Nothing’s Better Than Christmas & Cocktails
Is there anything better than Christmas and cocktails? I think not!
Today I have another fun cocktail Christmas card created with the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. This stamp set is so easy to use, just stamp once with the outline stamp and then stamp again with the fill stamp. Although it’s not technically a Christmas set, I think it pairs perfectly with many of the sentiments in the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.
Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set
The Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set is one of my favorite Christmas sentiment stamps of all time! It is loaded with great Christmas sentiments done in some really fun fonts! Unfortunately, it is on the Last Chance Products list and will be retiring on January 3.
