Cheers & Sips for PP735

This week at The Paper Players, it's my favourite kind of challenge: a sketch. Before I get to Claire's lovely sketch, I'd like to say what super creative entries we had for Elizabeth's CAS Bunny challenge. So many clever ideas and so many beautiful cards! I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch. 

I've started playing around with the Celebratory Sips suite, one of the new online exclusive suites that will be available from 6 May. This fun suite is the featured product in the next Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp on June 28-29. If you'd like free entry to the stamp camp, thirteen make and take kits plus tutorials and an extra thirteen project video tutorials, then look here for the details.

I've also called on some of the 2025-2027 In Colors for this one, since some of the colours are in the Celebratory Sips DSP. The base is Strawberry Slush, which some of you will remember from many moons ago. Cloud Cover is that soft blue/grey and Timid Tiger is the colour of the orange. 

Much of the hard work of this card is done by the DSP. The drinks and cocktail umbrella are fussy cut directly from the DSP.  I did run the long glass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with one of the Cheers & Sips dies to get that pretty patterning on the liquid. 

I popped the cocktail umbrella up on dimensionals to add some lift. The curved glass is also on dimensionlas. 

The white panel is embossed using one the two embossing folders that are part of this suit: the Glass & Gardens embossing folders.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on Strawberry Slush and the 'Let's Celebrate' is stamped in Strawberry Slush. 

The finishing touch is the addition of three Holographic Resin Dots.

This is a fun suite and I've got lots more ideas for it, so I'm sure you'll be seeing more of it.
