Hello crafty
friends, Marine here with
you today! Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate! How about a refreshing
strawberry lemonade to start celebrating this special day? Tempting, right?
Let's see how I made this card, shall we? And then I will serve you a drink!
I started off by
creating my strawberry lemonade using the Summer Jar Mug. And I built it the same way I did on my Rainbow Mermaid Kisses card and my Ladybug Fairies card. Here are the different steps:
1. Cut a jar frame out of
holographic cardstock, cut a whole jar out of acetate, and stick the
holographic frame on the acetate jar using liquid glue
2. Cut more jar frames out
of white cardstock, and attach them on the acetate. The number of extra frames
depends on the thickness of the shaker accessories. For my fake ice cubes,
strawberry clay slices and confetti, I cut and attached eight extra jar frames
3. Cut a whole jar out of a
pinkish pattern paper
4. Pour the shaker
accessories on the acetate
5. Attach the pinkish jar to
the jar frame to totally close the shaker
I cut a Strathmore bristol
smooth panel using the largest Stitched
Rectangle die, and colored it using oxide inks. I started off by creating a
base using, from top to bottom, prize ribbon + salty ocean + tumbled
glass oxide inks. Next I used a sunray stencil from my stash along with,
from top to bottom, chipped sapphire + prize ribbon + salty ocean
oxide inks to create a beautiful pattern on my panel. As always, I added
texture to my background, starting with water droplets that I dried using a
paper towel. I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water, and used a small
brush to make more splatters on my panel, and then did the same with copic
opaque white ink. And to bring an extra 4th of July touch, I used a starry
stencil from my stash along with white paste to add white stars all over my
panel.
Next I cut all the bits and
pieces out of colored cardstock: the strawberries, paper streamers, stems, etc.
So here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Strawberry
Patch - strawberries, leaves, stems, flowers • Summer
Jar Mug - parasol, ice cubes, lemon slice, straws • Crepe
Paper Streamers. And I cut the parasol out of a Surprise
Party red starry pattern paper.
I attached my strawberry
lemonade on the panel first, using liquid glue, and then all the pieces using
1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I white heat embossed
my "Wishing you a happy day" greeting from Panda Party on a light blue Brilliant
Banner 1 that I attached below the mug using foam squares again,
attached my panel to a larger white panel, and to a larger Very
Merry red stripe panel using double sided tape.
I added highlights and
details to the die-cut pieces using a white gel pen, glued a few iridescent
mini star confetti on the background, and added a white blizzard nuvo drop in
the center of each flower to make them shine. And that's it!
This was a very fun
card to make, I hope that you like it. Now, who wants a drink? Thanks so much
for stopping by, and see you next time.
