I am sure you will love, love, love, the new Latte Love Bundle that was released last month. This is an online exclusive and although our new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live today, click below to download your digital copy, this sweet bundle will not be featured. You can however, click here to see this bundle and many more online exclusive stamp sets that are available for purchase. So let’s create a super fun card today.

I started with an Early Espresso card base and added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the new So Sweetly Embossing folder featured on page 129. Although you cannot tell from the catalog, this embossing folder is super sized and perfect for creating those larger card fronts and slimline cards. This embossing folder measures 6 x 8 -1/2. The Dotted Circle Embossing folder is also supersized. All other folders pictured on page 129 are regular size.

The Early Espresso piece on the front measures 2-3/8 x 4 and the coffee bean designer series paper measures 2-1/4 x 3-7/8. I used my paper snips to fussy cut the coffee cups and the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss to crop the spoons. Just add three little brown gems and your card is ready to send. I really love the way the So Swirly embossing folder brings out the background of this card. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more if it in the future.

A Cup of Thanks! Latte Love Bundle

Leave a Comment / Online Exclusives, Thank You / April 30, 2024

I hope you have had a chance to check out the new online exclusive bundle from Stampin’ Up! I know you are going to love it! The Latte Love Bundle is only available online and will not be featured in the new catalog. Speaking of new catalog, the 2024-2025 new annual catalog goes live tomorrow, May 1st.

Today is the final day to purchase products from the Last chance list! Some of these items are on sale for up to 60% off! Now that is a big deal. Stop back tomorrow for the digital download of the new annual catalog.

Now back to that Latte Love Bundle! My card today was created for my upline, Brian King, was a thank you for organizing a team card swap. I will be sharing my swap card later this week and then hopingly when I receive the cards created by my teammates, I will be able to share them too! Look for that adventure toward the end of May or the beginning of June. It will all depend on when I receive my cards.

I started with a Basic White card base and added a thin layer of Pecan Pie. I used the brand new Eyelet 3-D Embossing folder that will be featured in the 2024-2025 annual catalog and ran it through my embossing machine using a piece of Boho Blue cardstock. For my cup rack, I embossed a piece of Pecan Pie with the Timber 3-D embossing folder and added it across the Boho Blue eyelet panel for a cup rack. I was really hoping this would give the look of wallpaper in a kitchen. What do you think?

I cropped the cups with the coordinating dies in the Latte Love Bundle and used a Stampin’ Dimensional to add them to the card front. I added a black dot using a Sharpie marker in the center of each hanging cup. The thank you is from the Throughout the Year stamp set and is stamped with Memento Black ink. I used my paper snips to cut an angle and added it to my card front using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I am really loving this cute little bundle and hope to do a Make it Monday tutorial very soon. Don’t forget the Latte Love Bundle is only available online under the “Online Exclusives”. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Flowering Zinnias Happy Birthday!

Leave a Comment / Designer Series Paper, Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives / April 26, 2024

One of my favorite things is celebrating birthdays and my card today was the birthday card that I gave my niece, Shelby, yesterday on her 31st birthday. She is an elementary teacher at my parish’s school and she is doing an amazing job. I just had to celebrate her with these beautiful paper flowers. Of course real flowers would have been better but if you know me then you know I don’t have a green thumb. I decided on the next best thing and surprised her with a birthday cupcake from Jilly’s cupcakes.

Here is the card I created for her.

This card was so super simple. I just started with a Berry Burst card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper on the card front and stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink directly onto the DSP. The greeting is from Sentimental Park and yes, that will be carrying over to the new catalog.

For the inside I attached a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White and stamped the You from Sentimental Park and the second greeting from Notes of Nature. Sorry Notes of Nature is retiring but you still have a few more days to add that to your stamping stash before it is retired for good! I hope you have a fantastic Friday! Happy Stamping!

Flowering Zinnias Vines-Weekly Wed. #14

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Online Exclusives, Thinking of You / April 24, 2024 / Flowering Zinnias

Hey friends, I am going to bring back my Weekly Wednesday video where I create a card with you, not live because I am too chicken and don’t really have the equipment yet, but you can create along with me weekly through my YouTube Channel. If you have been following me then you know that I have been featuring the new online exclusive Flowering Zinnias suite collection.

This is not featured in the catalog because it is an online exclusive and if you don’t want the entire collection, just pick and choose what you want. The Simply Zinnia Bundle features the stamp set and the dies while the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper pack and adhesive backed sequins can be purchased separately.

Today I thought it would be fun to create a card that features the leafy vine pattern in the paper pack. I paired it with a card base of Lemon Lime Twist with a little black border. Just like the little black dress in your closet makes you look fabulous, a little black border is just what this card needed.

And now today’s video:

Simply Zinnia Bundle

Leave a Comment / Online Exclusives, Thank You, Thinking of You / April 23, 2024

Last week I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! featuring the Simply Zinnias Collection. Click here if you missed that. This is an amazing bundle and I have to admit the paper is pretty great. Here are just a few cards created by Stampin’ Up! using this collection.

I am usually not a sequin girl but I have to say they look pretty great on these card and really seem to add that needed pop! Did you know that you can purchase the colored sequins separately? I mean these are pretty colorful so you might need a second pack! Right?

These cards were all created using a little bit of everything from the collection. I am amazed at how detailed the embossing folder is. One of the tips Stampin’ Up! shared is to use watercolor paper with the embossing folder to get an even deeper detailed look. Very cool! Happy Stamping!
