Today I’m sharing one of the cards we made in our August Stamp Club. It’s a #simplestamping card made with the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set, Whisper White Thick card stock, and ink. You can save 10% when you buy the stamp set bundled with the coordinating dies.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
CS layer cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″
Stamped with the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set:
drink outline in Early Espresso ink onto the smaller layer
NOTE: You can use another color for the drink outline. I try to limit the number of ink colors we use at any given gathering, since we’re meeting via Zoom and folks have to have everything at home. These are the four ink colors we used for all the Stamp Club projects.
drink contents in Pool Party ink onto the smaller layer
lemon in Daffodil Delight ink onto the smaller layer
umbrella in Rococo Rose ink onto the smaller layer
sentiment in Rococo Rose ink onto the smaller layer
tiny stars in Pool Party ink around the drink and sentiment
inner sentiment in Pool Party ink onto the inside of the card base
NOTE: I forgot to photograph the inside of the card. It says, “and I’m pretty sure tomorrow will be too.”
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
smaller layer glued onto the larger layer
larger layer glued onto the front of the card base

When was the last time you went a day without any chocolate. I’m not sure I can remember. I keep a supply of little dark chocolates in case of a chocolate emergency, which happens more often than you might thing. I used the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set (part of the Nothing’s. Better Than Bundle) to make today’s simple card. It was one of our August Stamp Club Projects.

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.

Welcome to the August 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month we’re sharing alternate projects to make with the World’s Greatest kit. I used a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box, Mint Macaron ribbon, and In Good Taste Elements along with the kit to create a shaker card and gift box. The box is the perfect size for note cards. The colors in the kit are pretty bold and bright, and I wanted to make something calmer, so I used the Mint Macaron and white from the kit and added Crumb Cake. And I used glue and Stampin’ Seal+ in addition to the glue dots and dimensionals from the kit, but you don’t have to.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the great alternate projects shared by this talented group of stampers!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Mint Macaron card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″, to create the card base
Crumb Cake CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 3-5/8″
Mint Macaron CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 3-1/2″
Crumb Cake CS strip cut to 1″ x 3″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the World’s Greatest stamp set:
card sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS, then trimmed it down using my paper trimmer (It’s about 2″ x 9/16″.)
round ribbon in Crumb Cake ink onto one of the larger white die cut circles from the kit
box sentiment in Mint Macaron ink in the center of the Crumb Cake round ribbon
Cut using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch:
both ends of the Crumb Cake CS strip
Cut using Paper Snips:
fussy cut around the Crumb Cake round ribbon
trimmed the ends of the ribbon after tying the bow on the box
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
a clear piece from the kit adhered onto one side of a foam rectangle, also from the kit
a plaid frame from the kit adhered over the clear piece
assorted pieces from the In Good Taste Elements laid onto the front of the card base, in one layer but clustered in the center
stuck the other side of the foam rectangle onto the card front
sentiment glued onto the punched Crumb Cake CS piece
Crumb Cake piece adhered onto the card front using Stampin’ Seal+
2 vellum pieces from the kit adhered onto the card front using glue dots and glue
Note: I used only a couple of glue dots where they wouldn’t show. I applied a small amount of glue to a few of the leaves and spread it with my finger, so it wouldn’t show through.
Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base (I had not done this yet when I took the photos.)
Assembled the box:
burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder and folded to assemble
Crumb Cake CS layer glued onto the top of the box
Mint Macaron CS layer glued onto the Crumb Cake CS layer
3 vellum pieces glued onto the Mint Macaron CS layer, using small amounts of glue spread onto just a few of leaves
3 wooden elements tucked into the vellum pieces and adhered using glue dots
round ribbon/sentiment adhered onto the Mint Macaron CS layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Mint Macaron ribbon (about a yard or so) adhered onto the back and two sides of the box using Stampin’ Seal + (centering it on the back) then tied in a bow in the front
Note: Untie the bow to open the box. The ribbon will stay attached to the box around 3 sides.

Welcome to the August 2020 PPP Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called World’s Greatest, and it’s all about celebrating the heroes in our lives. You can celebrate a teacher, friend, coach, kid, or anyone else you think is the greatest. For my projects, I used the kit along with some extra card stock to create a card and gift bag. I used the ribbon on the card to make it look more like a race medal than a blue ribbon prize. My husband used to be a runner and triathlete, so there’s quite a collection of these medals in our house. I used glue and Stampin’ Seal for my projects, but you can absolutely use the glue dots that come with the kit. You could also use Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape.
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops so you can see all the great alternative projects made with this fun kit by this talented group.
