Aluminum Lattice-recycled Sprite can and the Big Shot
Okay, I am hooked on using recycled soda cans and my Big Shot in my crafting projects! If you’ve missed my previous posts and how-to video, please check the postings for 12/09 and 12/12.

I created this card for a swap with my fellow ABQ Stampin’ Up! the Nacho Average Stampers. The theme was “thank you”, just in time to send out right after Christmas. Actually, I was very glad to create something that did not have Christmas colors or a Christmas theme in it. I like Christmas as much as anybody, but it seems like I’ve been creating Christmas cards, gifts, and various other Christmas projects for months now! Time to move on to Spring!
Anyway, this card was made using a recycled Sprite can, my Big Shot, and Lattice die.
I struggled with this card.
Since it was going to be swapped with other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, I thought I needed to go all out with brads, ribbons, different Designer Series Paper etc, etc, etc. I always feel a little intimidated when I swap cards with the very, very talented ladies in the Nacho Average Stampers group! I was stressing over the design, and my husband reminded me that the focus should be on the aluminum lattice, not the other stuff. He is always my touchstone and gives me the best advice. So, I toned the design down and I like how it came out. I especially like how the yellow in the Sprite can match the In Color Crushed Curry. I hope the girls like it!
