There’s nothing quite like the cozy warmth of a latte-inspired card! Today, I’m excited to share this charming greeting card using the A Little Latte 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the adorable Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Bundle. Whether you’re crafting for a coffee lover or just want to send some warm wishes, this card is sure to brighten anyone’s day.

Creating the Coffee Mug Magic

The focal point of this card is, of course, the coffee mug. I used the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends to color in the mug, giving it that soft, inviting hue. To bring out the details, I paired it with the Smoky Slate Blends for the spoon, keeping the colors simple yet striking – supplies listed below.

The coffee itself was stamped with the Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad, and for a fun twist, I die-cut the mug and spoon using the Latte Love Dies. You can see how the dies perfectly outline these elements, making them pop against the background.

Adding Splatter and Coffee Rings

To give the card some extra flair, I used the coffee rings pattern from the A Little Latte DSP and added the coffee splatter. This technique is super simple! I stamped with the Pecan Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad using the stamping-off technique, which lightens the ink for a more subtle look. It’s just the right touch to make those coffee rings feel realistic without overpowering the design.

Bringing it All Together

For the final details, I chose the Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim and stapled it to the top of the card. This adds a little texture and gives the card a fun, handmade feel. The sentiment from the Latte Love Stamp Set was die-cut using the Unbounded Love Dies, perfectly framing the words to balance out the design.
