Free Coffee Theme Topper Printable

Create with TLC has some wonderful wordart.  I am so excited to see so many perfect for what I call the "FOOD THEME".  I am always making recipe cards, scrapbook layouts using recipes, or toppers, greeting cards, etc that the "FOOD THEME" is appropriate for.  This particular wordart for COFFEE is WONDERFUL!  I just had to play with it!  When i first saw it, I thought about those hotel packages that I have seen several times now this summer since we have been traveling.  

In the baggie I envision including either instant coffee packets with creamer and sugar packets, a napkin and a plastic spoon...similar to what is in a hotel room.  OR at least ONE if not two chocolate covered spoons to make MOCHA COFFEE.  Another idea is to include one of those "gourmet single pot" packages that are available at Christmas or sometimes in the regular coffee aisle even and a couple ghiraldi chocolate squares and a biscotti cookie or two. 

 Really it is whatever each persons taste would call for.

This is a 300dpi image so it appears large in the download, but it will print well on the page.  I can get two to a single page if you turn it sideways.

FREE 'HAPPY' PRINTABLE

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY...  :-)

I have a new printable for you to snag.  The template is by Belle, all the elements are from Paulette and the layout is my own.  Please use it for personal use only.  The elements are from various CLUBS that Paulette has sold, but the wordart is available HERE. 

Some folks have asked me how to "use" them.  Other folks have asked HOW I MAKE THEM.  YIKES...that is a big request.  I can only say I use Paint Shop Pro and have learned from various Yahoo Groups as well as online classes and various tutorial sites.  I have primarily used PSP version 7, but do use PSPX and now have PSPx4 that I have to learn.  But when you want to use a PRINTABLE...these are basic steps.

STEP ONE:
Save the image to your own computer.  Open it in whatever program you use for printing.  When I tell mine to print, I usually check to be sure it says PRINT FIT TO PAGE.  Some templates that is not necessary, but for the most part, that works for me.  For this, I printed three sets/copies in order to show you all aspects of these tea bag holders.  After you print the file, cut it out on the solid lines meant to be CUT.  In general dotted lines almost always mean to crease/fold and solid mean to cut, but solid could also be to crease/fold as in this template.

STEP TWO:
You can see better here how after cutting it out, I folded/creased the solid lines of the image.

STEP THREE:
Some options for assembly are to use double stick tape as I did here; craft glue, hot glue, buttons and string, eyelets, ETC...  these options are open to how the individual wants the project to look and how the template is structured.  For this purpose, I used double stick tape.  The flap on the "envelope" can be trimmed to fit better inside and make it a tuck tab otherwise, I used double stick tape on one and regular tape on another to see how I liked either look.  Frankly, I don't mind it either way.  Some do NOT want the shiny tape showing on the back side so the double stick is mandatory then.  UP TO YOU!

Then you tuck the teabag inside the envelope and after you have attached the hang tag element, again with double stick tape, tuck it inside too.

STEP FOUR:
You can see here, the different steps...  printed, cut, fold, assemble.  Now my goal for this is to add it to a greeting card as a little pick-me-up. You can use them to make "bouquets" by taping them to skewers and assembling them like a flower arrangement among some silk flowers/baby's breath in a pretty vase, or just to pass out to someone you want to give a RAK (random act of kindness) too.

Hope this little "tutorial" of sorts has helped those that have been asking the questions....

And last by not least...here is the printable... please just click to open in a new window/tab and then save to your own computer for printing when you are ready to play with it...

HAVE A HAPPY DAY!

Smuggles,

COOKIE BOX PRINTABLE FREEBIE

A while back was one of those fun daily
"holidays" that we all have fun creating
goodies for.  I made this layout for that and
got too busy with life to post it;

however, it is not a seasonal item
so it can be used at any time of year
for any age recipient!

The zip file actually has 4 separate layouts
in it.  I couldn't pick which one was best
to share and so you get to pick from the four!
Maybe you'll like all four!  One of them has a
spot you can use to personalize

them on your own next to the cookies and
milk on the long side panel too...
so you can get creative with them too!

Have fun!
