Happy National Coffee Day!

Sometimes digging around in the warehouse can be somewhat like a treasure hunt. While "exploring" the other day, Beth and I came across a forgotten batch of Full Circle Memories in the Bag Stamper's projects. The project is a hand-stitched mini book incorporating shipping tags and Full Circle papers. It also comes with a little burlap sack that reminded me of the bags coffee beans are shipped in. That got me thinkin': Wouldn't it be fun to revisit this project with a National Coffee Day twist? Turns out many of the elements from our new Java Time special edition collection coordinate really well with Full Circle. Cute right?

To make one of your own, follow the free instructions for the Memories in the Bag project to construct the book.

The project kit includes a pair of coin envelopes in two different sizes. How fun!

Next, grab a couple of coordinating Java Time papers. Trim to create mattes for the front cover and several inside pages. Cut the Cream Cutapart along the printed guidelines to further embellish the book.

Finally, stamp inside pages and front of burlap bag with favorite coffee-related artwork and sentiments.

I think this will make a great gift for one of my coffee-loving friends, especially when it's delivered inside the sweet burlap bag. Don't forget to celebrate National Coffee Day with a Java Time collection of your very own!
