Oh my goodness, I think this is one of the cutest stamp sets in the new catalog! And for me, it’s one of the most true!! It’s called Nothing’s Better Than, and it gives several different options for what might fill in the blank for “Nothing’s Better Than ______.” I just had to make this card with my choice of CHOCOLATE!!!!! I LOVE CHOCOLATE! The other choices are cookies, coffee and cocktails, but for me, it’s clearly CHOCOLATE!!
The stamped candies are so cute! Here I stamped them in Early Espresso ink and colored them in with Blender Pens and 3 of the new 2020-2022 In Colors, Bumblebee, Magenta Madness, and Cinnamon Cider. Here in California we have a chocolate company called See’s Candy. I was raised on See’s Candy! I know most of the shapes and colors, and even what’s inside! My favorite is the chocolate buttercream ~ yumm!
For this card, I made a tag using Magenta Madness card stock and stamped the word “chocolate” repeatedly down the tag in Magenta Madness ink. I used the Stamparatus to get the words evenly spaced. A piece of Vellum was laid over the tag and a piece of Whisper White card stock cut with a scalloped border die (from the Peony Dies) was placed at the top over both pieces. The tag was adhered at an angle over a Square Vellum Doily.
After the candies were colored, they were cut and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to a Stitched Oval. That was also adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. The other small sentiments were stamped in Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock, trimmed with Paper Snips and adhered to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few enamel dots were added for bling.
So, which of the words will you choose? Nothing’s better than ___________ … chocolate? cocktails? coffee? or cookies? Let me know in a comment below which word you would choose and why.
This fun stamp set comes as a bundle with coordinating dies! I don’t have the dies yet, but I did just order them, so you’ll be seeing them on here pretty soon!
