Hello Crafty Friends!
I have a fun gate fold card for you this week that features a combination of two stamp sets: Carnival Treats and Latte Love.

For those of us that do enjoy a good "cup o' Joe", there's so many ways to make coffee these days! I'm sure that many of us have enjoyed a good coffee whether it's hot, iced, or frozen (Frappuccino).
My focus on today's card is a yummy Frappuccino and what better way to enjoy one than pairing it with a warm donut of your choice?! Don't worry about the calories for this card, they don't count!
Cardmaking Tips:
- To create the gatefold, begin with your Lost Lagoon Card Base which measures 4-1/4" x 11". Score the long side at 2-3/4" and at 8-1/4".
- You'll need (2) pieces of DSP that measure 2-5/8" x 4-1/8". Those pieces will be adhered to the card front/gates.
- For our little Frappuccino character:
 |
Ink up the image with Lost Lagoon ink. Use your Blender Pen to remove the ink from the straw then color the straw with the brush tip side of your Lemon Lolly Stampin' Write Marker. Stamp the image onto white cardstock then fussy cut. |
|
Stamp the (clean) image again using Pecan Pie ink onto the DSP that has the brown swirls design so you can fussy cut the 3 sections of the cup. Adhere with a little liquid adhesive. |
|
|
Stamp the face image from the Taco Fiesta stamp set onto the center of the cup with Memento Black ink. |
|
|
Use a white gel pen to draw the 2 curved lines for the top section of the Frappuccino. |
|
|
|
- For our little donut character:
 |
Stamp the image onto a white piece of cardstock using Pecan Pie ink. Use a 1-3/4" circle punch OR a circle die to cut out the donut. |
|
Stamp the image again using Calypso Coral and fussy cut the frosting. Adhere the frosting to the Pecan Pie donut. |
|
|
Stamp the face image from the Taco Fiesta stamp set onto the top of the donut with Memento Black ink. |
- After adhering the Frappuccino and the donut characters onto a white frame using dimensionals, I free-handed the 2 character's hands and feet with a pencil first to ensure I am happy with it. Then traced them with a Black Stampin' Write Marker.
- Use a Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend to create a shadow underneath each little character.
- The white frame was matted with a 3-3/8" - 4-5/8" piece of Lost Lagoon.
- The little Petal Pink hearts were punched out from the retired Confetti Hearts Border Punch (2016-2017 Annual Catalog).
- I carried over the same layout from the card front onto the inside of the card then stamped a couple of images from the Latte Love stamp set.
- While you have all your supplies out, go ahead and decorate your envelope so it's ready to send/hand out! It truly helps when you're pinched for time when you go to grab this card to give away!
