Why Haven't I Used That?

In my attempt to get myself creating and blogging again and more regularly, I've decided to give myself a theme for three days of the week. That way, I have an idea of what to make and maybe a little direction but it also ensures that I have a reason to put something on my blog at least three times a week. While I was trying to decide what in the world I should do for these themes, I was flipping through my stamps (which are all very well organized thanks to lock downs). I kept flipping by sets that I purchased but never even used. It wasn't that I didn't like them still. I just got caught up in something else and before I knew it, there was another product to buy or use and I forgot that I even owned the other. With that in mind, I have decided to declare Wednesdays, Why Haven't I Used That? day. 

I'm going to make and post a card using a stamp set, die set, or any other product that I bought, still love, and have no idea why I haven't made a card using it yet. I know I'm not alone in this and I would LOVE it if you guys would join me and share a link to your creation in the comments. I'd love to check out what you have created and get more people using their poor un-inked sets. Let's do it for the poor abandoned products!

Here's my first take:

I bought this Taylored Expressions Stamp & Die set way back in 2017. I have no idea how I haven't used it because I love coffee cards SO much. I'm going to blame it on not being very well organized. Regardless, it got some ink today! I created a background by repeating my coffee cup image all over the card. Then I stamped and cut out an image and a cup sleeve with the die set. After coloring that image, I popped it on the card front with some foam tape for dimension. I was going to leave the other cups plain but it just wasn't how I expected it to look so, colored them in using lighter colors. That was exactly what I was going for. Here's a closer look:

Thanks SO much for checking out my card today and I hope you'll grab something un-inked in your own stash. I'd love to see what you create so, please share in the comments so I can hop on over to your blog and check it out. Have a great week!
