Nothing’s better than cocktails, right? Ok…not everyone drinks alcohol but Stampin’ Up!’s Nothings’ Better Than stamp set not only has cocktails, but it has chocolate, cookies and coffee too! You could easily switch this focal point and the corresponding sentiment on this card. This stamp set even has a coordinating die set called Love You More Than. So fun! When I’m crafting there is nothing better than a stamp set and dies that coordinate! This stamp set has some really fun sentiments in it and you can cut out the words cocktails, chocolate, cookies and coffe with the dies. Be sure to click the links above (name of stamp set or dies) and check them out. Too fun!
Connie Stewart, who designed these samples that inspired my card, helped design this stamp set! When a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator reaches the $1,000,000 milestone in career sales they get to help design a stamp set! How fun is that?! And no….I’m not even close. Ha!
You can see Connie’s samples to the left. Her projects were made using the Basic White Notecards & Envelopes. I needed more layers and more PINK on my card so I went with a full size card. The double circles (and the cocktail glass!) are what initially caught my eye on Connie’s cards. So cute, fun and retro! I love the little stars. They just say “1960’s” to me.
On Connie’s cards you can see how easy it is to use the same template or card sketch and just change the images and sentiments.
Here you can that I added my sentiment to the inside of the card instead of having it on the front. Just another one of those changes I made.
I was definitely inspired by these fun little samples but I didn’t stick very close to the original when making my card. That’s the fun of Make It Mine Mondays (or any other day)….you’re inspired and have that starting point for your project.
I hope you’re inspired. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
