Last week we had our team Christmas party, and what a FUN TIME we had! We had an Ugly Sweater Party. Here is our winner for the best sweater, Donna Kish (in the middle).
We had 5 different make and takes, which kept us pretty busy most of the evening!
Team photo of those who could attend (sorry for those of you who had to leave early!! We should have snapped the photo at the beginning of the night and not at the end!)
We also had a gift exchange. This is what I made for it. One of my team members (Gina Shappa) made the Kerr jar holder and I filled the jars with yummy Christmas candy. Gina is SO CREATIVE!!!
Starbucks has made is easy for papercrafters this year! It’s easy to wrap gifts from Starbucks this year, I hardly had to do anything to the packaging! Love that their logo is “CRAFTED BY HAND AND HEART” this year!
To make the bag, I just used the bag from the store, and scored 1 1/4″ on the 2 sides and the bottom. That makes their flat bag gusseted, so you can fit a wider gift in it (like their adorable ornaments this year!) The ornament I chose to give is their signature cup, and on the opposite size it has the state of AZ on it.
I added the coffee cup pattern below. You can decorate the coffee cup any way you want! Our Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper goes well with this theme! I used a real Starbucks “hugger” and just trimmed the sides down to match my coffee cup, then adhered it to the front. Same with the Starbucks logo, I just cut it out and adhered it with Dimensionals.
The sentiment or gift card goes on the part that slides out of the cup. The lip stamp is retired, but have no fear, a new KISS STAMP will be coming out in the Spring Catalog!!!!
Here are the dimensions of the coffee cup card. It is a little taller than 5 1/2″, so if you need this card to fit in an envelope, you may want to make it a tiny bit smaller. I didn’t put my card in an envelope, I just slipped it in the gift bag.
This is a photo of the inside piece that slides out.
This is the back of the same piece.
When you adhere the coffee lid, put a strip of Tear Away Tape ON THE VERY TOP EDGE. You can see how I can still lift the bottom party. This is so the coffee lid will slide over the coffee cup. It will make more sense when you create it and slide it in the coffee cup card.
I wanted to share a few more Grinch Party pictures!! CJ Boyce gave an amazing demonstration, using Christmas projects!!!! GREAT JOB CJ! You are so creative!!! Even the bathroom was decorated with Stink Stank Stunk spray!Photo booth was a HIT!
Baby Bear is a stamp set that can be used all year long! I love it paired up with the sweater folder! And how about some gummy bears to go with this! Fun Christmas treat for any age!
My favorite color combo for the bear is (and in this order): Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso
