Be sure to watch the video below to see how I created this card.

Here’s another card below using the same technique. For this card, I blended ink directly on a piece of patterned paper from the Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. I also used a Cajun Craze base and panel with another layer of DSP from Fathering Together. The Early Espresso Linen Thread is also part of this suite as are the Cajun Craze & Gold Dots.

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
