Cheers and Sips Masculine Card for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop - plus a surprise card!

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Masculine Birthday - my favourite type of card to make. I'm surrounded by men/boys - I'm outnumbered at home. This really is my most favourite type of card to create. I feel like many people struggle to create a masculine card, I love the challenge. Keep reading till the end to see a surprise card!

I have created what I'm calling the Ice tray card. The reverse side of Stampin' Up! DSP packs are usually block colours with a slight pattern and make this pack of Celebratory Sips has the perfect background for my creation.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

Using the Cheers and Sips bundle and dsp pack, I have cut 1-1/2" squares from 2 sheets of DSP and glued them to sheet of Basic white (3-1/2 x 5-1/8"). The next frame is Timid Tiger - my new favourite orange! Then finally adhered to a Secret Sea card base. 

The images are stamped and die cut in the same colours and lifted with a foam dimensional.

The inside is a collage of the same images.

I've been so looking forward to use this bundle, I'm glad I've had a chance to use it for this blog hop!

NOW for the SURPRISE! I was so inspired by this card layout I really wanted to use the reverse side of the papers I used to recreate the same card. 

Heres what I created.. what do you think? 

I can almost taste the summer cocktail. These colours are pretty and work so well together.

Strawberry Slush, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

I never forget the inside, this time I mixed it up with stamping and embossed images.
