As I’ve been acknowledging on my Facebook Live videos recently, the cost of living crisis is affecting all of us. Most of us crafters have a good stash of products, and can feel guilty for not using them up. I’m pledging this year to focus on using what I have on hand, sometimes combining it with some shiny new products to give a breath of fresh air. I hope this inspires you to embrace what you have and purchase the things you just can’t resist.
In that spirit, I pulled out my A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating Latte Love bundle and embellishments and had a multi-day play. You can see my first blog post about this here.
These two cards only have a few common elements…card bases and mats, a DSP layer, and the coffee cups cut from a sheet of DSP.
The size of the layers was 100% dictated by the size of the DSP pieces in my stash.
I’m not sure why the sentiment in the stamped coffee cup makes me so happy?
And the symmetry of the placement of the coffee cups and sentiment add just enough order to the “chaos” of the different latte art and background swirls on this one.
Again, the A Little Latte suite products are retired, but if you have it in your stash and need any staples like ink, cardstock or adhesives to be able to create with it, you can pick them up in my Online Store.
