Latte Love Card

Posted on January 5, 2025January 7, 2025 by Mo Rootes

I have been making a card using the Latte Love stamp set and dies and some pretty patterned vellum. This stamp set and dies are currently on sale in my online shop in the last chance list.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the latte love card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5½”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Floral and Gingham Vellum – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

The Vellum panel was adhered to the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I just applied liquid glue across the centre of the card as I knew this would be covered. The panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade card front.

A label was die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies from the 4¼” by 2½” panel of Basic White card.

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing step cards. I have used the Friendly Seagulls stamp set – can’t seem to get enough of this set, to make my card. This card was inspired by Teri Pocock

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the seagull step card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5½”
Bloom Impressions dsp – 5⅜” by 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 3⅛” by 2 ½”
Basic White card – 3” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 2½” by ½”
Scrap Basic White card

With the short side of the Thick Basic White card at the top and the left side lined up at 2 ¾” I cut a slit from 1¾” to 7½” – down the centre of the card.

I wanted my ‘steps’ on the left side of the card to accommodate the birds who are looking right I adapted Teri’s scoring instructions. With the long side of the card base at the bottom of my Trimmer I scored, up to the central cut, at 1¾”, 3½”, 5, 6½” & 7½”. Rotating the base to the opposite long side I scored at 4¼”. I folded the single central fold inwards. The folds on the right side were then folded in concertina fashion.

Placing the long side of the Bloom Impressions dsp on my Trimmer I cut down from the top to ⅞”, turned the panel to the short side and cut at ⅞” to the meet the other cut. The excess panel was removed and 2 pieces cut from it at 2⅝” by 1⅜” and 2⅝” by 1⅝”. All 3 panels of dsp were then adhered to the Thick Basic White card front.

The chip stealing seagull was stamped onto the 3” by 2⅜” piece of Basic White card in Pebbled Path ink. I added the ‘sand’ across the bottom and the birds in flight at the top using the same ink. A Blending Brush was used to add Azure Afternoon ink around the top and sides of the panel. The bird was coloured with dark Daffodil Delight and light and dark Smoky Slate Blends Pens. The chips were coloured with light Crumb Cake and light Lemon Lolly Blends Pens, the light Lemon Lolly was also used to add colour to the sand. The whole panel was glued to the Pebbled Path layer and the whole piece was glued to the card front.

The other 2 seagulls were stamped onto scrap Basic White card, these were fussy cut using sharp Scissors and coloured with the same Blends Pens. One seagull was then glued to each of the steps.
