Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from
My PaperCut Creations! I’m thrilled to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today! I’m sharing three cards featuring the
Happier Hour Collection with you today! We are traveling to Mexico in December, so the
Sip Sip Ole’ Etched Die Set really spoke to me!
HERE’S TO GOOD TIMES AND GREAT FRIENDS
I began by die-cutting the element for my focal point using the
Sip Sip Ole’ Die Set. For the outline of the glass, I used matte silver cardstock from the Treasured Antique Silver cardstock pack, and for the salt, I used the glitter cardstock from the same pack. The colors of Color Wheel cardstock that I used for the rest of the die-cuts:
Peridot,
Rainforest,
Fern,
Tutu,
Wildberry,
Seaside,
Teal Topaz,
Blue Spruce,
Saffron,
Beeswax,
Fog, and
Classic White. I adhered all the individual elements together using
liquid glue.
For the background, I used the
Linear Touch Rectangles and Tags Die Set. I love all the options with this die set!! You can create frames or die-cut each individually and layer them!! The third largest die in the set was cut from
Seaside cardstock, the second largest from white, and the largest die from
Blue Spruce. They were stacked and adhered together using
liquid glue. The margarita and accessories were adhered with a combination of
liquid glue and
foam squares.
The sentiment, from the
Sip Sip Ole’ Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set, was pressed onto white cardstock with black pigment ink using the
BetterPress System. Once dry, it was cut out with the die and adhered with a combination of
thin foam squares and
liquid glue. Gems from the
Crystal Mix Color Essentials Gems Pack finish off the card.
CHEERS TO SPRINKLES, WRINKLES & TINKLES
My second card features the
Martini Mood BetterPress Plate & Die Set. Doesn’t this sentiment make you giggle?!? LOVE it!! The image was pressed onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink and the
BetterPress, colored with Copic markers, then cut out with the die.
I used the same dies from the
Linear Touch Rectangles and Tags Die Set to create the background. This time, they were die-cut from
Seaside,
Tutu, and
Classic White cardstock. I also die-cut the fourth largest die from vellum and splattered it with white bleed-proof ink. Once dry, they were layered and adhered together, and the martini was adhered with
liquid glue.
The sentiment is from the
same set. It was pressed onto white cardstock with black pigment ink using the
BetterPress System, cut out with the die, and popped up with
foam squares. Several
Pink Color Essential Gems finish this one off.
HAVE THE SWEETEST BIRTHDAY
This card was created with the
Fountain Wishes Etched Die Set, along with the strawberry and flower dies from the
Sip Sip Ole’ Die Set, and a sentiment from the
Fountain Wishes Sentiments BetterPress Plate and Die Set. All the elements for the focal point were cut from
Blush,
Tutu,
Pomegranate,
Truffle,
Fawn,
Alabaster,
Rainforest,
Beeswax,
Fog,
Classic White, and matte silver cardstock. All the pieces were adhered together using
liquid glue.
For the background on this one, I die-cut a panel of
Alabaster cardstock with the second largest die in the
Linear Touch Rectangles and Tags Die Set and embossed it with the
Waffle Cone 3D Embossing Folder. I blended a bit of Tea Dye Distress Ink onto the center with a
large blending brush and faded the color toward the outside of the panel. I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly larger and die-cut a panel of
Teal Topaz cardstock with the largest die in the
Linear Touch Rectangles and Tags Die Set, then stacked and adhered them all together with
liquid glue. All the sundae die-cuts were arranged and adhered with
liquid glue, as well.
The sentiment, from the
Fountain Wishes Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set, was pressed onto white cardstock with aqua dye ink and the
BetterPress. It was cut out with the die, then adhered with a combination of
thin foam squares and
liquid glue. A sprinkling of
Pink Color Essential Gems adds a bit of sparkle and completes this card.
