Cheers & Sips Celebrate

Ok, one more card using this versatile layout. (Now that it’s the beginning of August, I’ve moved on from Christmas in July. Not to worry, I’ll resume sharing the holiday cards again soon.)

I’ve had Stampin’ Up!’s Cheers Sips Bundle for awhile, and I haven’t had a chance to dig into it. I love how the layout works for this card, too. (See this post for the original card and layout.)

I think this is just a fun, upbeat, and celebratory bundle. Find it as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives.

Measurements and Details

Below, I offer some information to help you create this card at home:

  • Strawberry Slush cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Basic White cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4. Emboss the top with the “glass” folder from the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders.
  • Secret Sea card stock panel measuring 4 x 2 1/4
  • Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper measuring 4 x 2
  • Secret Sea circle die cut with Spotlight on Nature Dies.
  • Glass image die cut from Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. Fun tip: I covered the image in Versamark ink, covered in clear embossing powder, and heated. It gives the glass a shiny look.
  • Sentiment from the Cheers & Sips stamp set stamped with Secret Sea ink.
  • Strawberry Slush bakers twine (Pack Your Bags Twine Three Pack)
  • 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls

When it comes to Christmas and holiday cards, some prefer the traditional colors of green and red, while others prefer something more non-traditional. These colors could include navy, purple, pink, crumb cake, and even black. I’m good with either!

Today, I share a Christmas card sporting the non-traditional colors of Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush. What do you think?

For the inside, I added a sentiment from the Jolly Holly stamp set (Online Exclusive) and a piece of Strawberry Slush foil from the Flower Garden Foils 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
