Hello again! Monica here with a fun gift idea for your favorite coffee lovers. Let’s take another look at the boxes.

I loved making these! These pillow boxes are just the right size for some coffee and a sweet treat. Let’s get right in to how I put these pillow boxes together.

I give the patterned paper full credit for my inspiration for this project, it is GORGEOUS! The paper is from the Turn the Page collection by Pink Paislee. I cut the 12×12 sheet of paper into 4, 6×6 pieces. I followed the steps using the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board to get the 4 boxes. I put the boxes together with some Scor-tape to make sure they wouldn’t come apart.

I gold heat embossed the sentiment from The Struggle is Real stamp set from The Ink Road onto some navy cardstock. I used a circle die and a scalloped circle die from Sizzix to put the tags together. I added a gold glitter heart to the tag from the Crate Paper Cute Girl embellishments collection for some bling. Next, I added in the coffee and chocolate. I tied the box closed with some natural twine from May Arts and adhered the tag onto the box. I hope you give these a try, thanks so much for popping by today. See you soon!

For my Travelers Notebook spread, I was inspired by the ” I Cant Emphasize This Enough” stamp in The Struggle is Real set. I really wanted to emphasize the theme of COFFEE, which pretty much rules my life!

I stamped the “Coffee” repeatedly to drive home the theme, and created the tag on the right page by using multiple embossing powders to give a great look of dimension! I hope you enjoy and are inspired by my project, and go grab this great set for yourself!!
