Cheers and Sips Bundle~Weekly Wed. #57

Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday…..anyone up for a cocktail???? Well then grab your drink and join me for a fun Cheers and Sips Bundle presentation. Now through the end of June you can purchase any suite and get a second suite at 50% off. Or you can purchase any bundle within a suite and get a second bundle in a different suite at half off. It is a great deal. All the products within the suites are buy one get one 50% off. So grab that cocktail, make your list, and let’s get crafting. CLICK HERE to see all the suite opportunities!

I started a piece of Basis White cardstock, my heat tool, some Versa Mark ink, and my white embossing powder. Depending on what you want on your cheers and sip card, stamp images in Versa Mark ink and then white embossing powder. This will give you the foundation for all your stamping. Now you are ready to add some color. I choose Daffodil Delight, Summer Splash, and Flirty Flaming.

I played around with a combination of sponge daubers, blend markers and blending brushes. The blending brushes were super easy for the larger glasses while the sponge daubers were great for the tiny fruit. Be sure to wipe off the excess color with a soft towel so your embossed edges are well defined.

I did use a bit of black embossing powder for the greeting because I really wanted it to pop. I used paper snips to create my banner and I was pleased at how it turned out. Of course the Summer Splash cocktail made me long for a real something fun, but it has been many of moons since my bartending days, so I am not even sure what that would be called. Summer Splash sounds fun, maybe some gin and a little blue curacao. Just sayin’.

Either way I hope you enjoy today’s video, Happy Stamping!

Blooming Phrases-Weekly Wed. #56

Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Well, happy Wednesday! Congratulations your work week is half over, so just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes that is all we can do. But remember the life lesson your grandpa taught you…..As you go through life one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

Maybe you have never heard that one but it is true. Life is what we make it and in times of struggle it is easy to just float, and while that is good for awhile, it is probably not a great solution. Plus, you don’t get any crafting accomplished. LOL My video today features an new online exclusive, Blooming Phrases, and some of our new Designer Series paper, Lovely Garden. It is super simple so have fun.

Keep the faith and you will find joy! I promise!
