A customer requested that we make a lemonade card for Stamp Class. I remember seeing this video a while back. I used a few different things, as usual, but I think it turned out really cute.
SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Petite Pairs w#128706 c#122497
Ink: Daffodil Delight
Black StayzOn
Card Stock: Crisp Cantaloupe
White Vellum #101856
Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper #130141
larger scrap to trace glass onto
Punch: 1″ Circle
Large Oval #119855
Other: SNAIL
Simply Scored
Sticky Strip
Stamping Sponge or Sponge Dauber
Two Way Glue Pen
Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
Plastic Straw with flexible bending part (from your local store)
Scissors
Plastic 8 ounce glass to trace to make your pattern (from your local store or picnic supply stash)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Crisp Cantaloupe card stock at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Cut your Quatrefancy DSP at 4″ x 5-1/4″. Adhere to card front.
3. Trace around your plastic glass onto a scrap of card stock. Mine is 3-5/8″ tall. I did have to trim it down. Cut it out, straightening out the lines as you go. Use this pattern to cut out your Glass from Vellum.
4. Score 1/4″ along each tall side of your Glass. This side will be the “Front or Outside” of your Glass. Place Sticky Strip along the scored areas. Leave the red backing on until later.
5. Use your Sponge or Sponge Dauber to color the inside of your Glass with Daffodil Delight ink.
6. Run a strip of Two-Way Glue along the top of your Glass. Make sure it is smooth. Now put Dazzling Diamonds Glitter over the Two Way Glue. Flick off the excess and let dry for a minute or two.
7. Remove the Red backing from one piece of the Sticky Strip. Make sure the “Bottom” of your Glass is straight and adhere the one side to the card front. DON’T press the Sticky Strip down firmly yet as you might want to move it. Now remove the red backing from the other piece of Sticky Strip. Round the Glass and gently place the Sticky Strip on the card front. Adjust if necessary. Use your Bone Folder to make sure the Sticky Strip is firmly attached. Whew! The hard part is done!
8. Place your straw into the glass to determine how much you need to cut off the straw bottom. Now do the same for the straw top. Use 2 Glue Dots to adhere it in the desired position in your Glass.
9. Punch a 1″ Circle of a scrap of yellow Quatrefancy DSP. Cut a line up to the Center of the circle. Put your “Lemon” on your Glass and decide where to place your Glue Dots to attach it to your Glass.
