ReplyDeleteBeautiful card that is wonderful for all those cocktail lovers. Love the frosting on the rim of the glass.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lyn on winning Wednesday's card.
Hi Sue. Great card, it's made me smile as it reminds me of a great card on Paul's fb group using this die but with a party girl topper positioned inside the cocktail glass, a great 18/21st or 'Hen Night' invitation but the collection is fun and very very versatile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly amazing card you've become owner of Lyn many congratulations to you, what a way to start the day ☺
Not sure if you had a quick glance of the closing ceremony of the winter Olympic games Sue, but the stadium had the shape similar to one of your hexagonal /octagonal frames but had a kind of weaving pattern to it when the lights shone on it from a bird's eye view, it bought to mind what a great addition to the weaving dies this would make, to have a large frame with the weaving effect. I'm the same with kitchen paper lol see a beautiful pattern and imagin an embossing folder !
Maybe therapy would help 😉 lol.
Sending love and hugs and hope your day is a great one whatever your plans or wherever you are xxx
What fun! Lots of optical foolery. Somewhere, someday, someone is going to lick that sugar rim and find it lacking flavor.
ReplyDeleteCheers to all enjoying guilt-free idleness today.
Best,
Donita
Good Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely hilarious. I am going to make a card with this die set today for my daughter in law's birthday later in the year and was only looking at this card yesterday for ideas.
Congratulations to Lyn

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tips in your video!
Fun card. Good for any celebratory occasion.
ReplyDeleteI think I need what ever could be put into that glass when the snow melts and I can celebrate having heating on again. Needless to say my condensate pipe froze again last night. I should have made the anniversary card yesterday morning whilst I did have temporary heating...... that'll larn me! Oh well, they say it is going to warm up this coming week. Bet you aren't enjoying this weather Sue.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue, Award Winning Blog 2016
ReplyDeleteToday’s Card Is Just Magnificent I Purchased These Particular Cutting Dies When You Released Them
It Was A Friend Of Mines Birthday A Couple Of Days Prior To Christmas So I Used These Dies She Loved It
I Went Shopping I Purchased A Pack Of Straws Plus Those Little Umbrellas For Cocktail Drinks Glasses Also
I Found Some Glass Rings That People Attach To The Glasses At Parties Etc:- I Glued Mine On.
I’ve Another Birthday Card To Make For A Young Girl At My Hairdresser So This Is Fantastic For Her, Thank You
For The Jolt To Remind Me To Use This Spectacular Cutting Dies Set, I Love The Font Of The Sentiment.

Sue Wilson’s 3D Cosmopolitan Cocktail Die Set (From The Necessities Collection 11 Cutting Dies)
Sue Wilson’s Cocktail Glasses Die Set (From The Necessities Collection 11 Cutting Dies)
Sue, You Started Today’s Remarkable Card By Taking The Die That Creates The Top Part Of The Cocktail Glass
You Cut This Out Using Acetate (You Mentioned It’s Best Not To Use A Thick Acetate But A Thinner Acetate)
Once You Had Cut This Out You Showed Us In The Video Tutorial Where The Fold Marks Are On The Acetate Then You
Creased It Which Gives You The Shape Of The Upper Part of Your Cocktail Glass.
Next You Added A Line Of Cosmic Shimmer Specialists Dries Clear Acrylic Glue Across The Rim Of Your Acetate (Glass)
Sue, You Then Added To This Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels Iced Snow, So Once This Is Dry It Gives It A Sugared Look
You Placed This To One Side Then You Cut Out Your Full Cocktail Glass From Coconut White Foundation Card You Added
A Touch Of Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink To This, Then You Cut Out Your Background (The Whole Glass Once Again)
Using A Piece Of Deep Raspberry Foundation Card, Once Cut Out You Cut Away The Bottom Half Of The Glass Also Just A
Slither From The Top, You Glued This Into Place Then You Attached Your Acetate By Using Single Sided Tape To Both
Of The Creased Sides Making Sure That Your Acetate Bows Slightly At The Front To Create A Look Of Glass
Sue, You Had Created A Coconut White Background Approx One Third At The Bottom You Attached Your Spotty Paper From
Your Stash, Then You Added A Strip Of Mounting Foam To The Back Of Your Cocktail Glass You Placed This Onto Your
Background, You Also Cut Out The Stupendous Umbrella/Straw (The Embossing Is So Detailed) You Cut The Umbrella Out
Of The Same Spotty Paper (It Looks Fabulous) You Trimmed The Ends Slightly Then Glued Them Just Behind
The Deep Raspberry Background In Your Cocktail Glass, You Then Added This To Your Main Card Using Mounting Foam
Onto A Coconut White/Black/Coconut White Mat/Layer, You Cut Out The Sentiment CHEERS Twice From Black
Foundation Card Then Layered Them Together For Extra Stability Then You Spray Glued, Then Placed Them To The Top
Of Your Superb Card You Added Three Black Dazzlers To Your Pink Spotty Paper By Using A Touch Of Glue...

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, happy card today that looks good enough to drink. There are so many occasions when this card could be used and would be sure to bring a smile to the recipients face.
Hope that everyone is staying safe and warm with snows that you have been having. Last night we had sustained winds of 67 mph and gusts up to 97 mph. It was so loud it was impossible to sleep and it felt like any minute the house was going to take off and fly. Thankfully it calmed down quite a bit this afternoon but there were lots of trees down, shutters and roof shingles lying around. The only thing you can say about the weather these days is that it is unpredictable.
Congratulations to Lynne on winning the card giveaway, it was such a beautiful card.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly
Such a beautiful card Sue and your video is superb.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lyn on your win. Isn't it a lovely feeling.
Hugs to all who need them.
