latte love...

Good morning.  Today's Papertrey Ink group post showcases the new Latte Love stamp set and coordinating dies, Coffee Cozy and Coffee Cozy Details dies.  

I created a gift set using the Coffee Cozy and Details dies and came up with a quilted cozy which uses bits of my tea-stained fabric and muslin.  In between the top and bottom layer, I added fusible batting in order to create a soft, quilted look.  After, I added handstitching to further add to the feel I was going for.  The sweet Coffee Cozy Details die was used on the left side to create a tiny, Vintage Cream felt tag.

I used the Heart Border die and Classic Kraft felt to add a border around the top of the cozy, and vintage trim was used around the bottom.  I created a coordinating tag using Kraft cardstock, the new Rustic Burlap Impression Plate (love this), Vintage Cream cardstock and the Limitless Layers:  1 3/4" and 2 1/2" Circles dies.  Along with sweet image and sentiments from the Latte Love stamp set, I used the older Tea for Two Additions set, patterned paper, Simply Chartreuse felt, the Heart-2-Heart #7 die, and a Lily Resin Flower.  To tie the tag in with the cozy, I used the Coffee Cozy Details die once again to create a matching tag out of Vintage Cream felt.

And lastly, I used some vintage trim and the Ruby Rose dies to create a flower topped with a Vintage Cream felt heart cut using the Coffee Cozy Details die.  

You know, I am not a coffee drinker, so this is all a bit new to me.  Forgive me if I have picked out a container that you'd never use to drink coffee out of and just go with it, OK?  I totally need to create a Coca-Cola Cozy for myself though :).

My card uses images from the Latte Love stamp set.  There are so many fun and "punny" sentiments included.  I used the Desktop File Center die and Vintage Cream cardstock as my base, stamped the stacked coffee cup image in Dark Chocolate and added color with my Copics and Stickles.

You can catch a peek of another new stamp set called Background Basics:  Morocco beneath my Desktop File die.  It is stamped in Limeade Ice and Sweet Blush.  I used the Coffee Cozy Details die once again to add a Vintage Cream felt heart.  This die collection comes with holes for stitching which makes it a breeze to add details such as this.

Lastly, my sentiment was stamped on a Tremendous Tag stamped from Classic Kraft ink using Dark Chocolate and Berry Sorbet.  One more detail was added using the Coffee Cozy Details die once again to create a tag.  A bit of Freckled Fawn washi tape was used as well to mix and match the patterns included in the stacked coffee mugs.

Beautiful projects again, Melis! I love your coffee cozy. I'm not a coffee drinker either, but this can be adapted to anything.

[Deirdre]

Oh Melis, this is just perfect. I love coffee but never use those containers, love to be sitting down with my tea or coffee. Mind you, I'd make an exception for your creation ;-) love all your details and now that you mention it, a cosy for a can or bottle of Coca Cola....mmm red, dots, warm, cosy......I had to stop and check in on you before I head to work, now I'm happy, thank you.

WONDERFUL cozy! LOVE all the oh-so-pretty details! I don't drink coffee but three-quarters of the people I know, do. What a great gift this would make. And really, you could use a cozy for any beverage you buy. TFS :)
