SugarPea Designs - Mix It Up # 5 - Whisky Business

Hello Stampin' friends! I made a card yesterday for Hannah's 17th B-day...which is today and I still can't believe she is 17 years old...where has the time gone?!....Well, I think getting inky yesterday  sparked up my crafty spirit or magically rekindled my absent mojo. So, I headed back down to my craft-room this afternoon on a mission to make a card for the SPD - Mix It Up # 5 Challenge (LOVE the concept of this FUN challenge) with this sweet SugarPea Designs Whisky Business Stamp set...ADORE her to bits!

I took inspiration from both the sketch and the from some of the beautiful and vibrant colours in the yummy inspirational photo!

I started off by making some watercolored paper with my Peerless Water Colors inspired by some of the yummy colours from the Mix it Up inspirational photo. While, my water colour paper was drying I coloured up the Whisky Business girl, the KitchenAid stand-mixer, whisk attachment and the layered cake with my Copics and cut them out with the coordinating Whisky Business Sugar Cuts.  

I used the largest and second largest die from the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles Sugar Cuts to create the frame and popped it up on the card with foam adhesive. I cut the fishtail banner from the Stitched Flags Sugar Cuts and stamped a sentiment from the Whisky Business Stamp set on water-coloured paper with a smaller stitched fishtail flag also from the Stitched Flags Sugar Cuts. I wrapped the stitched sentiment flag with purple AC Hemp Twine and popped up the adorable little stand-mixer. Finally, I sprinkled around some pretty purple YNS Gumdrops. 

And I finished off the inside of the card, as per usual, with a water coloured tag cut with the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts,  stamped another sentiment from the set and then popped up the layered cake on the tag.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Whisky Business card for the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge # 5!

I made my SugarPea Designs birthday card with the adorable Merry ChristMoose Stamp set. I LOVE that this set is not just for Christmas but for winter birthdays too! I have a birthday coming up soon and I think it's nice to brighten things up and add a little warmth and sunshine to a winter birthday with bright colours. I used a mix of BoBunny's Candy Cane Lane and BasicGrey Evergreen 6X6 patterned papers. I coloured up this cute moose with my Copics, fussy cut him out and popped him up on the tag cut with the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts. I haven't used vellum since I started scrapbooking almost 13 years ago. Vellum is having a resurgence and so I scoured my stash for some vellum, cut out another gift tag and layered it over the yellow patterned paper gift tag...love the softness it adds.   

I stamped out the various snowflakes from the Merry ChristMoose Stamp set and the Sweet Treats - Christmas Stamp set on the pierced circles. I stamped the sentiment from the Merry ChristMoose Stamp set in Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the pierced fishtail flag from the Gift Tag - Sugar Cuts. I embellished with some yellow sequins and tied the tag with yellow AC hemp twine. 

I finished off the inside of my card, as always. I stamped the Merry ChristMoose moose again in Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink and embellished with more circles stamped with the snowflakes. I added another tag cut with the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts but I only had a small scrap of the yellow patterned paper left so I used the "cut and re-cut" technique to make the tag a little smaller. I used the Layered Treat Label Sugar Cuts for the sentiment panel and stamped a sentiment from the Have an ICE Day Stamp set.
