Have you seen the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle yet? It’s the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than Dies, and you save 10% if you buy them together in a bundle. And of course, you want both anyway, right? I admit I’m not a coffee or cocktail drinker, but I can consume massive amounts of chocolate and cookies!
Today’s card looks like it has been embossed with an embossing folder, but it’s faux embossing. I actually die cut the pieces from the same color card stock as the base, and glued them on. Pretty cool, eh? I did stamp one of the cocktails and intended to glue it onto the front in place of one of the white ones, but it came out much bolder than the colors on the die cut sentiment, so I glued in onto the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Candy, I love this very clever card using the dies. The watercolored sentiment is perfect. Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda!
