Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a stormy one here in NJ. We had an outdoor concert Saturday night to go to. We figured we’d take a chance, maybe it wouldn’t be raining where we were going. I was wrong!! We sat in the card waiting for it to let up, the concert first got delayed an hour. When it got closer to the time the doors were opening, I said no way, the lightning got worse, so we headed home. After delaying it another 1/2 hour and more storms rolling through, they decided to postpone it at 10pm. At least we’re not out the money now.

I played with an Online Exclusive Suite Collection for today’s card. I don’t drink coffee, but I know people that do, and I like to make my cards geared to what the recipients like. Besides, this could be hot cocoa or tea. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive A Little Latte Suite Collection for my card today. It includes the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Bundle and A Little Latte Designer Series Paper. I just love this DSP.

My design in from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #647.

Adhere 3 panels of A Little Latte DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Stamp the inside of the cup image from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Color the cup using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Latte Love Dies. Adhere a piece of Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the cup over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the cup image from the Latte Love stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Lost Lagoon Ink. Stamp the inside of the cup image from Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Color the cup using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To complete the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. stamp the cup image from the Latte Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the image for inside the cup from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Color the image using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of A Little Latte DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
