Mixed Drinks & Bubble Over

Whilst they were still out... this happened... lighter & brighter than the original... and for any occasion...

Details as per this card here... just a switch from Tranquil Tide to Real Red...

Leffe anyone?

So whilst I was re-making this card... as the Lager card... another thought popped into the head...

As I am rather partial to a Leffe Brune... so this card is designed for me!!

Remember that Mixed Drinks (for the glasses) is on Last Chance.... only a few more days to be able to purchase...

And a personal photo share too... to show the regular Leffe glass shape that was in my head... as this was a shot of my favourite beer (though the more readily available golden variety in this shot) whilst atop some mountain in the French Alps a few years ago... happy memories!

And I skied much better after that break!

Mixed Drinks Bubble Over... The Lager card...

So I was asked for a Lager Beer based card for a late teen... so a quick re-make of this card here... brightened it all up for a younger audience... and made a happy requester...

Bear in mind Mixed Drinks (for the glasses) is very sadly retiring... so is only available while stocks last - or till 31st May latest...

Also bear in mind that Bubble Over does carryover to the new 2018-19 Annual Catalogue... but not with the bundled 10% discount for the stamps and dies that you can get now... but only till 31st May...

And an interesting twist for the lager colour... I tried quite a few of the colours and they were all too yellow - or too brown... but Crushed Curry with Sahara Sand overstamped did the trick!

Bubble Over meets Mixed Drinks again...

A lot of this may seem familiar to some of you... as basically everyone visiting wanted to do this card which has been sitting on my display for the last 3 months... so my original card "grew" as I finalised the projects for my Men in May classes

Click here for all the details on the stamped inner panel...

And the extra... just a Thick Whisper White 14.8cm square card blank (US Letter nearest equivalent 5 1/2" square) to sit the panel on...

Now that's better!!!

When Bubble Over meets Mixed Drinks...

With a bit of Waterfront thrown in for good measure...

A match made in heaven... particularly for those of you with a man who has a taste for Guinness or any other stout beer...

Clean & Simple Early Espresso small square card (10.5cm from A4 card or US 4 1/4" from US Letter)... with a 9.9cm stamping mat (4" US)

Bubble Over bottle stamped in Early Espresso and die cut using the Bottles & Bubbles dies... with Tranquil Tide bottle neck label... Basic Grey bottle label... and finished off with a Silver Foil die cut bottle cap

Mixed Drinks tankard stamped using Memento or Archival Black... Aquapainter watercoloured using Early Espresso & Soft Sky... with a faint touch of Sahara Sand on the froth... and all finished off with Clear Wink of Stella... and then fussy cut...

And all "seated" on a Sahara Sand stamping of the thin line in the Waterfront stamp set... life saver stamp! Stopped everything from floating randomly!

Edited to Add: I have checked and unfortunately I will not be able to provide the Class Kits in the Mail outside of the 5 European territories...

Back to today's Cheers To You card... a simple 14.8cm Square (about 5 7/8") card - with lager, stout, bitter and brown ale in pint tankards to please the men... though the no-punch no-dies didn't please the girls in class... even though I kept telling them they could stamp it direct on the card panel! 

So yes all 6 glasses stamped, punched and hand-cut... Highlights of Clear Wink Of Stella for the glasses... and Gold Wink of Stella for the lager-beers. Tip - don't move your clear ink of Stella onto the coloured beers or you will have bits of colour where you don't want it!

Here is the full range of images in Mixed Drinks... I am loving this one!! And it is not retiring... it carries over! Though I have only scratched the surface so far as it is Mens' Cards in May month... but wait till June....

Till tomorrow...
