Hello and welcome to a new project share for this week's Just Add Ink challenge - Just Add Alcohol.
I wanted to make a Christmas card, because I still need soooo many, but didn't think I had any stamp or dies to fit an alcohol challenge. Then I remembered the Bottled Happiness stamp set. How to turn this everyday image it into a Christmas image? I paired it with the bold and fabulous Joy to You sentiment stamp set, some Christmassy colours, pretty paper (Joy of Christmas) and this is how it turned out
I wanted to make a Christmas card, because I still need soooo many, but didn't think I had any stamp or dies to fit an alcohol challenge. Then I remembered the Bottled Happiness stamp set. How to turn this everyday image it into a Christmas image? I paired it with the bold and fabulous Joy to You sentiment stamp set, some Christmassy colours, pretty paper (Joy of Christmas) and this is how it turned out
I chose a fab type stamp from Joy to You as it fitted the 'cheer' theme, and hello, opportunities for multiple colours! It's stamped in Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green and Sweet Sorbet. I used my Stamparatus and some post-it notes to mask off each coloured section.
Then I realised the tag from the Merriest Trees stamp set (which was on my desk for another project) fitted the image perfectly! Love a happy coincidence.
I stamped only the detail part of the tall bottle image onto Parakeet Party cardstock, punched it out with the coordinating Vintage Bottle punch, and added the sentiment in Granny Apple Green.
The wide bottle is stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink and fussy cut out. I wanted to continue the holly theme from the pretty patterned paper being used for the background to come out of the bottle, so I pulled out a fave retired set and stamped and fussy cut. Some red rhinestones (retired, but you can easily colour regular rhinestones with a Stampin' Blends marker added some shine.
Inside is a coordinating sentiment from Joy to You, and a couple more bottles.
The final layout includes a Garden Green base - landscape cut longways for easy standing, the oh so lovely patterned paper, the two tags and some extra bottles. Done!
So that's my Just Add Alcohol project. Think it met the challenge brief? When you're finished here, head to the Just Add Ink blog to see how my fellow teamies worked the challenge too. Lots of fun cards to see.
An important note before I go. All the Christmas items I used except the tag die (Joy of Christmas paper, and Joy to You stamp set) are all now on the Last Chance retirement list and only available while stocks last until January 2nd, so get them now if you love them.
I hope you liked my card idea or something else in the project caught your eye to try too. Find and shop for all the supplies you need to make your own version here in my online store.
Thanks for visiting today, and until next time, happy stamping.
