Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle is a perfect for cool refreshment to celebrate the end of a long, hot summer! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

Adhere Celebratory Sips designer series paper to the front of a Strawberry Slush card base. Emboss a Granny Apple Green strip with the Glass and Gardens 3D embossing folder and adhere it to the card. Use the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies to cut Basic White and Blackberry Bliss circles and adhere them together. Adhere them to the card with liquid glue.

Use the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle to cut drinks from the Celebratory Sips DSP. Cut them again from Basic White and adhere the backings to the DSP die cuts. Adhere the tall drink to the card with liquid glue and the short drink with dimensionals. Use the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot to to stamp the umbrella on a yellow Celebratory Sips DSP square and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere it to a Basic White umbrella die cut and pop it on the card with dimensionals.

Use the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle to cut different fruits and leaves from the Celebratory Sips DSP and adhere them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink on Pretty in Pink card stock and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. Adhere it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finish with sparkly gems.

For the inside, Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips stamp set in the corner of the last Basic White oval using Granny Apple Green ink and trim with DSP. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..

The Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle is such a pretty and fun set! It makes you feel like you’re on vacation in a tropical paradise.
