Nothing's Better Than

How much fun is this stamp set? It was introduced almost 2 years ago with a coordinating die set. If you are a coffee, chocolate or cocktail loving person, you might want to look closer at this set and dies. 

I will admit to being a chocolate-aholic so this set spoke to me. The stamp set is a 2-step set, meaning that the outline is one stamp and the insides are another stamp, giving you chance to color in without having to color. Perfect for those that don't like coloring. 

The background is called the crinkled background. You can watch the replay of my Facebook live where I created this card HERE to see how to do the crinkled background. To do this technique, start with a piece of Basic White cardstock. Crinkle it up. Yep, wad it up in a loose ball. Flatten it out a bit and then take an ink pad and drag it across this cardstock so that the peaks of the cardstock collect the ink. Wad the cardstock up again, this time into a tighter ball. Flatten it out and drag a darker color across it this time. I used Bermuda Bay and Early Espresso for this card.

Bumble Bee

You might remember that I was focusing on each of the new colors in the fall months. If you remember that, you may remember that I never shared my Bumblebee cards. Well, better late than never!

I love the cheeriness that comes with yellows. There is so much warmth and happiness that yellow brings to the table. I knew I had to make a tropical card. I used Timeless Tropical for my first card. I stamped the hibiscus flower on the Whisper White cardstock after it was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I used my Old Olive and Early Espresso markers to color on the rubber the palm trees and then stamp them over the top of the hibiscus. The "Aloha" is covered in Wink of Stella.


The color combination for this card is very simple, Bumblebee and Whisper White with a hint of Cinnamon Cider. The use of the designer series paper helps to add interest to the card. The stitched shape makes it a playful card. Seriously, isn't everyday a chocolate kind of day?!?


I used Blends to color the pitcher and flowers. I used Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight. The cotton has Wink of Stella on it. The Tin Tile embossing folder has the same rustic feel  to complete this card.


I hope you enjoyed the creations I shared for all of the new In Colors (Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight, and Bumblebee). I will be sharing cards that I am creating with the outgoing In Colors (Purple Posy, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Rococo Rose). Stay on the lookout for these fabulous colors! You only have until the end of April to get them or until supplies run out!

Happy Stampin'!
