These little zinnias are so cute! They’re cropped using dies in the Simply Zinnia Die Set. Today is the first time I used the Zinnia 3-D Embossing Folder. The embossed layer on my card is stunning! It’s hard to truly appreciate it in my photo, but when you actually use the Embossing Folder and see the results, you’ll say, “Wow”!
Although I’m drawing attention to some of the products in the Flowering Zinnias Suite (available in the Online Exclusives), I’m also showcasing three of the 2022-2024 In Colors that are retiring as of April 30th. Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, and Orchid Oasis will leave the Stampin’ Up! color family, only to be replaced by five new, on trend colors. There will also be a new color added to the Basics Collection – Basic Beige.
I am already imagining some wonderful color combinations using these new colors. I’ll be sharing these combinations with you in a new post.
So, let’s make a quick and easy card!
Parts And Pieces
The Orchid Oasis cardstock card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
The Basic White mat layer is 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″.
The embossed Orchid Oasis cardstock layer is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
I die cut the zinnias using Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White and Old Olive cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set. (The Stamp Set is retiring, however the Perennial Postage Dies will stay with us).
Attach the layers as shown, then attach the die cut elements as shown.
So, create an amazing embossed layer, attach it to a card base, add a few pretty die cut flowers and send love and best wishes to someone special.
This is my kind of card! I am a coffee drinker. Any type of coffee – latte, espresso, cappucino. I love them all. I look forward to making myself a hot cup of afternoon coffee, and heading back to my craft room.
The Latte Love Bundle and the “A Little Latte” Designer Series Paper are just two of the many new products that will be launched as Online Exclusives on March 5th. Product Details for the “A Little Latte” Suite Collection are at the end of this post.
This cup of cappucino reminds me of a trip to Italy a few years ago. I spent 13 days on the Almafi Coast. Each day, I would return to the hotel and go to the outdoor terrace. The view was spectacular. Pepe brought me my olives, cheese, and cappucino with a smiley face he created with the cream. It became a ritual and a memory I will always keep. I think I’ll dedicate this card to Pepe! I hope he is well, and still creating amazing smiley faces.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
I cut the Pecan Pie cardstock card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, and scored it at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
The Pecan Pie and white large background patterned paper layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
I cut three Calypso Coral cardstock mat layers for the focal point squares: The large square is 3 3/8″; the medium square is 2 1/2″; and the small square is 2 1/8″.
I cut the patterned paper squares for each of the layers as follows: The large square is 3 1/4″; the medium square is 2 3/8″; and the small square is 2″.
The coffee cup is die cut directly from the “A Little Latte” Designer Series Paper using the coordinating die from the Latte Love Dies.
I stamped and die cut the spoon from the Latte Love Bundle. I added a little color with my Pool Party Light Blend.
I used the small circle die, and one of the stamps from the Bundle for the sentiment layer.
The inside of the card is stamped with one of the sentiments from the Latte Love stamp set.
For my card design, I followed a sketch from Kendra Morgan and changed a few of the cutting dimensions.
