Nothing's Better Than - Cinnamon Cider

I'm still having fun with this Northing's Better Than set.  It has so many possibilities.  I'm wishing I could eat some cookies, but I must stick to my diet.  This card uses the In-Colors Cinnamon Cider which is perfect for chocolate chip cookies, I think.  I have a workshop tomorrow, so I have everything but the cleaning house part.  So I'll make this quick with my instructions, so I can get back to work.

1.     The base of the card is Cinnamon Cider 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”.

3.    The Cinnamon Cider DSP is cut at 2-1/4” x 4” and a strip at ½” x 4”.

4.    Randomly stamp the outline cookie stamp on the Whisper White cardstock using Early Espresso ink.  For the center of the cookie using Cinnamon Cider ink.  Attach DSP at the bottom and the DSP strip over where they overlap.

5.    Die cut a Stitched Shape Circle from Whisper White cardstock.

6.    For the sentiment “Today is a Cookies kind of Day” put stamps on the block and use the Stampin’ Markers to color in the stamps.  Stamp on the Whisper White circle.

7.    Attach to the card front.

8.    On a Whisper White scrap, stamp another cookie and die cut it out with the Love You More Than Dies.  Attach with Dimensionals on half the circle and half off.

Nothing's Better Than

Cocktails, anyone?  Because Adulting is hard, "Cocktails" which I thought was a cute card so I cased it, but for the life of me, I don't remember who I cased it from.  I searched and searched.  I usually write it down to give credit to so if this was your card, let me know and I'll give credit to you.
The stamp set is called Nothing's Better Than from the annual catalog. The set can also be purchased as a Bundle to include the dies to save 10%. It uses the new In-Color Magenta Madness cardstock and DSP.  The drink looks so refreshing, doesn't it?  I used a Dauber to create different colors in the cocktail.  The sequins are from the Artistry Blooms Sequins.  The Designer Paper is the  6" x 6" In-Color fro 2020-2022 using the Magneta Madness strip.  The Embossing Folder is the Tasteful Textile 3D.  
Instructions for my card:
1.     The base of the card is Magenta Madness 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 adhered to the front of the card with Multipurpose Glue.
3.    The third layer is Magenta Madness cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and inserted into the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.
4.    The Designer Series Paper is cut at 2” x 3-3/4” and adhered to the front of the card Multipurpose Glue and leaving about 1 inch at the bottom of the card showing.
5.    Die-cut the second largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies on Whisper White cardstock.  Adhere it over the DSP with Multipurpose Glue.
6.    Ink up the cocktail glass outline stamp with Memento Black ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Die-cut it out with the Love You More Than Dies. 
7.    Using a Dauber in Magenta Madness, ink up the bottom of the beverage stamp (ice cubes).  Then use the other Dauber in Mango Melody for the top of the beverage.  Huff on it to give it moisture and stamp it onto the cocktail glass.
8.    Color in the lime with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the umbrella with Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker.
9.    Die-cut the word “Cocktails” from Basic Black cardstock and add it below the circle using Multipurpose Glue to adhere.
10.  Ink up the sentiment “Because Adulting is Hard” on Whisper White scrap.  Trim it out with the Paper Snips and add Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the top of the card.
11.   Add three sequins from the Artistry Blooms to the front of the card.

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!
