Today's Plan: Consume Cofffe and Be Awesome

    

  • Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set
  • Buy One Get One 50% Off Sale 1-30 June 2022 on Kit Collection
  • Final weeks of the Last Chance sale on the January-June Mini Catalog items

One of my favorite carry over sets from the previous catalog to the current annual catalog is the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set and the coordinating Love You More Than...Dies.  With several June Birthdays and Graduations, the coffee theme in this set was the perfect idea for a card and a gift.  I created a pocket in my card to hold a gift card from a coffee house, and selected the sentiments based on the personality of the recipient.  I used Coastal Cabana as my main color as it works for both male and female gift giving, and used Bermuda Bay as my accent color.  The dies in the Love You More Than... set were used to die cut multiple coffee cups for the front of my card, and I stamped the word "coffee" stamp multiple times on the Coastal Cabana layer to create a pattern for my card.  It turned out to be such fun card, I made several while I had my supplies out.    You'll enjoy creating fun looks with this stamp set using different die cuts, coloring medium and different accessories.  Add it to your Shopping List today! 


Greeting card using die cut coffee cups and a coffee theme using Stampoin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set


Today's card uses a base card of Coastal Cabana Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock, and then another layer of Coastal Cabana stamped in a repeating pattern using the Coffee stamp from the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set.  My sentiment layer is a circle of Basic White die cut using the largest circle from the Beautiful Shapes Dies.   


Coffee-themed greeting card using Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Stamp set



I used the coffee mug die and stamped it multiple times on Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay Cardstock.  Then I used the coffee mug die from the Love You More Than stamp set o die cut several coffee mugs to use n the card front.  I also used the dies to die cut the word coffee out of Coastal Cabana Cardstock.  I fussy cut the darker shadow around the word coffee from Bermuda Bay Cardstock.  I added the coffee mugs scattered on the front of the card.  

   
Three coffee-themed greeting cards using different sentiment from the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


I stamped sentiments for my cards using different sentament stamps from the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set.  You'll have fun selecting sentiments that fit your need from the wide selection in this set. I used Memento Black ink to stamp the sentiment, and added the "Coffee" die cut popped up n Dimensionals.   I also added a few black Classic Matte Dots to the sentiment layer. 

Inside of coffee-themed greeting card with a gift card pocket using stamps from Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set


Inside my card, I created a pocket for holding a gift card, using the gift card holder from Celebrating In Color May 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit as a template.  I added a couple more die cut coffee mugs, and I stamped a sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set to finish my card.  I love how this turned out!

Today I wanted to highlight another fun kit:  Precious Card Kit

This kit includes 8 cards and envelopes; and a small carrier for storing these cute Summer gift cards in your purse.  This is a non-stamping kit, which means it is perfect for beginners and for cards you need while you're travelling on vacation.  This is one of my favorite kits as the kit creates antique post boxes, and the inserts in the kit fit into the mail box slot.  This kit works when you need cards for males or females which is a big plus in my book.  You'll love the comments you get from friends or family who receive one of these unique cards. 






Take a look at the kit contents, below:  Everything from the die cuts, base cards, envelops and accessories are all included in the kit!  Make this kit without the need to stamp.  You'll have gift cards on hand when you need them rather than making that last-minute trip to the store.  With Summer  vacations about to begin for many, this is the perfect kit to take along on a trip or to use this summer.

Alternative Celebrate In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit idea with Coffee on my mind.

    

  • Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than ... Stamp Set
  • Alternative idea for May 2022 Celebrate In Colors Paper Pumpkin Kit
  • Kit Collection Highlight:  Precious Parcel Card Kit
  • Buy One Get One 50% Off Sale 1-30 June 2022 on Kit Collection

The May 2022 Celebrate In Colors Paper Pumpkin Kit was the perfect kit for making Birthday, Graduation or Congratulation cards this season as this card kit includes gift card holders that match the designs of each In Color card in the kit.  How cool is that!  So, I ordered one of the Stampin' Up! coffee mugs in Stary Sky, and made a matching card with a coffee shop gift card.  What a perfect gift that looks like you spent a lot of time coordinating while making use of the pre-package Paper Pumpkin Celebrate In Color Kit.  I used the stamps and dies from the Nothing's Better Than... Stamp set and coordinating dies and created a series of colorful coffee cups.  I used one of the die cuts in the Love You More Than...Dies to create the word Coffee, and selected two of the many fun sentiments from the Nothing's Better Than... Stamp Set.  Inside, I used one of the gift cads along with a sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set.  Fast, fun, and four more In Colors to play with in this Paper Pumpkin Kit.  You'll enjoy using your Paper Pumpkin Kit as-is or to create your own alternatives with the contents of the kit and your Stampin' Up! stash.  Create unique looks with these stamp sets using different die cuts, coloring medium and different accessories.  Add a Paper Pumpkin Subscription to your Shopping List today! 


An alternative Card idea for a Paper Pumpkin Kit


Today's card uses a base card of Basic White from the Paper Pumpkin May 2022 Celebrate In Color Kit.   Then I used another layer from the kit with shades of Starry Sky.  These layers also have splatters of Gold Foil and an uneven border edged with Gold Foil.  To enhance the Gold Foil embedded on the preprinted layer from the kit, I added a thin strip of Gold Foil Sheet to break up the card face.  For my sentiment layer, I die cut a Basic White stitched circle using the Beautiful Shape Dies.  


Combining In Color Themed Paper Pumpkin Kit with the Nothering Better Than Stampin' Up! Stamp Set


I then Die cut 5 coffee mugs in different colors.  Beginning at the top of the sample card, Orchid Oasis, next, Coastal Cabana, then So Saffron, next a Sweet Sorbet, and finally, Parakeet Party Cardstock. Some were glued flat, and others were mounted on Dimensionals.   


Alternative card idea for using the cards and envelopes from the May 2022 Celebrting In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit



I stamped sentiments from the Nothing's Better Than... Stamp Set.  After die cutting the word Coffee using the Love You More Than... Dies, I mounted it on Crumb Cake Cardstock, and fussy cut around the letters to give the word Coffee more emphasis.  To finish the card, I used some of the In Color Dots from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The Go To Greetings was a sentiment I added to the inside of the card, along with the gift card holder in the same colors as the front of the card.  These matching gift card holders are included in the May 2022 Celebrate In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit.
