Nothing’s Better Than

A fun stamp set with a retro theme

Isn’t this so much fun? Whether you are a fan of coffee, chocolate, cookies or cocktails, you will find joy in creating projects with the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set and coordinating dies. Purchase them separately or bundled together with at 10% discount. I confess, I have been known to enjoy all of the above now and then, and making the cards I am about to share with you has also brought a smile to my face.

Since there are many samples to share here, we’ll get right to the nitty-gritty details without much ado. You can watch the video tutorial here and then see the list of materials and measurements below, as well as images of all the products used with links to my online store.
