I
just love the expression of “Somewhere in the world it is 5 o’clock”…I have
been wanting to use this stamp set of Happy Hour in a bright and fun way for
some time and yesterday it just popped off of the shelf and said “USE ME”!!!
I love the new fresh colors that SU came out with! In this card I am using 3
of them and they blend together so well…Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush and Baked
Brown Sugar!
You
can see that my stampin’ man, “Mr. Big Shot” made an appearance twice! Once
with the Apothecary Accents Framelits and also with the Tasteful Trim Bigz
XL…(I realize that this a pricy item but remember you can get if for 50% off or
free) – ask me how! It always creates an accent of WOW…that is simple and
clean!
Because
of the rick-rack I thought I would carry the look on with using the Chevron
Embossing Folder…super cute and having this card mainly in white creates a
classic look!
My
other friend, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig was the “A Student” once again and naturally he
did not let me down! I first drew a line in the middle of the white
piece…stamped the middle glass 1st – then the ones on the sides!
The sentiment came from the
A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set…a super set that will help you for many cards!!! I love the typeset of the
“bravo” – Doesn’t it make you want to raise your glass and say “cheers”!!!
Keeping
the “chevron” theme going…the envelope was lined with the In Color Designer
Series Paper…so fresh and clean!
I
sure hope that this put a smile on your face…it’s summertime and this card just
makes you feel the summertime fun of cool and refreshing drinks! I am a mojito
fan and I have lots of fresh mint growing to support my favorite summer drink!
Please
continue to tell you friends about my blog! I appreciate your support and I
appreciate your comments! If you have not sign up for a daily dose of
inspiration from me…please do so (upper right)
Enjoy
the day…make some memories and simply have fun!
Until
tomorrow!

Thank you, I have this set and never use it Thanks for the Inspiration. My gold for today is to make a card with stamp set
Cute! It makes me want a margarita and I don’t even drink! Very cute and perfect name.
Refreshing! I have been on the fence about this set. Do I really need it? I agree with you, I think these new colors were made for this set and this card! The strawberries look pretty tasty to me. I remember my parents visited Hawaii and had some blue drink with fruit in it – I think this is a perfect copy!
