Latte Love Card Tutorial

Posted on by

A good morning always starts with a cup of coffee and so when I saw the Latte Love Suite (Online Exclusive 163466) I knew it was one that I would enjoy creating with.

The Suite is filled with wonderful coffee feeling colors and images. And the fun set of dies not only cut out stamped images but also images from the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163453). And of course don’t forget if something in the suite is on backorder and it isn’t available right now, you can still get the other items and get the 10% discount on the Bundle.

Today’s card uses the same Sketch that I shared with you yesterday for the Cutest Cow Tutorial

and while it uses the same Sketch you can see just how different it looks.

This card uses the lovely A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163453) and pulls out the Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon from the patterns. A change up in the Circle Punches adds another layer of color that highlights the sentiment.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve got a video and PDF for you today.

And stop back by tomorrow when I will share another card tutorial with you – yes, it’s a full week of tutorials!

Today’s card uses one of our fun bundles from the Mini Catalog, the Cutest Cows Bundle (162897).

My card today also uses a sketch. You might be wondering what a sketch is. If you haven’t seen sketches yet, they are a basic design or layout for a card and you’ll be seeing some in our NEW 2024 Annual Catalog on page 22 and throughout the catalog.

Today’s sketch is a quick and easy one that uses punches, but the basic layout is versatile enough that you could swap out the punch for a die, etc – the options are endless with sketches. The sketch is simply to inspire you!

I’ve been sharing these with my Team and thought you’d enjoy them too so I’ll be sharing my sketches with you periodically and will include a PDF with the measurements so that you can create your own sketch to use as a tool. This PDF will allow you to create the sketch, full size, using card stock as a reference tool. You can put in in a “recipe” box or punch a hole in the corner and put them on a ring so you can flip through them. Or if you prefer print the PDF for a note book. The choice is yours! So why not try my sketch out today?
