Coffee cup holder book




Hello, Katrina here from a sunny England. It has been a beautiful spring here in Bristol, all the daffodils and tulips are blooming and there are lots of bees and butterflies about. I rarely buy takeaway coffee but we did the other day and I just had to keep the wonderful corrugated cup holders!


With a little bit of paint and ribbon and some off cuts of paper I made this cute little book. I used the lovely Muca Collage sheet for the front and the backgrounds ii to use as a background. This is a great project to use up all the scraps you have and would make a lovely gift to pop in with a card or just for yourself as its small enough to keep in a pocket for all those things you need to jot down when you are out and about.



Happy Crafting!

Love Katrina

  1. Your little book is so cute. It's great to take something that one person thinks is junk and turn it into something lovely.

  2. Beautifully done and yet so simple. Perfect for a gift card insert I love the coffee holders too, they are fabulous texture. I like to put them under a decorative or colored paper and use sandpaper to capture the texture on the paper.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
