Mixed Drinks for Father’s Day

Hi card making friends, my share today is created with Stampin Up Mixed Drinks for Father’s Day.

As Father’s Day cards is our challenge this month for the Dream Theme Design Team.

I’m quite excited that the Mixed Drinks stamp set is flowing through to the New Catalogue as I purchased it a bit ago and have not had time to play with it yet…until today of course.

Sandi’s Tips & Tricks:

Mixed Drinks for Father’s Day – Card #1

• I decided to make “background noise” or “wallpaper” with the main stamp element to add cohesiveness to the card.
• I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits for my art piece and mat for a little definition around the main element.
• Then I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and Heat set it white embossing powder so that it POPPED off the basic black

TRY – Two Step Stamping – fastest way EVER to fill a beer  haha….

• Stamp the mug in Basic Black.
• Stamp the “beer” in Crushed Curry right over the mug to fill it.

Mixed Drinks for Father’s Day Card #2

• I used a scrap of the Urban Underground Designer Paper as my background (retiring)
• Then I embossed a strip of Old Olive with the Sparkle Embossing Folder
• I Two Step Stamped the Beer mug and then stamped it again so I could cut out just the “foam” for an overlay
• Try stamping the sentiment in black on a scrap of white card stock and then cutting it apart for some added interest.
