IT’S FRIDAY & IT IS MEANT TO BE A FEATURES AND FUN FOLD DAY

I’m ready to share some features of this week’s product collection but I don’t have a Fancy Fold card for you – just a staight forward and simple card to use the products.

The LAtte Love Photopolymenr Stamp Set has 15 pieces. Four of them are greetings and the remaining stamps are a variety of coffee related images, including some wonderful barista artwork images.

The Latte Love Dies has 20 pieces. There are some great pieces that create a French press and a drip filter coffee maker. Then there is a spoon, coffee beans and cups.

The A Little Latte 12″ X 12″ Designer Series Paper is made up of 12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. The designs in this pack of paper is fantastic.
There is also a Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim and a pack of Adhesive-backed Swirl Dots in this collection. I haven’t even used these two products this week – something I will correct very soon.

Today’s project includes some other SU products. I just wanted to show how well other catalogue items can work with new products,

For this card I used the Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder to add a textured panel to the Pecan Pie cardbase.

Then I cut 5 large Early Espresso and 5 smaller DSP Perennial Postage Dies squares.

I adhered the smaller square over the larger one. I stamped the greeting on one of them.

I glued the four corner squaresinto place using Multipurpose Glue.

For the centre panel, that has the greeting, I loopd a length of Gold Faux Leather Trim under the square. Afer adding some dimensionals I was able to pop it into the centre with added height.

I stamped the coffee beans o the card insert and envelope.Finally, I added some Adhesive-backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Next week I think I will sharing some Easter projects.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

I decided to make a gift box to hold three coffee satchets. This would be a great little gift for a work colleague.

This will probably be a quick post today.

The box measures 7″ x 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ and was made using Early Espresso cardstock.

After cutting, scoring and trimming the box, I cut four pieces of this great coffee bean design DSP into strips that were 6 7/8″ x 1 7/8″. Then these panels were adhered in place.

Using Stampin’ Seal+ to construct the gift box.

I glued three die cut coffee cups to the front of the box.

For the lid, I cut a large square Perennial Postage Die in Early Espresso and a smaller one in in the same coffee bean DSP. I layered and adhered them together.

I looped a length of Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon under a die cut coffee cup. Then I popped some dimensionals under the cup and added them to the postage shapes.

Then I glued these layers to the top of the box lid.

The Nescafe sachets fit perfectly inside the gift box.

The greeting was stamped using Lost Lagoon and cut using the smaller square Perennial Postage Dies.

I used dimensionals to pop it up on the front of the box.

Finally, I added some Lost LAgoon Tinsel Gems to the top and front of the box.

Tomorrow I will share my last project using the A Little Latte Suite Collection.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

The exciting news this week is that I am actually in Melbourne for the 2024 Stampin’ Up! OnStage event.

OnStage is happening, across three days, at three different locations – Rotterdam, Melbourne and Houston.

The event will be filled with demonstrations, swapping, catching up with friends, crafting and getting our hands on the new 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalogue.

I will share loads of photos on my Facebook pages – I hope you have a chance to see what I’m up to.

Today I have another Latte Love project to share with you.

For this card I decided to use my favourite coffee cup rings pattern from the A Little Latte 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

I took a 2″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and ran it through my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I used one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders to add texture to the strip of card.

After adhering this embossed card to the panel of DSP, I wrapped some Gold Faux Leather Trim around the paper and tied a knot.

I adhered this DSP panel to the cardbase.

I stamped the coffee mug image directly onto the white and Lost Lagoon DSP. Then I cut the mug using the Latte Love Dies. I also cut the mug using some Early Espresso and Lost Lagoon card.

The mugs were layered and then popped onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and die cut – with the missing die from my Autumn Leaves Dies.

I stamped the mug on the card insert and the envelope.

Finally, I added some Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems, from the 3 pack, to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
