Nothing’s Better Than…Cocktails!

This is one of my FAVORITE sets because it is fun AND so versatile! You can choose from cocktails, chocolate, coffee, and/or cookies and the sentiments are GREAT! I posted a cookies card and a coffee card using this set earlier this year.

This stamp set and matching dies are on page 20 of the 2022 Annual Catalog.

I love that there are stamps to fill in the colors of the cookies, cocktail glass, coffee cup, and chocolates, but for this card, I decided to color the cocktail glasses. I used Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Melon Mambo. These alcohol markers are great for blending because you get a light shade and a dark shade. I used a Copic marker in a really light blue-green (BG10) for the glass itself. The card base is Melon Mambo, and the background paper is an hombre Granny Apple Green designer series paper that is now retired. There is a stamp for the word Cocktails, but I decided to die cut the word out of Melon Mambo cardstock. Using Stampin’ Up’s adhesive sheets to cut out “cocktails” was great because it is so hard to put adhesive on words and not make a mess! The adhesive sheets turn your die cuts into stickers.

Here is another take on this card using coffee as the theme. The card base and designer paper are Really Rust, a retired color. The top die is also retired, but the bottom die is from the new Stylish Shapes Dies. I LOVE the stitched look.

Love You More Than Cookies Card

I made this card for Michael’s birthday; we love our cookies! I really love this stamp set because it can be used in SO many ways. Love you more than…cocktails. Or chocolate. Or coffee. Or make a card that says Today’s Plan: Consume chocolate (or cocktails, or cookies, or coffee). I stamped the cookie outline in Early Espresso ink, then the fill color in Soft Suede ink, after “stampin off” to make it lighter. The card stock is Blushing Bride and Soft Suede.

I love the stamp that says, “Because adulting is hard.” I also love the fact that you get the stamps to color the inside of the cocktail, cookie, chocolate, or coffee cup. That makes these cards so quick and easy. The Love You More Than die set cuts out the cookies and the words.

You can see another card using this set here.

Is there anything more relaxing than a cup of tea? This card features the new Cup of Tea stamp and die bundle from Stampin’ Up! I made a criss cross card with the matching designer paper, which features the new In Colors; I focused on Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide.

I definitely need my morning coffee! If you know someone like that, this is the perfect card! The stamp set is called Nothing’s Better Than, and it makes the cutest (and funniest!) cards. The colors are Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Basic White, and black. I used the Textures & Frames set to stamp the circles and embossed the matte with the Maps, Etc. Textured Impressions embossing folder. This is such a versatile set, because you can focus on coffee, cookies, and/or cocktails.
