Summer Drink Card Using Just Dies: Minimal Stamping feat. Lawn Fawn

Hello friends. Here’s another fun summer card using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies. This requires minimal stamping. I used all dies except for the sentiment strip and added texture to the background using a Tim Holtz stencil. I love how bright this card turned out. Definitely some summer vibes happening here!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece die cut using the Catherine Pooler Scallops & Dots Dies.

I inked the background with the Tim Holtz Rays Layering Stencil (THS003) and Catherine Pooler Designs Cummerbund and Fiesta Blue Inks.

I die cut the glass from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, it’s background from Stampin’ Up! So Saffron 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock (retired), using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink. I die cut the lemons, limes and all greenery from Stampin’ Up! So Saffron 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock (retired), Simon Says Stamp 100lb Green Apple and 100lb Green Leaf Cardstocks using Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon and Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies. I die cut the ice cubes from Crafter’s Companion Shimmering 6 x 6″, White Pearl Cardstock and the straw from Lawn Fawn GOTTA HAVE GINGHAM RAINBOW 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies and the fruit basket from Lawn Fawn Fruit Salad 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack using the Lawn Fawn Fruit Basket die.

I added dimension to the images by inking them. I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink for the lighter leaves and limes; Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink for the darker leaves and stems; Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink for the lemons and the drink and Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand Ink (retired) for the fruit basket.

I die cut one of the banners from from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners Dies and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm Stampset with Midnight Ink.

I finished off the card by adding Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I left inside of the card blank and just added a small lime wedge.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a card base, die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Coffee Break 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (retired) with the largest die in the Lawn Fawn Large Slimline with Sliders and cut another piece to 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″. I cut a piece of Stampin’ Up!’ Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to 1-3/8 x 8-1/4″ which I embossed using the Stampin’ Up!’s Pinewood 3D Embossing Folder (retired) and added some Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso Ink to highlight the raised areas.

On the aqua pattern paper background I added coffee rings using Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso and Pool Party Inks. I used the lids of small bottle like a small squeeze bottle and other aorund my craft room.

I die cut the glasses and beverage parts from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink. I colored the cold brew coffee with Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso Ink and the latte with Catherine Pooler Designs Sand Castle and Over Coffee inks. I added water to both drinks as well as some white specs to the latte beverage with White Acryic Paint.

The ice cubes were cut from Vellum and the coffe beans from Stampin’ Up!’ Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and inked with Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso Ink. the starw was die cut from a green piece of pattern paper from Stampin’ Up!’s Coffee Break 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (retired).

I stamped the donuts from Lawn Fawn’s Donut Worry Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used E21, E34, and E23 for the doughnut and YG01, YG25 & YG17 and R81, R83, & R85 for the frostings.

I die cut the ‘latte’ word from Stampin’ Up!’ Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps Honeycut Latte Dies 3x and the shadow from Vellum. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps LATTE Stamp Set with Over Coffee ink.

I finished off the card by adding white highlights with a Uni-Ball Signo Broad Point White Gel Pen and shimmer to the ice cubes, beans, and ‘latte’ word with Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of pattern paper from Stampin’ Up!’s Coffee Break 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (retired) to 1 x 8-1/2″ and stamped a sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Shake It Off Stamps with Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso Ink and added some beans and a donut.
