the cold/cool side and ice cream has not really been on my mind… but a cup of hot, delicious coffee sounds amazing. 🙂 With that being said, I found a way to create a cup of coffee using the Stampin’ Up Ice Cream Swirl dies. I used the ice cream cone die to die cut the shape from a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and Basic White cardstock. Next, I cut the Crumb Cake cone just above where the rim starts (base of the cup). Then I cut the white piece of the cup from the Basic White cone and layered it on top of the Crumb Cake cone. To make the white top of the lid, I cut a Basic White piece of cardstock .25″ x 1.5″ and adhered it to the back of the white lid. To add some pizzaz to the cup, I used the coffee sleeve die to die cut a white sleeve and then I embossed the coffee sleeve with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The sleeve will hang over the side of the cup, but after adhering it to the coffee cup you can cut the excess off using a pair of scissors. Lastly, I added a stitched Real Red heart to the sleeve. The heart was die cut using one of the dies included in the Give it a Whirl die set.
Color Combination:

I thought it would be real cute to add a gift card pocket to the inside of the card. What a perfect gift… a gift card to the person’s favorite coffee place. 🙂
Supplies used to make this cute card are listed below. Happy stamping!
