Sometimes you just have an idea and you just have to sit down and make what’s in your head. I really wanted to play with Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Coffee Cups, so I made some little treat holders to give to some special friends. I created one design that I executed with two different papers in two different color combinations. Here are the cups I made:
Each cup is wrapped with one of the patterns from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper – very simple, but oh-so-sweet – that is cropped with the Warm Wraps Dies. The front of each cup is layered with a stamped sentiment from the Warm Hugs stamp set and also cropped with the Warm Wraps Dies. This layer is attached to a 1-3/4″ circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (the width of the ring is perfect for Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals). The little trees on the inside of the circles are cropped with the Warm Wraps Dies and adorned with a Real Red Wonderful Gem, part of the Wonder of the Season Suite on page 31 of the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog. The larger circle is attached to the cups with a Stampin’ Dimensional to allow it to pop off the cup on the sides.
Here’s a look at the Warm Hugs Bundle that was used to stamp and crop these items:
If you love this set, then you are going to love the entire suite – it includes the Warm Hugs Bundle above, the coordinating Wrapped in Christmas stamp set, the Mini Coffee Cups, the Mini Coffee Carrier, Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders, Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Diagonal Stripe Ribbon, Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and Glitter Star Ornaments. That’s a lot! Here’s a look:
The colors I layered onto my cups are pulled right from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. Here are the colors and patterns in the wonderful Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper: 
If you like this mix of Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow as much as I do (and boy do I ever!), I hope you will save this for future reference:
Here’s a look at all of the cups, lined up together – they are simple but really cute, don’t you think?! 
Want to know what’s inside each of these Mini Coffee Cups?! I’ll give you a hint – it’s not coffee. I filled each of these cups with a trail mix I first experienced at a retreat almost 12 years ago. Each is filled with Golden Grahams cereal (if you’ve never had these, they are a cereal that tastes like sweetened graham crackers), mini marshmallows and M&M’s (they tend to sink to the bottom, but you can see a blue one in the top of the picture below). Here’s a look at this simple, but delicious, S’mores Trail Mix:

How absolutely darling. Reflecting back on my previous life as a teacher (pre-COVID) these would be great for those class parties we had for every holiday. Great Job Brian.
Your cups of treats are adorable, Brian. As Frenchie said, they can be used for other occasions, not just Christmas. I love the beautiful DSP. Enjoy your day!
Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration when I get around to my cups!
Brian, you certainly have a great eye for perfect color combinations. I love these “sweet” cups and the treat they hold inside!
These mini cups are BEYOND stinkin’ CUTE. And filling them with all that YUMMINESS……I’m going to have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing my friend.
What sweet treats this will make, they are mini but look big enough to hold enough yumminess for little trick or treaters, which hopefully we’ll get this year.
Thank you for sharing.

So dang cute. I think they are fabulous, fun to make and really, really look fantastic in the mini cup holders. What great place setting novelties these would make for any occasion – Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthday Party, Wedding and any other time you want to have a celebration. Absolutely love them Brian.
