Happy Friday everyone, So good to come to the weekend. I’ve got a coffee inspired card for you with the Latte Love bundle.
I kept this card quite clean with lots of white space and created a light background around the coffee cup using Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie.
I coloured the coffee cup and the beans in Stampin’ Blends and added some extra detail using Watercolour Pencils.
The cup was embellished with some flowers from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack which had such beautiful tones to complement my card. Of course, some coffee beans had to be added along with the Swirl Dots which come in a mix of coffee blends (really, if you have them you know what I’m talking about). These dots are lovely neutral colours and work with so many projects and I’ve gone through a few packs of these.
Don’t forget until 31st July every $90 you spend will earn you a $9 coupon during our Bonus Days promotion. Add the Latte Love bundle and the Ephemera Pack to an order and that will automatically qualify you for a coupon. The more you shop, the more you earn.
The Great International Craft Show continues tomorrow. All Live classes are free. It started on Thursday and I’ve been holding a class each day at 2:30 pm. If you are free on Saturday, please join me in the classroom HERE.
Have a fantastic weekend.

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop where we have a sketch challenge for May. This is my favourite type of challenge and I’ve given the Latte Love bundle a bit of a twist with some new products.
If you are new to our blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from different parts of the world and on the 2nd Wednesday of each month we share inspiration with you using our beautiful products centred around a particular theme.
When I selected the Latte Love bundle as the product I wanted to use with this sketch, I didn’t anticipate going in the direction which my project took me. As I started creating, I wanted to create a different look with this mug to those I had previously made. I decided to replicate a beautiful Bone China style mug with watercoloured flowers – similar to something you would use at high tea.
To achieve this I stamped the mug in Crumb Cake ink, stamped off, on Fluid 100 Cardstock. Then I took the floral corner stamp from the Country Flowers stamp set, masked off a section, and stamped the floral image onto the mug with Crumb Cake ink stamped off. Using a Blender Pen, I worked on the watercolouring of the flowers, mug and coffee.
The outline of the stamped image was quite faint and I did improvise a little bit with the flowers and leaves where I couldn’t see the image too well. This didn’t matter as it lent to the watercoloured look I was aiming for.
The handle was stamped separately in Versamark and heat embossed in Gold. Once watercoloured, I attached this to the cup. For the saucer, I used the Round We Go dies, watercolouring the base and adding a Gold embossed centre for a matching set with my cup.
Some leaves from the Citrus Blooms dies fill in around the handle and the sentiment. A simple Gold bow and Pretty in Pink Resin Dots completed my vision for this card.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by my part of the world in Melbourne today and I hope you have been inspired by my card. I would love for you to leave me a comment as you hop through to see Cheryll Miller‘s beautiful project.
For the Caseing a Catty Sunday Challenge. CTC466 challenge was to CASE our favourite mini catalogue project. It’s always hard to pick one. So I chose my favourite suite from the January – April mini and picked one of the projects from it.
The Rock & Roll suite had me from the minute I opened the catalogue. Gravitating to any music related product it was immediately ‘Add to Cart’. I’ve CASED the layout of this project from Page 54 of the Mini Catalogue using the Latte Love bundle.
I started with the cup which was stamped in Early Espresso and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. To follow the sketch with the 2 guitars, I also added the perculator.
I added a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper behind the images and offset it with Early Espresso Cardstock. For the narrow strip at the back, I stamped the coffee beans in Misty Moonlight and blended the White Cardsttock with Misty Moonlight and Pecan Pie ink.
On the base I added an extra layer of Cardstock. This was stamped with the coffee stains and then embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. Then I blended Misty Moonlight ink around the piece to create some depth against the card base.
The sentiment has been die cut with a label die from the Unbounded Love dies which is one of my must-haves from the new catalogue.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop. Thank you for stopping by and visiting me in Melbourne where it’s the early hours of Monday morning. I’ve got a fun layout to share with you using the A Little Latte suite which is a new Online Exclusive product.
This suite is perfect for those coffee lovers and would definitely work for hot chocolate fans too. I particularly love the cute little coffee art.
I’m following the page layout from Sketch n Scrap #292 and I used the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper exttensively, right down to die cutting some of the cup images.
All the pieces of the perculator were die cut from Basic White Cardstock and coloured in with a combination of Stampin’ Blends. For the glass piece I added some light Pecan Pie blending to give the look of coffee through glass.
I matte the 2 photo mounts on Early Espresso and Pecan Pie Cardsttock to have contrast against the background layers. A few coffee beans scattered around complete this page which is perfect for filling in with some images of a coffee date with a friend.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today and I hope you have enjoyed what I have shared with you. Please follow our hop through for more scrapbooking inspiration.
