Espresso Your Love with a Handmade Coffee Cup Sleeve

Hello! Mary here with a charming Valentine’s Day gift idea. Perfect for coffee lovers, this thoughtful idea combines creativity and practicality. The sleeve features vibrant pink and white card stocks from CutCardStock.

Supplies Used:

~Strawberry Cream, Amaranth, and Cougar White from CutCardStock

~Divinity Designs Scalloped Circle dies

~Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Mug Additions (intertwined hearts)

~Newton’s Nook Designs Love Cafe stamp set (sentiment)

~Simon Says Stamp Punch ink

~My Favorite Things Stitched Fishtail Banner die

~To Go Disposable coffee cups with lids and sleeves (I bought mine at HomeGoods, but there are lots of options on Amazon)

Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Begin by die cutting the 2 3/4″ scalloped circle and banner from white card stock and a 2 1/4″ scalloped circle from Amaranth card stock. Cut the intertwined hearts from Strawberry Cream card stock.

2. Stamp the sentiment onto the banner using Simon Says Stamp Punch ink (or any pink ink to match). Using a light touch, ink blend around the edge of the white scalloped circle using the same ink.

3. Adhere the pink scalloped circle to the center of the white scalloped circle and attach the banner toward the bottom. Next, adhere the intertwined hearts.

4. Secure the finished embellishment to the sleeve by adding tape runner to the center of the back of it and adhere it to the sleeve. (see next photo) You only want adhesive in the center so the embellishment pops off of the cup a bit.

5. Slide the sleeve onto the coffee cup. Fill the cup with Valentine chocolates and flavored coffee pods and finish with the lid.

This project is quick, fun, and a great way to add a personal touch to a Valentine’s Day gift. Whether you’re gifting and friend, teacher, or a loved one, this coffee cup sleeve will make them feel loved! Don’t forget, through January 30, CutCardStock is having a 30% off sale on select Pink and Red card stock.
