I put off buying Better Together because I thought it was a bit expensive and I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it, but I decided to add it to a recent order and I’m so glad that I did. I really love a lot of the typefaces and can see that this is going to be a very frequently used set. In case you were on the fence like me, here’s a closer look at it.

Today I decided to make a birthday card and to go simple. No surprise there. I’m still stuck on the new in colors – today it’s berry burst and lemon lime twist.

I stamped the beautiful sentiment in the archival basic black and added the party hat at a jaunty angle. The spots were colored in using the Stampin’ Write markers in the new in colors as mentioned. Then I trimmed down my top layer a tad (it’s half an inch smaller than my card base) and added a skinny mat of berry burst. And that’s it. Clean, classic, elegant. What do you think?
