30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 22

Good morning,

It's Friday and I'm so excited for the weekend, we have lots planned and we get to see our kiddo for Thanksgiving next week which is the best!

For today's gratitude card I decided pay homage to the beverage that most adults love on a daily basis, coffee!  And the Latte Love set is so fun!!

This card starts with Lost Lagoon cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper that's matted with Early Espresso cardstock.  I added a stripe of the coordinating DSP along the center of the cardfront and then wrapped a piece of Natural 3/8" Polka Trim around all the layers.

For the main stamped image I used the Latte Love bundle to stamp and color this fun coffee mg, complete with steam.  Once I cut the piece out with the coordinating dies I attached it to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is stamped in Early Espresso ink directly on the cardfront.  There's a cute splatter stamp in this set so I stamped it a couple of times behind the greeting using Pecan Pie ink that was stamped off once.  The final touch was to add a few Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots.

I have several friends who come to mind with this card so it will definitely get used.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #573 Latte Love

Good morning!

Today I decided to play along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge to make this fun thank you card using the Latte Love suite, which is an older Online Exclusive, but I haven't had a chance to ink up yet.

I started with Lost Lagoon cardstock for the cardbase and then added two pieces of DSP from the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper that's matted with a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock.

Before attaching to the cardbase I wrapped a piece of Natural 3/8" Polka Dot Trim at the angle and stamped the greeting repeatedly using Lost Lagoon Ink.

For the coffee cup I stamped the cup in Flirty Flamingo ink and colored it in with Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends (I was really careful around the lines so they didn't blead) and then used the coordinating dies to cut out the coffee cup and coffee top (which was stamped in Pecan Pie ink).  Dimensionals were used to pop the coffee up out of the cup.

Loving all the fun colors and textures in this card, perfect for letting someone know you appreciate them!
