Here’s to You – Tutorial #479

I feel like celebrating this week so here is one of my quicker cards that features a Martini Glass made from triangles.   This project could easily be transformed into a Happy New Year card.   I needed a few girlfriend cards so I kept with a hot pink theme.    Check it out, the tutorial is below.  🙂

If you stamp with clear-mount stamps, you’ll need a clear block to adhere your stamps to. Stampin’ Up’s blocks are a clear choice. Made from high-quality, sturdy acrylic, these blocks can hold one stamp or multiple stamps if you want to create a collage of images.

This compact storage caddy holds one of each size of our clear-mount blocks. The foam insert securely holds the blocks in place; an additional foam insert sits between the blocks to protect them when the caddy is closed.

■ Opens flat for easy access
■ Locks shut
■ Built-in handle makes it easy to carry
■ 8-1/16″ x 10-5/8″ x 1-13/16″

I will use a random number generator to determine the winner on January 1, 2012.

Punched a 1 3/8″ square and a 1″ square from Basic Black card stock.   Cut the two squares in half.

Punched a 1 1/4″ square from Pretty in Pink card stock and then cut it in half.

Sponged Melon Mambo and then Rose Red on the triangle of Pretty in Pink.

Glued the colored triangle onto the largest Basic Black triangle.

Die cut a Top note from Whisper White card stock using the Big Shot Machine.  Punched a 1 3/8″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note and used it as a mask for my moon.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise on the card stock.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.

Removed the moon mask and put a 3″ x 5″ post it note on so only about 1/2″ of the top note is showing at the bottom.  Sponged Basic Black ink on the un-masked portion of the card stock.

Adhered my two triangles on the top note and drew a line for the glass stem using a Basic Black marker.

Stamped two small flowers on using a Basic Blacker marker to load my stamp.

Added a stem for my flowers using a Basic Black marker and then added centers to the flowers using a White Gel Pen.

Stamped my sentiment using Rose Red ink.

Added 2 Melon Mambo panels and 2 Basic Black panels.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May you have many things to toast about in the coming year!

Until my next post. . . . . . .
