Coffee to go

Not only is the Stampin' Up! catalogue full of gorgeous products to drool over it's also a great resource when your 'creative' juices aren't flowing. Stampin' Up! even provide a list of products that are used to create the projects in the catalogue. You can find it right here

So today's project is my take on the Coffee Bag project on page 36 of the catalogue. I didn't copy it exactly but sometimes an idea is just a spring board to your own creation. I didn't have any coffee beans to hand so that meant a change of design right away!

For this project I used the following Stampin' Up! Supplies.

Stamps

Gorgeous Grunge

Perfect Blend

Inks

Early Espresso

Card Stock & Paper

Whisper White

Real Red

Early Espresso 

Brown Sugar

Coastal Cabana

Other Items

White bakers twine

I used my digital die-cutting machine to make the bag.
