Share It Sunday - June Blog Hop featuring Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Share It Sunday projects where the team shares any project that have been working on.

This past week I held 4 Coffee & Cards events at local coffee Shops. I advertised at the coffee shops on various community Facebook pages and an invite on a coffee club and my own Facebook page. I had 8 people show up to the various locations. Half of the attendees were people I knew and the other half were new people interested in cardmaking, particularly with a local person. We made 2 cards from our new card kits. I specifically chose the kits without stamping as I was not sure if I would have experienced or new card makers. I'm glad I chose the simple cards because the majority of attendees had either not made cards or described themselves as a novice. 

With the coffee theme of the week, I made up a dozen or so cards with the Nothing's Better Than Set. This set was introduced in the 20-21 annual catalog and it is one of my favorites.  Below is a one sample card.  

I gave each coffee shop owner a "coffee" thank you card, which they loved!! Additionally several of the attendees bought cards from my stash of handmade cards I brought to the classes

There are several different sentiments with this set, which I did intermix in the cards I made.
