A Little Latte - Online Exclusive


I made these cards using new Online Exclusive products.  These are products that are not in any catalog; you can purchase them directly online - or CONTACT ME and I can place the order for you.  

I made these cards using A Little Latte Designer Series Paper - but there is also a stamp set and dies that coordinate with the paper.  I fussy cut some of the images from the designer paper - and used greeting stamps from various stamp sets.









Be sure to visit my online store to check out all the other ONLINE EXCLUSIVES that are available.

Trusty Toolbox

 

One of my favorite products from the Jan/Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration brochure is the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper.  These cards were made using the paper - along with the Trusty Tools bundle from the Jan/April 2024 mini catalog from Stampin' Up!  The best thing about the paper is - it is FREE with a $50 Stampin' Up! order (through February 29,2024 or while supplies last.)

I love this bundle of products so much - because my husband is very handy, has lots of tools, and so I will be able to make some great cards for him.  PLUS we recently renovated our kitchen - and I will be able to use the stamp set and Designer Paper to scrapbook that major event in our lives.

Besides the cards in the photo above, I also made two extra special cards.  The first is this card - with a 3D tool box.



I cut the tool box from Copper Clay card stock using the dies, and embossed it with the Timber 3D embossing folder.  I added sides to the tool box - so that it pops away from the front of the card.  The tools were cut from the Designer Paper - and attached to the tool box with glue dots.  The cool trick here is that I used some of the partial pictures of tools from the edges of the paper! This would make a great gift card holder - you could tuck a gift card Lowe's or Home Depot right in the toolbox!

Here is another card I made using these products:

I made this type of "bench" card a few years ago - and knew it would work perfectly for a tool bench.  I just love the way it turned out.  The red part of the card is actually one of the pieces of designer paper - couldn't get any easier.  I made the peg board using one of the coordinating Trusty Tools dies - but there is also a piece of Designer Paper that looks like pegboard - which would make the card even easier to make.

Here is my original card:



And here is the video for how to make a bench type card:




And here is my kitchen.




Isn't is gorgeous?  I can't wait to scrapbook the renovation!

Countdown to Christmas - 11 months!


I can hardly believe that it has already been one month since Christmas!  These are some of the 76 cards that I sent out to friends and family.  I wonder if I can make100 cards by next Christmas!


If you would like to get started making Christmas cards - I am here to help!  The cards above are made using products that are still available as "online exclusives" while supplies last.  That means they are not featured in any current catalog - but they are still available to purchase in the online store.  BUT you do not have to order them online.  CONTACT ME - and I can add them to my next order.

Measurements to make this card:

Card Base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
Designer Paper: 2-1/4 x 4-3/4
White card stock piece for the stamped image: 2-1/2 x 4
Black card stock mats: 2-1/2 x 5 and 2-3/4 x 4-1/4

To make this card, I stamped the truck on a scrap piece of white card stock, then punched it out using the Trucking Along Builder Punch.  I stamped the tree on the piece of white cardstock, then attached the truck over the image using glue dots.  You could just stamp the truck - but I liked the look of the added dimension with the truck being a punched out piece.

Other things to note:
  • I colored the truck, tree, and one mailbox using Stampin' Blends.
  • I used Black and White 1/4" gingham ribbon on these cards. 
  • I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the layer with the truck.
  • I couldn't decide whether I liked everything straight - or whether I liked tilting the cards a bit.


Here is another Christmas card using these products:

There are so many other uses for this stamp set - besides just Christmas. Here's one idea:
