Remnants

Hi friends! I've been in the process of trying to pull all my fall and winter crafting supplies together in  one place in an attempt to convince myself that I don't need to buy any of the new autumn and Christmas themed goodies coming out.  (Haha... I'm sure it won't work as well as I hope it will!) Anyhow, as I was rummaging through drawers I found a baggie of "leftovers" from previous year projects and thought I'd challenge myself to use up some of these things.


First was this portion of a Starbucks cup from a couple years ago. I used part of it on a card back in 2015 and this already Copic colored panel was leftover, but way too precious to throw out.  I matted it with early espresso cardstock and was pleasantly surprised to see the aqua matched beautifully with a distress oxide background I made a few days back.


Next I pulled a pre-stamped and diecut sentiment from the baggie.  This one was from the Autumn Leaves stamp set by Verve. (sniff, sniff)  I cut a little banner to layer behind it and tied some linen thread around ti to make it look a bit like a sign.

Next I pulled out the darling Karen Burniston Coffee Charms die set and put together a sweet little to go cup to hang from the thread.  I finished with a bit of old paper distress oxide around the edges, a paper flower and some rhinestone embellishments.

Oh, sweet Julee, you sure do know how to use remnants well! I do remember that Starbucks card and love how you've this leftover (just love how leftovers work perfectly). The sweet little latte die is darling, and I love the beautiful sentiment! Yes, sniff/sniff is right. Miss Verve, but I know that your precious boys are flourishing and that you will continue to inspire us always, my friend! Been super busy doing a partial bathroom renovation - fun...not! LOL! Sending love and hugs! xoxo

That panel is so yummy! And the BG smooshing. I love the blue & brown mix of color, one of my faves. This is gorgeous - Julee style. :-)
