Nothing's Better Than

This stamp set Nothing's Better Than in the annual catalog was inspired by Million Sales Achiever Connie Stewart.  It is such a cute stamp set and it coordinates with Love You More Than Dies which can be purchased as a Bundle to save 10%. I made several items using this set by purchasing a tutorial from a fellow demonstrator, Margarita Hindman.  It is such a fun set because it screams a lot of things I love such as cookies, chocolate, coffee, and cocktails.  So if you like all those things, this set is for you too!   It has lots of sentiments to mix and match in all different ways.

Don't Stop Believin' - Shaving Cream

Have you done the shaving cream technique lately?  After doing my other card using the Feels Like Frost DSP for the background, I thought I'd like the background to look like spilled cocoa.  I put shaving cream on a paper plate, and then I used Crumb Cake ink refill randomly dropped in my shaving cream, swirled it with a stick, and laid my Shimmery White cardstock on top of it.  Then I scraped it off with an old spatula and let it dry on a paper towel.  I hadn't done this technique in a while and last time I used Glossy Paper, but Stampin' Up! doesn't carry it anymore.  I cut the cardstock 4" x 4" to add to my Balmy Blue cardstock.  I used this card for my swap this month.  It was such a fun card to make!
