Vibrant Tropical Drinks
Hi, crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with a colorful summer cocktail card. I made this during a heatwave in the hope it would help to quench my thirst. I love mixing and matching products. So let me show you how I made this card with some products from the new June 2026 Pretty Pink Posh release.
I started by cutting a white piece of cardstock to 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches and cutting a card base for it. Then I used the largest die from the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Dies on a white piece of paper. I put the new Watercolor Strips Stencil on top of it and started ink blending it, every opening a different pastel color. You can use the masks that come with the stencil to make sure you don’t get a color where you don’t want it to go. I used the same colors around the edges of my 4 ¼ x 5 ½ white panel. Added some sparkle splatters, and there we go. We have our base pieces for the card.
I die-cut pieces from the Summer Cocktails Die, Summer Holder Additions Die and the Hibiscus Flowers Die in different colors. And added shading to it by using a darker ink color on them. I put all the elements together with a liquid glue. After that I wanted a sentiment; I used the Large Summer Shadow Die for it. I cut the shadow layer I cut in white and the lettering from some gold glitter foam paper. Then added some purple to the shadow layer and glued them together.
For the assembly of my card, I attached all the elements with liquid glue and foam to give some dimension to my card. As a finishing touch, I used some glossy accents on the beach ball and the glass cocktail.
