Merry Little Cocktails Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Merry Little Cocktails

Today we are getting ready to raise a glass and say cheers with this adorable holiday card by Ellen! 

For this festive card she featured two of the fun holiday drinks from our Christmas Cocktails Stamp Set. She colored the drinks in fun bright colors and used the coordinating Christmas Cocktails Die Set to cut the images out. 

For her card base she created a beautiful patterned background by layering colors using our Argyle Stencil Set and Plaid Stencil Set together. Since both of these stencils include two pieces, there are tons of options for creating patterns. She used both pieces from the Plaid Stencil Set, using blue ink on one layer and green on the other. Then she used just the stitched diamond layer from the  Argyle Stencil Set to add a gorgeous red glittery stitched pattern! So pretty!

She cut this panel into a square and layered it onto a square card base. Then she cut more decorative squares using our Frames Squared Die Set with kraft colored and vellum paper. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment, "Have yourself a Merry little Cocktail" from theChristmas Cocktails Stamp Set. She added this message,  embossed in white onto a banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

What a fun way to celebrate the holidays!
