A Little Latte cards – all made from leftovers on my desk!


I decided to have a staycation this last weekend. I rarely take a day off at home; it seems like the only time I take an entire day off is if I leave town.  I tried my hardest to stay out of my studio on Saturday.  I lasted until 5 pm; then I couldn't resist playing a bit. 

I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups in a baggie and thought they'd make great thank you cards. So I pulled out my A Little Latte designer paper pack and some extra greeting tags and made these cards. 

The designer paper pieces were either strips or squares so I arranged the fussy cut coffee cups over the largest pieces.  I think they turned out great for cards made without a plan!


The only thing I purposefully prepped were the card bases and White textured layers (So Swirly embossing folder seen here). The rest are all scraps! 

Do you ever play with what's on your desk and get creative?

  • Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!


    The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

    This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks.  I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion.  It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today!  See it here. 

    The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides.  I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases.  I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.  

    Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

    Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives. 

    Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits.  They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning.  They're great for gifts or last minute crafting. 

    Check out all of our all inclusive kits here.  Today is the last day of the kit sale!

  • Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold


    Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October.  Our theme was winter or Christmas. 

    First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene! 

    She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here.  She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder. 

    She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees!  It's so pretty and real looking!

    Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey.  You might think she used designer paper here….. 

    It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

    She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes.  Simply gorgeous!

    The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. 

    Measurements of the layers are as follows:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
    • Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
    • Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita. 

    She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees.  The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base.  It's a neat fold! 

    Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2". 

    Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap.  My gals are super talented!!
