This has been one of my all-time favorite suites from Stampin' Up!® not just because I am a coffee lover, but because of the endless possibilities between the stamp set, dies and paper. The Latte Love stampset will always be on my shelf. If it is not on yours yet, don't delay. It is currently on the "Last Chance" list so once it sells out, it is gone. And it is currently on sale..... you heard me, on sale!

Wow!!! I can't believe that 2025 is right around the corner. They say that life is like a roll of toilet paper.... the closer you are to the end, the faster it goes. I am hoping I am nowhere near the end (I still have too many stamping projects to do) but it sure is going fast!
Let me introduce you to the easiest desktop calendar/sticky note easel this side of the Mississippi! I even taught this in one of my Sip and Stamps here in central PA. They loved it. And imagine the gifts you can make. The design is so versatile. Just change out the stampset based upon your recipient. Got a motorcycle enthusiast?? Use the "Legendary Ride" stampset. Got a crafty friend?? Use the "Crafting with You" stampset. Need any help with ideas?? Just shoot me an email at CardZenByJen@yahoo.com. I love a good challenge!
**As you will hear in the video, if you are using a tear-off calendar, do not make your sentiment seasonal. Meaning, no merry Christmas or autumnal scenes. It will be on their desk or counter year-round so you want it to be something they can look at every day.
I have loved making this calendar over the years and I know you will too!
Items Used:
2¼" x 3" tear-off calendar
3" x 3" sticky notes

If you have followed my past designs you have probably caught on that I have two favorite Stampin' Up! color combinations: Night of Navy/Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie/any pink.... any!! So it is no big surprise that I am combining the Pumpkin Pie and the new SU color Pretty in Pink for today's creation.
The Spotlight on Nature dies can be used for any stamp set, any design since they are not directly related to the images in the coordinating stamp set. They are decorative circles that offer such great versatility. I love when I can buy something and can use it for so many projects.
