Espresso Martinis

And now for the Martini Trifecta... these are the Espresso Martini version of the Olive Martinis die set from Spellbinders.

A few are just with regular cardstock, but for most of these, I used the Pearlescent Cardstock from Craft Perfect by Tonic Studios - it's a lovely subtle glimmer!  As a result of the shimmer, I kept the design fairly simple, adding just a bow or a few sequins to my cards.

Patterned papers are from an older October Afternoon pack, and the taupe dot is a Simple Stories Colour Vibe paper.

The sentiments are from the Cheers Sentiments Betterpress plate set from Spellbinders.  What a seriously fun week putting all my martini cards together (scroll down to see the tropical versions I created earlier this week).  Thanks again to Sheri at The Papercrafter's Workshop for bringing this in for me!

Lemon Lime Martinis

Is that even a thing?  'Lemontini' sounds like a legitimate drink name... so we'll go with that.  This is the lemon/lime version of the last card I posted, I've done the same layout in slightly different colours, and created a beachside backdrop for my glass to sit on.

This time I've used Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks for my drink colours, and on my die cuts.  The glass is cut from Majestic Gold Pearlescent Cardstock from Tonic studios, for some subtle glimmer.

Once again, I've used the Cheers Betterpress Sentiments and Olive Martinis dies from Spellbinders, the Dried Citrus die from The Greetery, and the flowers and foliage are the Fall Vault Wreath dies from Sizzix & Tim Holtz.

Loving these!

Wee Memories Challenge

This is my first time trying the Wee Memories Challenge - who has a bit of a fruit theme happening this week.  I've had this stamp set sitting around for ages, and have never used it, so here was our inspiration, and what I came up with:

Patterned papers are Basic Grey, Sugared; Prima Flowers; Michael's ribbon; Stamp set is Cheers!; Cardstock is Baby Pink & White Daisy; Ink is Cocoa; Autumn Soft Chalks; Barn Red brads - all CTMH.
