More Coffee, Please!

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s K-Cup Holder 2 Cups (SVGSilhouette).  This adorable tote holds two K-cups of coffee or cocoa. This little coffee tote is perfect for pumpkin spice season and is super easy to assemble using the steps below.

I made the K-Cup Holder 2 Cups using my Silhouette Cameo 4.  While I love using pattern paper, I recommend using a solid cardstock for the carrier and insert (khaki pieces in the image below).  However, you can use patterned paper for the outside pieces (red), just make sure you use the correct orientation if you are using a directional patterned paper.  I used an autumn leaf paper from Lori’s a Perfect Autumn collection from Echo Park Paper Co.

Before assembling the carrier, I inked the autumn leaf paper pieces with aged mahogany Distress Ink and adhered them to the carrier as shown below.  Next, I folded the carrier along the scores marks and added adhesive to the tabs of the carrier.

To assemble the box, I folded the taps inside the carrier to create a box shape by lining up the tab’s score marks with the edge of the handle panels.  Once the carrier was assembled, I folder the K-cup insert along the score lines and inserted it into the carrier.

Once the K-Cup Holder 2 Cups carrier was assembled, I decorated the front using stickers from Lori’s a Perfect Autumn collection from Echo Park Paper Co. I used foam tape to add dimension to the decorative elements used.  Then, I added two K-Cups to the carrier.  Finally, I used a cute autumn leaf ribbon to hold the carrier closed.

 

Lori has a number of K-Cup holders available in the shop.  Be sure to check them out if you have coffee (or cocoa) lovers in your life.

Until next time,

Michelle
