My Imagination Monday - CCR Carts

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Monday.

Today is the first Monday that I am posting for

My Cricut Craft Room.

Since I do not have an Imagine and don't

use CCR, I never signed up for Mondays.

Well once I found out that once you buy

CCR Exclusive cartridges, and you update

your Gypsy, then you can use the CCR

carts with your Gypsy!!  How cool is that.

So for today, I chose to use the

CCR Exclusive "Mixed Drinks".

Today's card is dedicated to my

DT sister Teresa!!

Once of my favorite mixed drinks

are Green Apple and Lemon Drop Martinis!!

"Mixed Drinks" did not have a martini

so, I used the Manhatten cut.

I cut is at 4"

It is hard to see in the picture

but I cut the layer for the glass

from the clear plastic packaging from one

of my cricut cartridges.  I like to save

them for when I want a clear element.

I had the perfect sentiment for this card.

It is from Peachy Keens "Happy Hour" stamp set.

The pattern paper is from

DCWV Green Tea Stack.

for the first layer, I used a Martha Stewart

corner punch.  I inked the card base

with Distress Ink in Mustard Seed.

The next layer is a Spellbinders

Label Ten.  I added some Stickles

in Crystal around the rim of the glass

to represent the sugar on the rim

of a Lemon Drop Martini.

I thought the card needed a little more

so I added some gems

and flourishes from Recollections.

The ribbon is from My Craft Spot.

Doesn't this just look yummy!!
