Mixed Drinks Textured Milkshake Card Tutorial

It’s the weekend! YAY! I’ve got my “Sale-a-bration Celebration” party happening today. This exclusive event if for all my customers who ordered from me during SAB. We’ll be creating fun projects, playing stamping bingo for prizes, and enjoying a yummy lunch together. I love spoiling my customers! Those who earned an invitation to this event who live too far away to attend will receive the projects and gifts in the mail (FYI – all invites were sent out in the mail, so if you received one, you know a package will be sent to you). I’ll share photos of the party with you next week!

Today’s card tutorial uses the “Mixed Drinks” stamp set – which is retiring. This card was created by my friend and fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Lisa Curcio. Enjoy!

1. Stamp
   the foam/whipped cream image randomly on the Crushed Curry layer
   using Whisper White craft ink. Let dry. 
2. Adhere
   the Real Red strip to the Crushed Curry layer, leaving ½” border
   at the top as shown. Use the Silicone Craft Sheet when placing the
   adhesive on this strip so that the excess adhesive will not stick to
   your work surface. Adhere to the Crumb Cake layer on an angle as
   shown. Turn the cardstock over and trim the excesslayers
   from the backside, following the edge as a guide.  Adhere these
   layers to the Whisper White card base. 
3. Die
   cut a Stitched Square from the framelits. Stamp the tall glass
   image using Memento ink, near the center bottom of the square. Be
   sure to leave room at the top for the whipped cream and straw. Stamp
   the whipped cream image on top of the glass using Memento ink.
   Stamp the outline cherry image on the whipped cream using Memento
   ink. Fill the inside of the cherry with the solid image using Real
   Red ink. Use the shortest straw image and stamp on the whipped
   cream using Crushed Curry ink. Be sure the ‘finished edge’ of
   the straw is at the top. 
4. To
   fill the glass, ink the coordinating solid image using Crumb Cake
   ink. Stamp off one layer of ink on scratch paper to reduce the
   shade. Stamp inside the glass. Adhere the image square to the card
   base using Dimensionals. 
5. Create
   a banner tip on the right side of the Real Red cardstock. Stamp the
   greeting close to the banner tip using Memento ink. Adhere the
   banner to the card as shown using Dimensionals. Place a Crushed
   Curry Enamel Shape Heart to the left side of the greeting. 
6. Fill
   in the whipped cream using Clear Wink of Stella. 
7. Fill
   in the glass using Fine-Tip Glue. Let dry completely. The glue will
   dry clear and provide a realistic look to the glass.

Enjoy the day and HAPPY STAMPING!
