Celebrate in Style with the Cheers and Sips Bundle
Celebrate in Style with the Cheers and Sips Bundle and add a splash of fun to your handmade cards! If you love celebrating life’s special moments with creativity, this playful bundle is sure to be a new favorite. Featuring charming drink glasses, adorable garnishes, and stylish sentiments, the Cheers and Sips Bundle lets you mix up the perfect recipe for a party-worthy card.
Today, I’m sharing a whimsical project that combines rich colors, trendy textures, and a sweet little strawberry garnish—perfect for congratulating a friend, toasting a birthday, or simply saying “let’s celebrate” in style!
This card starts with a bold Blackberry Bliss card base, adding just the right amount of sophistication for a festive occasion. I lightly stamped tone-on-tone leafy images in the background corners to give the card a subtle elegance without overwhelming the focal point. The main panel showcases a piece of black Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, softened by a Cloud Cover mat for a touch of fresh contrast. If you’d like something brighter, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for inspiration.
The real star of the show is the delicious-looking ombré drink, created using the Cheers and Sips stamps and coordinating dies. I colored the drink with the coordinating pink shades, blending from light to deep to create that luscious, summery look. And how adorable is that little strawberry perched on the rim? It’s the perfect finishing touch that brings a pop of color and whimsy to the design.
A simple “Let’s Celebrate!” sentiment banner completes the look, keeping the vibe cheerful and laid-back. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, promotion, or simply the joy of everyday life, this handmade card is guaranteed to make someone smile.
The best part? The Cheers and Sips Bundle makes it super easy to swap out colors, drinks, and garnishes to match any occasion. Imagine a tropical punch for summer parties or a sparkling cider for the holidays—your creativity can flow right alongside your favorite beverages!
