Stampin’ Up!’s Nothing’s Better Than Bundle

Since the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle arrived at my house last month, I’ve been plotting and planning to make a fun, retro card with the sweet coffee cups and fun sentiments in the bundle. Whether you love coffee or chocolate or cookies or cocktails, this bundle has a fun variety of delicious delights. I chose to compare “coffee” with a sentiment from another stamp set, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• A Fun Combination. Nothing’s Better Than combines passion about cookies, chocolate, coffee and cocktails with a fun, retro vibe. I love it! When Connie Stewart reached a million in sales with Stampin’ Up!, she inspired this set – and it has Connie’s personality all over it. Here’s a look at the bundle: I stamped the retro coffee cups with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then stamped the solid images in Seaside Spray and Petal Pink. I cropped the fun cups with the coordinating Love You More Than Dies. Here’s a closer look: There are some really great sentiments in this set that pair well with “coffee,” but I couldn’t help myself to search for another…and found it in the gorgeous, floral set called All Things Floral. Coffee really does “get me” so this sentiment is perfect! There’s a set of coordinating dies with this stamp set, and the combination is sold as a bundle.
• The Look of Embossing. We all have a little packing tape in our home office or craft space, right? It’s not only good at sealing a package for shipment – it can also be used to add shine to your favorite craft projects. I recently enjoyed a technique video by my friend Lydia on Splitcoast Stampers that showed this fun technique – just look at the shine on the word “coffee” that I cropped with the Love You More Than Dies:Here’s how I build “coffee” on my card:
  • I glued a small snip of Adhesive Sheets on a piece of Basic Black cardstock.
  • I added a strip of packing tape to the other side of the Basic Black cardstock.
  • I placed the die on the side with the packing tape and cropped it with my die cutting machine.
  • I pealed the Adhesive Sheet backing off the back of the word and glued it down.
• Sweet Color Combination. The background panel on this card could be the tabletop in your favorite old-time diner, don’t you think? Such fun! It’s pulled right from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.
