Welcome to the March 2024 Color Fusers blog hop where I am featuring a Peek-A-Boo Window card using products from the new A Little Latte Suite. This suite actually launches tomorrow, and is absolutely adorable! The striped paper from the designer series paper collection worked great for today’s color challenge, and it works perfectly on this clean and simple card.
Every quarter Stampin’ Up! releases a collection of products in our online store. These products are not featured in any catalog, and often contain some of my favorite things! As soon as I saw the A Little Latte Suite, I knew I was going to love it! I used the Latte Love Stamp Set to create a non-latte styled project, to show even more versatility from this suite.
Today’s project is what I would call clean & simple. It’s not fancy, but the Sweet Sorbet pops of color are really fun, and it’s a great way to feature your favorite designer series paper patterns. And by the way, if you love Sweet Sorbet, grab it now! This is one of our colors going away on April 30th!
And the Peek-A-Boo Window is so easy to create! Let me walk you through it….
To Create the Window
The window can be created using two coordinating sizes of any punch or die. First, I layered the card front pieces together, followed by a Decorative Circle punched piece. Next, I punched the center of the Decorative Label piece with a 1 3/4″ Circle Punch through all the front layers.
After creating the window, I stamped my image in the center of the opening, onto the inside of the card. You could also stamp a sentiment in this space as an alternative. It’s that easy!
Thank You

Welcome to the February 2024 Color Fusers Blog Hop where I am sharing a project made with the adorable It’s a Science stamp set.
This month, the talented Color Fusers Design Team is featuring a color theme of blues with purple. You will get a great look at 3 retiring colors, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, and Starry Sky. I have loved working with these colors, and if you love what you see today, I would grab them while you can! They retire in just a couple short months!
For today’s project, I stuck to the basics, to create a simple card. Stamping on Basic White cardstock really allows ink colors to pop, and the darker colors of this month’s color challenge really do create a pop of color! I love the simplicity, and was able to add in some fun elements, while sticking to the simple design.
To create interest, I used Wink of Stella with my Stampin’ Blends to add shimmer to the beaker contents, and glimmer bubbles coming from the beakers. The watercolored blue haze was easy to add using a Water Painter dipped in Tahitian Tide ink.
The bling elements finish it off nicely, created with Simply Elegant Trim and Rhinestones Basics Jewels.
To Create This Card
Card base – Thick Basic White cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Front layer – Basic White cardstock 5 x 3 3/4
Sentiment – Basic White cardstock 2 1/2″ x 5/8″
Stamp beakers across front layer. Color in contents with coordinating Stampin’ Blends. Add wink of Stella over the Stampin’ Blends coloring. Using Tahitian Tide ink and a Water Painter, add a bit of color at the top of each beaker to create blue haze. Stamp bubbles in Tahitian Tide ink, stamping off twice before stamping image. Add small dots of Wink of Stella to the blue haze, and rhinestones as desired. Tie a silver cord bow around front layer, then adhere front layer to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Starry Sky ink on Basic White strip. Punch end with Banner Pick-A-Punch, and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Thank You

And how fun is it to change up the colors! I brought in bright colors to make this playful and fun. I switched out the White Organdy Glittered Ribbon for Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon, and the Iridescent Foil Gems for Opaque Faceted Gems to coordinate with the colors.

Fold card base in half and burnish well. Splatter Wink of Stella on front layer and set aside to dry. Once dry, tie ribbon around layer, then adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp 3 donuts each, using Bubble Bath and Crumb Cake ink on Basic White cardstock. Fussy cut the Crumb Cake Donuts, and the pink frosting portion from the Bubble Bath donuts. Adhere the pink frosting over the Crumb Cake donuts. Arrange donuts onto front layer, and adhere in place.
