NOTHING’S BETTER THAN - PART 2

NOTHING’S BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE

(EXCEPT, MAYBE COCKTAILS)

Hello, everyone! I am still having so much fun with the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. For today’s cards I used the cocktails stamps. I did a lot of  Two- Step Stampin’ ®️ to fill in the outlined images with lots of color!

This is what I call a 2in 1 card, because two cards come together to make one.  The smaller card measures 3 1/2” x 3 1/2”; and the larger card is an A-2 size (5 1/2” x 4 1/4”).

Here is what you need to make the 2 in 1 card:

Card base (larger card) of Basic Black that measures 5 1/2” x 10”; scored at 4 1/4” and 8 1/2”

Another card base that measures 3 1/2” x 7”; scored at 3 1/2”

1 piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 4” x 5 1/4” for the inside of the larger card.

3 pieces of Whisper White cardstock that measure 2 3/4” square for stamping your images and greeting for the smaller card.

3 pieces of Basic Black cardstock 3” square.

3 pieces of Magenta Madness cardstock 3 1/4” square

1 piece of DSP (Flowers For Every Season) 4” x 5 1/4” and 1 piece that is 1 1/4” x 51/4”

1 piece of ribbon (2020-2022 In Color - Magenta Madness) 22” long

The photos above show where I stamped the images and sentiments. When assembling the card front, cover the larger card with the DSP, the adhere the smaller card base to the right hand panel placing adhesive only on the right side on the card back. Smaller card opening should face left. Position the Ribbon in place prior to adding the Magenta Madness layer to the card.

Here is a little different take on the 2 In 1 Card. The larger card base is exactly the same as the 2 In 1 Card, but instead of a smaller card attached to the front, there is simply a focal panel centered and mounted on a 3 1/2” square piece of cardstock.

Earlier I mentioned all be Two - Step Stampin’ ®️; first stamp the outline, then use the solid image to add color. To get a 2 toned or multi-colored cocktail, I first inked one color at the top of the stamp and another one toward the bottom of the stamp!

I hope you have enjoyed the sample cards using the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. I hope the cards have provided you with greatinkspirations!

Until next time...

Stamp Happy
