My Let’s Catch Up Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Let’s Catch Up Card using the Latte Love Bundle and the Coffee with Friends Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! I thought it would be fun to combine them onto one card! They were just meant to be together! Lol!

The Details of My Let’s Catch Up Card

For my card, I decided to create a “polaroid” of the girls like a reminder for them to get together and catch up. As an alternative to colouring them, I embossed them with white embossing powder on Calypso Coral. Then, I die cut them out using the largest stitched square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Early Espresso for my first card but found it too dark (see top right card in photo below). So, I switched it up with the Calypso Coral. I tweaked another card (bottom) until I landed on my finished design (top left).

Since I made a “polaroid”, I had the perfect space to add the Lost Lagoon sentiment. For the Pecan Pie coffee drips, I stamped off before stamping them onto the Basic White so that they didn’t interfere with the other elements.

I loved that one of the Latte Love Dies cut out the coffee cups in the DSP! I made this card for a swap, and I had different coffee cups on my cards!

Next, I added a plaid flag with the Stylish Shapes Dies that had Calypso Coral in it to tie in my colour scheme and to balance the coffee cup.

I decided to place my focal point at an angle to fit all my elements onto the card. I layered this onto a piece of Pecan Pie that I embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. You could also use the new So Swirly Embossing Folder, but I didn’t have that yet. Lol! Another piece of the DSP was placed so that it just peeked out from behind the focal point and tied in the Lost Lagoon colour.

Finally, I finished the card with a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to add a fun element to my card.
