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.

Timeless Tulip - Two Toned

I love tulips and I love two-toned tulips, so I made a card using this technique. This is a new set called Timeless Tulips which can be purchased with the Tulip Builder Punch to save 10%.  It makes me think of Spring which can't get here soon enough.  It's my favorite season.  First I inked up the tulip in Mango Melody ink.  Then I took a Dauber and inked it up with Poppy Parade ink to get the two-toned effect.  

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Timeless Tulips (2020 January-May Mini) Page 43
Cardstock:  Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Whisper White
Ink:  Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green
Other:  Big Shot, Coastal Weave Embossing Folder, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Tulip Builder Punch, ½” Textured Weave Ribbon Granny Apple Green, Glue Dots, Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals, Multipurpose Glue, Snail Adhesive

1.     The base of the card is Granny Apple Green cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Mango Melody cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine.  Adhere to the front of the card with Adhesive.
3.    The third layer is the Granny Apple Green cardstock.  Use the largest Stitched So Sweetly Scallop die rectangle in the die-cutting machine to cut it out.
4.    The Whisper White cardstock is cut at 2-9/16” x 3-3/4”.  Ink up the large tulip with Mango Melody ink.  Take the Sponge Dauber and ink it up with Poppy Parade around the edges of the stamp.  Huff on it before you stamp on the upper-middle Whisper White cardstock.  Do the same with the two smaller tulips and stamp them lower than the large tulip on either side.
5.    Ink up the stems and leaves with Granny Apple Green ink.
6.    On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, do another large tulip as before and punch it out with the Tulip Builder Punch.  Put Dimensionals on the back and adhere to the first large tulip.
7.    Tie a faux bow with the ½” Textured Weave Ribbon and adhere to the bottom with a Glue Dot.  Leave on the reel as you tie and cut it off with the ribbon scissors.
8.    Adhere stamped image to the Granny Apple Green Scalloped Rectangle with Multipurpose Glue or Snail Adhesive.

Butterfly Gala - Mango Melody

Glad to be through the cold month of January and time to creating cards for Valentine's but first I had to make one more card with the butterflies because I enjoyed the blue one I made yesterday.  This time I used Mango Melody which is a color I'd never really used.  I also used the Stampin' Blends Mango Melody to color in my butterflies.
Here are my complete instructions:
1.     The base of my card is Mango Melody cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and layered onto the base card with adhesive.
3.    The third layer is Basic Black cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and inserted into the Subtle TIEF in the Big Shot.
4.    The banner is 2” x 5” cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and use the Banner Triple Punch at one end.  Glue onto the center of the Basic Black cardstock.
5.    Wrap the 5/8” Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the Basic Black cardstock and layer the ¼” Striped Black/Silver Ribbon over it.  Tape it back with Scotch tape.  Attach to the front of the card with adhesive.
6.    Ink up the sentiment with Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Oval.   Die cut a scallop from Mango Melody cardstock.  Layer together with adhesive.
7.    Ink up the butterflies with Memento Black ink and stamp on Whisper White cardstock.  Color them in with the Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.  Use the Butterfly Duet Punch to punch them out and attach the small butterfly with a Glue Dot and large butterfly with Snail and a Dimensional at an angle.
