Time really does pass by so quickly! Today I am on the road celebrating my baby’s 21st birthday and settling him into the New England area for a summer internship – it seems like just yesterday I was in labor with my last child!! Today’s More Color Monday’s color challenge features the new 6″ x 6″ Regals Designer Series Paper in Real Red and Old Olive and Timid Tiger.

This is a simple sketch combining colors that are on opposite ends of the color wheel close to a triadic combo using the Celebratory Sips Suite of products from the last Online Exclusives release.

Measurements:
Old Olive CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP: 3/4″ x 5 1/2″and scraps for fussy cutting
Timid Tiger CS: 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and scrap for
sentiment

The Celebratory Sips Suite comes with a very cool mini embossing folder combo pack
GLASS & GARDENS EMBOSSING FOLDER
– 2 embossing folders
– 3-3/8″ x 6-1/4″ (8.6 x 15.9 cm)
– Use with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately)
– Compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately)

I used the Glass embossing folder image on the Timid Tiger cardstock.

I adhered the Regals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper in Real Red striped pattern on the edges of the card front leaving about 1/8″ from the edges.
I adhered the Timid Tiger embossed layer to the middle on top of the Designer Series paper.
I stamped the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer in Timid Tiger ink the Let’s Celebrate image in triplicate down the center of the layer and added a orange slice in the bottom corner.
Adhere this layer to the inside of the card.
I fussy cut a couple of cocktail images from the Celebratory Sips DSP and added the taller one directly to the Timid Tiger embossed layer and popped up the smaller cocktail glass to one side of the taller glass.
Cut about 6 inches off the Timid Tiger ribbon and fold in half and adhere to the left hand side of the fussy cut cocktail glasses images.
Stamp the sentiment Cheers in Timid Tiger ink and cut an angle at the end of the word, pop the sentiment piece up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere over the ribbon.

Then I added 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to finish off the coordinated look!

Try this card layout with your stash and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!
Enjoy your time as it goes fast – hug your little ones they grow up and tower over you quickly!!

Stamp the “Let’s Celebrate” sentiment.
Adhere the DSP layer onto the Cloud Cover layer then adhere to the card front.
In the Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ DSP package there are several pieces of DSP that contain water colored squares and rectangles of gorgeous color. This is a great background pattern but can also be used to die cut drink glasses from – so fun!
I stamp the tall glass stamp image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the Pretty in Pink colored rectangle. I place the rectangle glass die and the embossed glass pattern inside and die cut the rectangle die on the Pretty in Pink colored rectangle leaving a small white space at the top.
Adhere the pink glass die cut onto the DSP layer.
Stamp the small line image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink touching the top of the pink liquid line and above the glass on the DSP.
Stamp the smaller glass image over one of the Blackberry Bliss colored squares on the DSP piece leaving a little white at the top of the glass image, stamp two blackberry images in the bottom of the glass and die cut the image.

Stamp the umbrella out of one of the other Pink rectangles and die cut it out.

Stamp the Cheers sentiment in the upper left hand are of the DSP layer on the card front.

Pop up the smaller glass and the umbrella and place on the card. The Umbrella over the stick in the pink glass and the smaller glass in front of the pink glass.

Add three Cloud Cover In Color Flat Pearls around the sentiment for coordinating sparkle!
I tied a ribbon from the suite called Gold Striped Mesh ribbon around the top of the card to finish off this fun card perfect for a fun celebration!

Check out this Suite when it comes out in the May Online Exclusives debut on May 1st along with some other pretty awesome sets and bundles! The click-able photos below will not contain the yet to be released May Online Exclusive products as they will not be able to order until then.
