It’s almost time for the September – December 2024 Mini (Holiday) Catalog, that means it’s time to reserve your Holiday Product Shares! These are only offered for a short time before a catalog launches, and is the best way to receive a little of everything from the catalog.
Product Shares – a product share is a partial pack of products, grouped and packaged for easy use. Because, let’s face it, we all love having all the new things! This is perfect for trying a little of everything at a fraction of the cost..
Paper Samplers – paper samplers are creative tools used to display a paper collection, or to use as a reference while you are crafting. These are invaluable to coordinate products while you are working. Each collection set features all the paper patterns, the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors in a compact tool. The best part….once you no longer want the sampler, you can pull it apart and use the paper to create!
Details
Paper share includes 1/4 pack of each new paper collection.
Most 12″ x 12″ paper collections are cut 6″ x 12″ with some exceptions. Paper collections that are 6″ x 6″ are full size.
Each paper collection is packed separately for easy reference and storage.

Thanks for joining us for the August Color Fusers Blog Hop where I am actually CASEing myself using the Latte Love Bundle.
Recently, I shared projects featuring the A Little Latte Suite on my Facebook page. I loved this simple card, and the pops of color created by coloring the coffee cups with Stampin’ Blends Markers. So today, I decided to change up the colors. The original had bright, bold colors. However, today’s project features the soft colors of the color challenge.
This card is pretty simple. Any good color combination would look great! The original featured 6 colors, and today’s features only 3. However, the project is still so sweet, with pops of color to keep it fresh and fun.
Wondering what the original project looked like? Here it is!
On the original, I stamped the latte foam using Basic Beige ink. However, on today’s project, I heat embossed the foam using clear embossing powder, then added a bit of Basic Beige ink over the top using a Blending Brush.
To Create Today’s Project:
Card Base: Thick Basic White – 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Front Layer: Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Sentiment: Basic White – 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″
Stamp (6) coffee cups in black ink on front layer. Color with Stampin’ Blends Markers of choice. Stamp latte foam in Versamark ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Lightly color foam with Basic Beige ink and a Blending Brush. Adhere layer to card front. Stamp sentiment in black ink on white cardstock. Die cut with coordinating die from the Latte Love die set, and adhere inside cup with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a black twine bow, and gems as desired. Stamp sentiment inside card in black ink.
