Margarita Birthday Card | Pretty Pink Posh

Hello, my creative friends! It’s Leica here on the PPP blog today. I want to show you a fun card I made with the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. The main focus of the card is a delicious margarita drink. It has quickly become my favorite product from the latest release. Let’s get started!

First, I prepared a white card base that’s the size of a standard A2 card. Then, I used the Streamers Stencils with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks to add some colorful patterns. To make it more interesting, I splattered some white ink.

Next, I took a piece of vellum to create a softer background. I added a yellow frame around it using the Fancy Cake Dies. I really like how the frame gives my cards a nice border.

Then, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out the mug shape and made a window for the shaker element using the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I turned the mug into a short glass by removing the handle. To make the shaker, I attached a clear plastic sheet on the back of the mug, just below the rim. It’s important to keep the plastic below the rim so you can put a stirrer or straw into the glass. I added foam around the frame of the mug to create a space for the shaker, and I put in some Lemon Lime Clay Confetti and vellum cut into ice cubes. I also cut lime slices from green cardstock and glued them onto the card, as well as one on the rim of the glass. To make it more realistic, I added salt around the rim using Diamond Dust and Nuvo Crystal Drops as the glue.

For the sentiment, I cut out the word “cheers” from teal glitter cardstock. I layered a few pieces to give it dimension. I also heat embossed the phrase “Happy birthday to you” in white on a strip of black cardstock.

Of course, no Pretty Pink Posh card is complete without some confetti. I added some Lemon Shimmer Mix for extra sparkle and interest.

And that’s all for my margarita birthday card. I absolutely adore the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I’ve already made so many cards with them, and I’ll be sharing more card ideas soon.

Have a fantastic day!
