I don’t know which I love more in the Stampin’ Up! A Little Latte suite – the retro cool colors (Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink) or the mini coffee cup dies. Either way, this luscious suite landed on the list of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! On-Line Exclusives (a limited release so purchase it while you can)!

WHAT I LOVE! The little details tell so much. These little coffee cups crop cleanly (there’s even an added cut for the rim) and the “coffee” is “brewed” with another perfectly sized elliptical die. A coordinating single Swirled Dot is an artful touch and dresses up the Lost Lagoon cup.
