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.

"Coloring" with Designer Series Paper

This is a set of cards that I made using the In The Moment stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Jan/June 2022 mini catalog.  I used the Paper Piercing technique to do some of the "coloring" on these images.

First, I stamped the image on a piece of Basic White card stock.  Then I stamped part of the image on different pieces of designer series paper.


I used my Paper Snips to cut out different parts of the image.


Then I glued those pieces to the image on the white card stock.


Finally, I finished coloring the image using my Stampin' Blends.  I also used paper piecing for her top - but I would suggest NOT using black paper the first time you try this technique.  It was very difficult to see the outlines of the stamped imagine when cutting it out.


Below is the final card.  It is really cute in real life!  Earlier this week, I posted a video that shows you how to cut and score the card stock to make this card.  You can see that video and details for making the card BY CLICKING HERE.  I also explain the paper piecing technique in that video.

Here is the same card, made using different Designer Paper.

Quick and Easy card using Designer Paper - video tutorial

 


This is a quick and easy card that you can make using card stock, and almost any Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Below is a video tutorial for making this card.  (If you are viewing this in your email or on a mobile device  - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)

The cards below are very similar to the one I made in the video.  We made these cards at our online Bingo event earlier this fall.  I used retired oval and word dies to make these cards.


Basic directions:

Basic White Thick card stock base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Basic Black layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Designer Series Paper: 3-1/2 x 4-3/4

Put the designer series paper in the paper trimmer, holding it "portrait" style.
Cut off 2"
Turn the 2" piece you just cut  and cut again at 3-1/2; set both pieces aside
Turn the remaining strip of paper lengthwise and cut at 1-1/2

You should end up with 4 small pieces of DSP the following sizes:
1-1/2 x 1-1/2
1-1/2 x 3-1/4
2 x 3-1/2
2 x 1-1/4

Glue the pieces of Designer Paper to the black layer - leaving an even border.  Use the photo above as a guide.
Add a stamped greeting or image to the card front, as desired.
Add a small bow or other embellishments.

I hope you will give this card a try!  CONTACT ME if you have any questions.

Thanks for stopping by!
