Trimming the TOwn DIY Coffee Carrier

OH My Goodness! I had so much fun creating my own Coffee Carrier! I just love love love it! It's so stickin cute! If you follow me on my Facebook Page Stampin and Scrapping with Steph, you would have seen  Facebook Live where I shared with you how I made the carrier. Stampin Up has a pack of 8 Coffee Carriers in the Holiday Mini Catalog and I just LOVE them, but, I wanted to figure out how to make my own, so if, Stampin Up retires them in January, I can keep making them in any color I want!
I just can't get enough of making them! I love the versatility! Decorate them anyway you want and fill them from anything from cards to makeup to candy...the skies the limit!

The first one I made using Crumb Cake as the carrier base and then I decorated it with the DSP from the Heartwarming Hugs Suite on page 9 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. Its such a pretty suite featuring Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. Perfectly combined holiday colors. I ended up changing my design alittle bit for my Facebook Live, I used the DSP from the Trimming the Town Suite on page 24 of the mini catalog.

I love the blue colors of Pool Party and Misty Moonlight combined with Poppy Parade and Old Olive.
I used Pool Party as the carrier base and details on the coffee cups. 
You will need pieces of cardstock that both measure 8 1/2" x 9 1/2"
DSP 2 pieces each that measure 2 1/4" x 5 5/8" and 2 pieces that measure 2 1/4" x  2 5/8"
About 18" of Ribbon for the bow and about 10" for the tag. I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon for the bow and the Around the Town Trim pack in Poppy Parade. 

For the coffee cups, you will need some pieces of Poppy Parade, Misty Moonlight and Pool Party and DSP to create the labels and wraps.

For the Tag, I used a piece of DSP that measures 2x 4 1/4" and then I used the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. I also used a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and another piece of DSP that measures 1 3/4" x 2 3/4".

I will suggest, practicing on paper you don't care about and do a dry run before you start cutting your good cardstock :-)
To make the carrier, use the Simply Scored Scoring Board or Stampin Trimmer to score your cardstock. Remember that you need to score and cut both pieces of the cardstock the same.
With the 8 1/2" side at the top of you trimmer, score at 2 1/4" and 4 3/4"
Turn the paper and place the 9 1/2" side at the top and score at 2 7/8" and 8 3/4"
Line up the 2 7/8" score line onto 3" and add a score line from the top of the paper to the 4 3/4" score line. (refer to template)

For the next step, I made sure the paper sits with the widest scored section is on the left, and the 1/2 section is on the right.
Starting at the bottom, cut up on the score line at the first section then remove the 1/2 section up to the score line.
Next, remove that 1/2 section at the top right. Measure 1 3/4 from the paper edge in, along the score line and make a mark.
In that same section, move to the top and measure in from the paper edge, 2 1/2 and make a mark. Then draw a line that connects the 2 points.
Remove that section up to the diagagnol line we just drew.
Now, from the left side. Remove that section at the top-left going from that  4 3/4 and then up along that 2 7/8 line. 
Picture

Please ignore the wholes at the bottom of my template above. I used 3-whole punch paper! Ok, so after following the steps above, you should have a piece that resembles the template above. The black lines represent the areas that were cut.
I left on the section at the top right just to show again how that section was measured and then cut.
You should have 2 pieces that look like the template below. Now from the edges of the paper, cut along that score line up to that triangle section. See below.
Picture
The section you just cut the score line on, measure 3/4 down and make a mark. Center a punch or die over that area and cut out a shape for the handle. I used a Square from the Layering Square Dies.  Make sure for the second piece of cardstock, you turn the paper over so that 1/2 tab and that triangle section is on the left.
Adhere the sections you just cut out the shape in.
Decorate your carrier sides before attaching the carrier together. I found it easier to do that while that carrier is flat.
Attach the sides to either sides of your carrier.  And then fold the bottom flaps in and adhere to create the carrier bottom.

To make the wrap for the cups, You  will need to make 2 sets of diecuts. SO you will have 4 pieces of the DSP and 8 of the cardstock,
I used the Warm Hugs Dies to cut out the wraps and scallop edges. I also used the included dies that will cut out the little dashes along the edge of the DSP. Adhere the wrap onto the scallop pieces...top and bottom and then wrap the coffee cups.

I stamped the greeting from the Warm Hugs stamp set, twice and punched it out using the 1 1/2" circle punch. I then Cut out 2 of each the stitched circle and the octogon die as well layered and adhered to the top of the coffee cup lid. 

As I  mentioned a few steps back, I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tied a bow at the top of the carrier handle. I made a quick tag and stamped the greeting from the Wrapped in Chrismas stamp set and fussy cut around the words. I tied it to the bow and let it dangle.

Phew...we are done!
I hope my directions make sense, so feel to contact me with any questions!!!! I had fun sharing with you. If you have a chance to watch my Facebook Live, I demonstrate the steps I shared. Be nice, I am still a novice and learning, well surving the facebook Live challenges!!!! 
I am hoping to share the video onto YouTube as well....so stay tuned I will share when I get that all set too!!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'd love to hear what you think. 
Happy Stampin
