Stampin’ Up! Latte Love with Panels

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.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Last I heard it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

I added a few of the Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots (available March 5), to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the cup. I stamped the coffee in the cup and the steam images from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Do you have plans in the works for the weekend yet? Who will be watching the Super Bowl Sunday night? I’ll be in my craft studio hopefully.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Latte Love Bundle along with A Little Latte Designer Series Paper for my card today. These products will be available starting March 5th. Want to get your hands on them early? You can add them to your starter kit. I’d be happy to talk to you about joining my team.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of A Little Latte DSP to Petal Pink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the small card base to the larger card base using Tear & Tape. 

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Latte Love Dies, I cut the coffee carafe and French press holder from panels of Rose Gold Specialty Paper. I cut the ‘glass’ carafes from a Window Sheet and the ‘coffee’ from panels of Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. I adhered the holders to the carafes using Adhesive Sheets before I cut them. I adhered the carafe and French press to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the coffee cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the heart swirl image from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper first, on the panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the swirl image. I cut the sentiment, coffee cup images and 2 espresso cups using the Latte Love Dies. I cut the coffee beans from a panel of A Little Latte DSP. I adhered the coffee beans to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the cups and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the coffee cup image from the Latte Love stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Early Espresso Ink and colored the image in Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the coffee image in the cup in Pecan Pie Ink and the steam image in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a few more of the die cut coffee beans to the bottom of the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the coffee cup image form the Latte Love stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front and colored it using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the coffee in the cup in Pecan Pie Ink and the steam image in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. I adhered a panel of A Little Latte DSP to the envelope flap.
