Cheers Card

 How about a nice cold drink! Here's a refreshing card made with our new stamp set: Brewed for You! Whether it's beer or root beer it will quench your thirst!

This is a great masculine card but by changing up the papers/color it would also be a great feminine card. Even a teen card with root beer works.

This is a fantastic way to use scraps and makes an eye-catching card! Using 1/2" x 3" strips of papers I glued them to a 3" x 12" piece of Acetate leaving a slight space between each strip. Next step is to cut pieces of the acetate into 1/2" x 12" strips. Now create the background look by starting a diagonal piece then keep placing more pieces next to each other leaving the same slight space. Trim the excess off the edges as you go. You can do a full background like this or do any variety of partial backgrounds. You can use any combination of paper/cardstock to create your look. This is a random look with papers from Hey Handsome (link below) plus some Harbour Glitter Paper.

Other Close To My Heart products used for this card:


In the close-up you can see the shimmer from the Diamond Stickles on the "foam". Also, look to  the upper left of the mugs and you can see how the acetate gives off a shine when the light hits it. It's a really nice feature.
