Thanks So Much A Little Latte Card

Thanks So Much A Little Latte Card

This Thanks So Much A Little Latte Card is one I made a little while ago but don’t think I posted. This A Little Latte Suite Collection is still available as one of the Online Exclusives and in stock! It’s such a fun group of products, especially the designer series paper, so don’t miss out! Remember that Online Exclusives are not available in catalogs, just online, so Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have to wait for a new catalog to release new products. However, they can disappear whenever Stampin’ Up! decides not to reorder them so be sure to get what you want!

The card base is Pecan Pie. You could also use Early Espresso cardstock or even match one of the cup colors. I chose two different patterns of the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper for the card layer. The top layer has all the cute little cups and spoons. The bottom layer is probably really meant to be swirly coffee patterns but I thought it could also look like a wooden table top on which to set the coffee cups! To hide the seam between the two, I added a strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock.

The coffee cups were all fussy-cut out of the designer series paper. I didn’t order the dies but knew I would be happy with the designer paper, stamp set, and embellishments. That’s the great part of a Suite. You can order the whole thing using one order number or you can see a number of products that all go together and pick and choose what you want!

The greeting is stamped from the Latte Love Stamp Set in Pecan Pie ink. It is then die cut and layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock to help it stand out. I think the rectangle die I used is a retired one but you can use something similar, like maybe the Everyday Details Dies. Behind the greeting I added some Lemon Lolly twine wound around in several circles and then twisted and adhered to the back. You’ll find the twine in the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack.

For another embellishment, I used the Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots which were a little hard to get a hold of for awhile! They are so cute to use with this A Little Latte Suite but you can also use them on other kinds of cards and projects.

Here is another card I made previously with this Suite.

A Little Latte Thank So Much Card

Here’s a card I don’t think I posted before but if you are a coffee-lover or know someone who is, don’t forget about the Latte Love Bundle, which is on the Bundle Sale right now! This A Little Latte Thanks So Much Card uses the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper and the Latte Love Stamp Set, which has my greeting. Be sure to take advantage of the Bundle Sale and save an additional 10%.

This card has a base of Early Espresso Cardstock and a layer of the cute latte art pattern in the A Little Latte Designer Paper. That pattern is one of my favorites in this package. The two coffee cups are fussy-cut (cut by hand) from another sheet of the designer paper. Two of the dies in the Latte Love Dies will cut out certain coffee cups from the designer paper.

The greeting is stamped from the Latte Love Stamp Set, as I mentioned. You can use these greetings on other cards that have nothing to do with coffee so you do get more opportunities out of this stamp set. The Latte Love Dies will cut out a coffee pot, a french press, cups, and extra little things like coffee beans and a spoon. You can create a whole coffee scene on your card, scrapbook page, or other project!

The ribbon on my card is the Pecan Pie 3/8″ Center Stripe Ribbon. This is a nice, soft ribbon that I like to use. It is a little easier to tie into a bow than the ribbon in the A Little Latte Suite Collection. That ribbon is the Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim. I like it, too, but it is a little stiffer. Another embellishment on the card are the Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots. They look a little like a swirled latte but you can use them lots of places! You may have missed them when they were out of stock awhile back.

A Little Latte Thanks So Much Card

With all the excitement over the contents of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, don’t forget about the choices in the Online Exclusives! This designer paper alone is so fun to work with, not to mention the whole A Little Latte Suite if you want it all!

The card base is Early Espresso but you can choose from other colors as well. I used two different patterns of the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper for the background layer. The piece on the left can be any width you like, probably about 1 1/2″ – 1 3/4″ and the plaid pattern can be the full 4″ width of just extend under the blue stripe a little bit. Before adhering the designer paper layer to the card, wrap around the ends of the Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim Ribbon to the back at the top and bottom. Then tie on a short piece just for a knot, rather than a bow, since the ribbon is a little stiff and thick.

Two coffee or latte cups are just fussy-cut out of the designer paper. If you have Paper Snips or similar small scissors, it’s easy! You can adhere them flat or pop them up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Latte Love Stamp Set. It is stamped on a piece of Basic White in Pecan Pie ink, then die cut with a rectangle from the Everyday Details Dies. Since the rectangle has holes around the border, I cut a piece the same size (just a smidge smaller) of Calypso Coral cardstock to show through the holes!

For a little embellishment, I added three Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots. They are also included in the A Little Latte Suite along with the ribbon, paper, stamps, and dies. As I write this, the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper is sold out but is expected back in stock the week of June 3rd. That makes the Suite unavailable but you can order the rest of the products separately. These are all in the Online Exclusives category rather than pictured in the catalog. Here is another card made in almost a similar way.

A Little Latte Hello There Card

A Little Latte Hello There Card

If you are a coffee lover I know you will want some or all of the products in the A Little Latte Suite Collection, especially the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper I would say! This A Little Latte Hello There Card was made with the designer paper plus one stamped greeting from the Latte Love Stamp Set.

This card is easy to make! The card base is Early Espresso cardstock although you could probably use Pecan Pie instead if you liked it a little lighter. I added a layer of Calypso Coral to brighten it up. The designer paper layer I thought was fun for a background – coffee rings!! The colorful cups with their foam designs on top were just fussy-cut out of the designer paper pattern of cups. They are easy to cut out so no worries!

The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and is in the Latte Love Stamp Set. It’s a little dark for me but it’s okay. I already had this diecut from the Everyday Details Dies in my Basic White cardstock so I used it. I’ve used it a lot lately, but it’s a good size, very handy! Once I knew where I wanted to place it on my card, I stagged the coffee cups around. The middle one is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Fortunately, I remembered I had purchased the Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots in the Suite. They come in three colors: Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, and White. Sticking on some little embellishment on a card is always a fun finishing touch!

Unfortunately, these pretty Swirl Dots are sold out currently but more are expected the week of April 15. Since that is an item in the A Little Latte Suite, that makes the Suite unavailable, but you can order everything else separately, just not in the Suite. Sorry for the delay. Sometimes products come back in stock sooner than we expect so check back occasionally.
