A few months ago I started holding a monthly “Suite Escape” at my Stampin’ Studio for local stampers. What is a Suite Escape? It’s a monthly class where each month I feature one of the product suites found in the catalogs. A product suite is a group of products that are designed to go together. This event is like a mini retreat at my Stampin’ Studio. The stampers move from station to station at their own pace as they create four wonderful projects using products from the featured suite. I also package up a little home made “sweet” treat to snack on as the stampers escape from the reality of everyday life. This month featured the Coffee Break Suite shown on pages 30 & 31 of the Annual Catalog.
This is one of the cards we made. The sentiment comes from the Coffee Cafe’ stamp set and the polka doted paper and the coffee pot and cups are from the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. Just a little bit of fussy cutting around the pot and cups which are attached to a couple layers of circles from the Layering Circles Framelits with Stampin’ Dimensionals and you’ve got a great focal point for a fun card to send a friend. I love the little bit of flair the the heart and dot Enamel Shapes add to the card.
Over the next few days I’ll be sharing the other cards we made at the Coffee Break Suite Escape.
