Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is some pool side drinks! I certainly enjoyed my share during the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip last week!
CHEER & SIPS
Of course, this set is perfect for today’s challenge! I like to make these post it note holders every once in a while, so chose to do this easel card version today! If you’d rather, you could always add another glass or two to the bottom portion instead of the sticky notes!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 Poppy Parade cardstock.
- Two 1-1/2 x 4-1/4 strips of Celebratory Sips Designer Paper were added to the top and bottom.
- A 3-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of Timid Tiger cardstock was scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4. The longer portion was adhered to the front of the base.
- A 3-1/4 x 4 piece of Summer Splash cardstock was embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder and the bottom portion added to the front of the Timid Tiger panel.
- A large circle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Stylish Shapes Die and sponged with Summer Splash Ink in the center. It was adhered to the Summer Splash panel.
- Two Cheers & Sips glasses were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White, colored with Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends and Pool Party to rim the glass. The ice cubes were stamped with Timid Tiger and Pretty in Pink for a tone-on-tone look.
- The orange was stamped with Timid Tiger and colored with Dark Peach Pie and the strawberry with Memento Black and colored with Light Poppy Parade and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. All were cut with the Cheers & Sips Dies and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut a slit in the strawberry and the orange to slide over the top of the glass and adhere.
- Cheers greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 2 piece of Basic White and the end cut at an angle. It was adhered with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- A trio of orange 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the background.
- Place some post it notes on the bottom portion (either size fits) and that holds the top like an easel!
It also folds flat to mail!
Looks so fun on my desk! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
