Who do you know who makes everything better? Make this fun card for them. I used the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle (Nothing’s Better Than stamp set & Love You More Than Dies) to make this messy card, complete with “coffee stain.” It’s one of the projects we made in Stamp Club this month.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

  • Rococo Rose card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
  • Pool Party card stock (CS) layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
  • Shimmery White CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set:

  • sentiment in Pool Party ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
  • cups (2 in Pool Party and 1 in Rococo Rose) onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
  • steam in Early Espresso ink onto the Shimmery White CS layer just above the top cup

Cut using the Love You More Than Dies:

  • 3 stamped cups
  • word “Coffee”

Cut using Paper Snips:

  • separated the words of the stamped sentiment

Watercolored using a Water Painter:

  • “coffee stain” in Early Espresso ink onto the Shimmery White CS layer
  • splattered same layer with more water and Early Espresso ink, by tapping the Water Painter on my hand over the layer
  • Be sure to let the layer dry completely before adhering. You can use a Heat Tool to speed up the drying process.

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • Pool Party CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • Shimmery White CS layer glued onto the Pool Party CS layer
  • die cut “Coffee” glued onto the Shimmery White CS layer
  • 3 die cut cups glued together in a stack, then adhered onto the Shimmery White CS layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • stamped sentiment words adhered onto the Shimmery White CS layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
