Stampin’ UP! Latte Love Bundle Sneak Peek

February 28, 2024

I played around with my Stampin’ UP! Latte Love Bundle- it’s coming out on March 4 in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. It’s a really trendy set with awesome dies that make a coffee carafe and a coffee press!

Have you heard of an “affogato”? It’s an Italian dessert with espresso poured over ice cream! YUM! I saw another company with a sentiment that said…”Affogato Your Birthday”…I just had to make a card with my supplies! Yes, keep repeating it- it sounds like- I forgotta your birthday! I used the Stampin’ UP! Alphabest Stamps for affogato and the Lasting Joy stamps for “your birthday” on the coffee cup. I cut a slit in the cup with the xacto knife on my Take Your Pick Tool and slid some ice cream in from the Stampin’ UP! Share a Milkshake Dies:)

For the inside, I used the Something Fancy stamp set and masked off part of the sentiment to say, ” I’m just stretching the celebration out”.

Then, I got down to using the sentiment in the set….

I love the coffee motif patterns in the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper but ended up just using a 3/4″ strip of the pretty gingham as a tablecloth:) I pulled out the Pecan Pie, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and the Lemon Lolly to design my card. I added in Early Espresso for the coffee in the pot and the sentiment because, I mean, it’s an ESPRESSO!

Check out the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES on March 4 to see this Stampin’ UP! A Little Latte Suite!

You can add on the Comforting Thoughts Stamps and Happy Little Things Dies or

You can substitute a different stamp set. I will mail your substitution item with the Busy Bee Bag with free shipping/tax. If something is not available at the time of ordering on March 1st, I will contact you. I will invoice the extra amount if the stamp set is slightly over:)

Each BUSY BEE BAG will include at least $22- $25 worth of product in addition to the 8 card kits (2 each of 4 designs) in a reusable bag for storing/organizing. You will be surprised to get DSPs, ribbons, embellishments and/or other great products in your bag- way more than you will use for your products- so you have leftovers to use on other things.

Stamped images and stamp sets are not included but you can add the featured stamp set/dies/bundle to be sent with your BUSY BEE BAG with no shipping added for the featured stamp set/bundle/dies! You can even substitute equal value items! That is…a bundle for a bundle, a stamp for a stamp, die set for a die set etc. and I will pay the shipping on that stamp set/die/bundle and include it in your March 2024 Busy Bee Bag!

REMEMBER…you can use the card kits with any stamp set you have!

Stampin’ UP! Cherry Builder Punch with Ice Cream Swirl and Sunny Days DSP!

February 23, 2024

Happy Friday, friends! You know I have enough DSP to pave a road to outer space but I get so excited when I use just a 3/4″ strip I cut off a 6″ x 6″ or 12″ x 12″…it’s the little victories…lol.

If you watched my Wednesday video…that is where I had my strip of cherry patterned paper. And, I had not used my Stampin’ UP! Cherry Builder Punch as a cherry yet! I did make it an apple for something though:) That is why I think it is so versatile! I have the pumpkin/apple punch from a ways back but it is bigger and the Cherry Builder Punch is a valuable addition to the punch family.

The sentiment can be found in the Stampin’ UP! Ice Cream Swirl stamp set. The Sunny Days Designer Series Paper can be found in the Sale-a-bration Line Up for a $50 order!

Stampin’ UP! Enduring Beauty Bundle Framed with a Gift Tag!

February 18, 2024

We made this ensemble at our Stampin’ UP! Enduring Beauty Bundle Product Class last week. We made the card I posted last Wednesday, a framed piece, and a tag to go on a gift bag.

I put a black 5″ x 7″ panel in a 5″ x 7″ frame I got from Michaels. Then I adhered a white 4″ x 6″ panel embossed with the Layered Floral Embossing Folder to the black panel.

We started out by stamping three flower images and then colored them with the masks. We used one on the card, one in the frame, and one for the inside of the card and the bottom of the tag. Then we used the Stampin’ UP! Enduring Beauty Masks to color with Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers. They were super easy to color- watch the video if you missed it HERE.

I used one of the largest tags in the Stampin’ UP! Tailor Made Tags to cut out the tag. Before I cut out the tag, I die cut the words “for you” with the Love For You Dies. I then laid the flowers on the white paper and die cut the tag so the flowers had the stitching around them.

It was such a great class- we all felt like artists stamping our images and standing back and admiring how pretty the images looked after we used the masks to color them!
