Colorful splash of inks with Creativity Abounds Blog Hop

It’s time for our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world- all with different styles- who hope to inspire you to create beautiful cards and send them to friends and family. Each month we create a tutorial that you can receive with an order from one of us as well as a blog post. These are often centered on a particular theme or technique.

Here is a peak at our design team. Join us for one of our Stamp Camps and you’ll get to meet everyone!

This month our theme is Masculine cards. Here’s the card I created using the Latte Love suite of products.

I have really enjoyed this bundle and used it for quite a variety of cards. It lends itself to so many occasions. Here I’ve used it with Copper Clay, Lost Lagoon, and a bit of Pecan Pie. The Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots are a really fun part of this suite, too! (Until June 30, 2024 the Latte Love Bundle is on sale for an extra 10% off!)

I couldn’t help but use the French Press on the inside. It’s so much fun to build.

instructions for the Latte Love Card

Cut a Copper Clay card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
Adhere the Lost Lagoon striped DSP cut 5 1/4″ x 4″ to the front of the card base.
Die cut the largest Stylish Shapes square from a piece of Basic White card stock.
Stamp the coffee beans in Pecan Pie ink on the top left and bottom right.
On a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock, stamp the overhead view of the coffee mug with Lost Lagoon ink.
Inside the circle of that coffee mug, stamp “You’re the best part of my day” in Pecan Pie ink.
Die cut with the round die with a handle (matches the stamp) and then trim off the handle with your snips.
Pop the circle up on the center of the square with dimensionals.
Die cut one of each small coffee cups from a Copper Clay card stock scrap.
Adhere this to a 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ piece of Lost Lagoon card stock.
Adhere to the front of the card base.
Die cut the frame of the French Press from Lost Lagoon card stock.
Die cut the carafe section from Gray Granite card stock.
Die cut the coffee from Early Espresso card stock.
Adhere the coffee in the carafe and then add the frame.
Adhere to the Basic White insert (5 1/4″ x 4″) for the card.
Stamp “thanks so much” on the insert.
Adhere to the inside of the card.
