Latte Love & Coffee with Friends for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-June 2024

Posted on by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop crew today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a sketch challenge this month. The image inspired me and I immediately saw the possibility of a Fun Fold. I really love to figure out new ways to make a card!

I absolutely love coffee! There are so many good memories related to relaxing with a cup of delicious coffee. For this Fun Fold card I used two stamp sets- Latte Love & Coffee with Friends. You can find Coffee with Friends in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-26 Annual Catalog. The Latte Love is an Online Exclusive.

Each of these stamp sets has images that can be used for a multitude of handmade cards. I chose the women sitting on the steps with her cup of coffee because it reminded me of myself. I love to contemplate life with a hot cup of rich savory coffee!

There are several great dies to accompany the Latte Love stamp set. I only used the outline of the cup.

The “A Little Latte” Designer Series Paper is so fun with several designs!

Thinking about possibilities for Sketch 105 led to the creation of this unique Fun Fold.

Hello, my name is Theresa. I have 4 children and a wonderful husband of 32 years. I am a retired Family Physician. I love having time now to create and craft, so much so that I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I have been a demonstrator more than 8 years and am having a blast! Not only do I get to craft, I meet new friends from all over the world! Crafting gives me something positive to do and to share with others. I love to have my monthly Zoom Card Making Classes so others can craft with me. I have so much fun creating the cards for others to make! My blog was initially geared toward the beginner stamper in order to help others get started stamping on their own at home. If you need information to get started, look for my first blogs. My more recent posts have been cards and projects for Blog Hops and challenges. Stop by to see my projects and those of folks from around the world! Add more creativity to your life today!
