Gingerbread Martini

 I've made my last martini cards for the year!  I hadn't had a chance to use the little gingerbread man or the Santa hat yet, so I put together a couple of these in a bright & pretty colour combo.

This is the Olive Martinis set, with the Christmas Cocktails add-on, and the Betterpress Cheers Sentiments, all from Spellbinders.

I used some old patterned paper from my stash, and die cut a smaller rectangle from it that I layered over two other pieces of cardstock so that it was raised up from the base.  I used glitter cardstock for the glass, and added a few gems for some sparkle.

A Merry Little Cocktail

 I've pulled out my favourite 'Olive Martinis' set to make some Christmas cocktail cards.

I ink blended on my white card base, and ran it through my die cut machine with the Starshine Background piercing plate for a little subtle texture.  The glass is cut from Brushed Gold cardstock, and all of the other bits (from the Christmas Cocktails die set) were from papers in my stash.

The sentiment is pressed with my Betterpress machine, using the Cheers Sentiments, and I added a glitter halo behind it.  Santa's hat fur and the mint are also cut from white glitter cardstock.  All products are from Spellbinders.

Floral Martini

I think I warned you that there would be plenty of martini card posts!  I made two more cards this week using the Olive Martinis die set from Spellbinders.

I only took photos of one of them, but they were fairly similar.  I wanted to try a different look, using some busier background papers, so the floral paper is from the Hello Gorgeous pad, an older one by My Mind's Eye that I had in my stash.  It matched perfectly with a bunch of the die cut bits that I already had ready to go.

A few accessories are from the Christmas Cocktails add on die set, and the sentiment is the Betterpress Cheers Sentiments set (love these!).

New Espresso Martinis

 Along with the martini cards that I posted yesterday... I made four more Espresso Martini cards, two of each colour

The die sets are Olive Martinis and Christmas Cocktails for the bow.  

The sentiments are from the Cheers Sentiments Betterpress plate.

The pierced background is the Dotted Tile Debossing Cover Die from Altenew.  I really love how it gives some subtle background interest.

You Had Me at Martini

Such a great sentiment!  My last batch of martini/drink cards were a huge hit, so I've created another bunch.

This time I wanted to do more of a traditional martini, with olives and traditional garnishes, and went for a more muted palette (kind of loving these softer colours lately!).  This is the Olive Martinis die set, the bow is from the Christmas Cocktails set, and the sentiment is from the Cheers Sentiments Betterpress set.

I used the Starshine Background piercing coverplate as the background, and played around with the colours a little to make two similar versions.

All products today are from Spellbinders.
