I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too.  Here are some of the cards I made with them.

Aren't they great?  You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders. 

Here's a photo of the cute A Little Latte designer paper. There are two sheets of coffee cups you can fussy cut.  Or get the Latte Love bundle that has dies to match.

 I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow.

I keep a small bag of White die-cut greeting pieces on my desk so I grabbed some of those for my greetings.  Done! 

I think they turned out great.  Do you ever grab your leftovers to create with?

• Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

  May 28, 2026

  ---

  Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

  Save

  Here’s how you do it:

  Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

  Save

   Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

  Save

   Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

  Save

  We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

  I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

• More Team swaps!

  May 26, 2026

  Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

  Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

  Save

  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

  Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

  Save

  She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

  Save

  Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
  The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

  Save

  Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
