colour me happy: Chocolate and cookies make everything better

Handmade cookies and chocolate themed all occasions card made with Stampin Up Nothing's Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than die set. Card by Di Barnes - Independent Demonstrator in Sydney Australia - colourmehappy - cardmaking - stamping - stampinupaustralia

Hello & welcome.

Today I have a fun, just because card to share with you made with the Nothing's Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than dies. This may make you hungry or crave a sweet treat so I hope you have some treats on hand after reading.

Background

Chocolate and cookies are two of my favourite treats - you too? - generally teamed with a cup of tea (you might prefer a coffee) so that prompted me to create a patterned paper like background panel with the cookie, chocolate and cup stamp images.
I stamped the images in crumb cake ink then coloured the images and whole sheet with Stampin Blends alcohol markers.
I couldn't resist using my retired Subtle 3d embossing folder to add some texture. This will always be in my collection and I hope you have one too.

Background marker colours:
Cookies & chocolates - Crumb Cake Light & Dark, Ivory, Light Petal Pink
Cup - Petal Pink

Background - Pool Party Light & Dark

Sentiment

The 'Chocolate & Cookies are cut in copper foil cardstock using the Love You More dies. I included a thin copper strip on the left side of the card too. The remaining words are stamped in Soft Suede ink and cut into strips.
The words are mounted onto 2 pierced edge die cut vellum circles using Stylish Shapes dies.

I love that you can create all sorts of sentiment combinations using the stamp set on its own for all sorts of occasions and cards, and even more when you add the die options. Take a look at the full sets & think about the possibilities:

I used these dies to create a card for my love too, which I'll share another time.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope my card gave you ideas to create your own stamped background, custom sentiments, or just encouraged you to have fun playing around with your stamps.

For now though, if you've any questions about my card, just leave a comment. Shop the supplies you need to make your own version here on my Stampin' Up! website store.

Happy stamping and inky wishes
