• Last Chance List with up to 60% savings on retiring items begins 9 April 2024
• New In Colors Announced - coming 1 May in the new Annual Catalog

I'm again highlighting some of the swaps I received from the talented Demonstrators who attended the Stampin' Up! live OnStage event here in Houston, Texas 14-16 March 2024.   Each of these cards is a fun-fold card showcasing the Latte Love Stamp Set and Die Bundle, Item 163461|$46.75 (currently available), and A Little Latte 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, Item # 173453|$12.50 (currently available).  All are from the A Little Latte Suite Collection, Item #163466|$77.25 USD expected to return to stock the week of April 22, 2024.   The good news is that most of these cards can be created with the the Stamp Set and Die Bundle and the Designer Series Paper that are currently available from the Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives Site. 

This first card, below, is a fun fold card that measures 5-1/2 X 8" and is scored and folded into four 2" panels.  The basecard is Calypso Coral.  It is decorated with:

• two 5-1/4 X 1-3/4" panels of one of the Early Espresso prints from the A Little Latte 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper
• four 1-1/8" X 1-7/8 prints on the upper and lower center sections  

To create the fun folds:  

• One the 8" side, score at 2" and 6" 
• On the 5-1/2" side, line up the Paper Trimmer at 1-1/4" and cut between the 2" and 6" score lines.  Flip the card and do the same at the other end.
• One the 8" side, line up the Paper trimmer at 3" and 5", and score between cut lines only
• On the 8" side, line the paper up at 4". On the the Paper Trimmer, and score above and below the cut lines only.

The center pop-up section is decorated with a piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock cut to 1-3/4 X 2-3/, and decorated with images and sentiments from the Latte Love Stamp Set and Dies. 

Thanks to Brenda Sprenger from HSBrighspot.com for this charming card.
