Cocktails For The Pals Blog Hop

 




Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Sentiment as a focal point.” We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.




Nothing's Better Than set was calling to me for the challenge this month. It has great sentiments and words I love like cookies, chocolate and cocktails you can stamp or cut out with the Love You More dies! I felt like something bright so picked the Polished Pink color and than had to make a few cocktails. I challenged myself with embossing clear emboss powder on white card stock! You can't see it but I did ok lining it up the word cocktails in VersaMark ink and heating them. I then blended Polished Pink ink over to make the words to make them pop. I added it to a piece of Basic Black card stock and a Polished Pink base. 
I then stamped the two cocktail glasses in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added two step Polished Pink, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green ink. I cut them out with the matching dies plus the word Cocktails in Basic Black card stock. I cut one of my cocktail glasses in half and tucked it in behind the first. I placed a strip of Polished Pink card stock on the bottom with a thin strip of Basic Black before adding my images and words. After adding my images and word, I added some black matte dots and then stamped the Kind Of Day on white card stock in Polished Pink ink which got hand snipped out. 


More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on October 13th. Our theme will be Fantastic Fun Folds and 3D Projects when participants showcase fun fold cards or 3D items that will be great for any occasion. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
