Cheers with Celebratory Sips for FMS 692

I’ve been packing the Cheers & Sips Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits that will ship early next week, so it makes sense that Cheers & Sips stamp set and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper was top-of-mind when I saw this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge design. I often turn to online challenges to spark a little inspiration when I’m not sure what to make – this week’s challenge sparked immediate inspiration. Yay! Here’s the card I made to share with you today:

My card closely follows Narelle Farrugia’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge banner. So happy! Here’s a look at the challenge banner from this week’s challenge:

My card showcases three icy treats from the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper that I celebratorily snipped from its pages. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but it’s been REALLY HOT lately, so these drinks are really appealing, right? Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper:

I showcased the papers on two panels of Two-Tone Pool Party Cardstock. Such fun! I embossed the lighter side with one of the embossing folders from the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders and then scratched the embossed surface with sand paper. Because the Two-Tone papers have a white core, a light scratching exposes the white center. Such fun!

Here’s a closer look at the embossed panel on my card:

The sentiment on my card is built with two must-haves – the Cheers & Sips stamp set (part of the Cheers & Sips Bundle) and the More Messages stamp set (part of the More Messages Bundle). I stamped the sentiments and then snipped them out with my Paper Snips Scissors. Here’s a closer look:

Here’s a look at the Cheers & Sips Bundle:

And here’s a look at the More Messages Bundle, which includes AMAZING sentiments and a single die to cut them all out (yay!):

I accented my project with a smattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels, a classic way to add a little shine.

I hope you like my “refreshing” take on this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I hope you’ll pop over to the FMS site to see the projects by the design team and shared by other participants – or play along. CLICK HERE to hop over there.
