Today one of our newest Color Throwdown members, the very sweet and talented, Keva is our hostess. She chose a unique palette that I think you'll adore. Check it out:
I love this combination together! I decided to recolor my own paper (as usual) and make a little package for a friend filled with hot chocolate K-Cups. My friend recently bought a Keurig, and she has helped me out in a pinch several times at work, so I thought a little treat would be a nice way to say thank you :0] The paper I recolored is from my Cherry On Top collection. I used the MTME Oh-K Dokey cut file to create my package. It went together in less than a minute, seriously. SUCH an easy cover to whip up, I could make 100 pretty much in the time it takes to cut them out on the Cricut!
I kept my package relatively simple to show off the pretty paper. I wrapped it with my favorite white sewing trim and used some girly grey/silver ribbon to tie off my sentiment panel and show off my new resin roses. I picked up the roses at Michaels, but I swear I'm going to buy some molds and make my own one of these days ;] The tag I used is one of my newer cut files, Simple Tags Rectangle. I stamped my drink choices, check boxes and check mark using the Fancy A Cuppa stamp set.
For the top of my K-Cups, I stamped the Fancy A Cuppa? Add-On hot chocolate sentiment and cut it out using one of my punches (which was obviously a little too small since it chopped one of the outer circles off). I cut the outer, red circle using a nestie...also too small. Apparently I don't have a 1 1/2" circle punch or nestie so please just ignore the outer edge of the K-Cup that's showing. I need to update my punches/die collection :0]
That's pretty much all there was to it! If you know someone who has a Keurig, this cut file is for you. It's so simple and only costs $2.50!! Can't beat that!
