Lemonade Anyone?

Hi everyone!

Are you ready for those warm spring days that are coming? I'm really looking forward to sitting on the patio, enjoying the sunshine and having a glass of homemade lemonade!

This little card was so much fun to make! I used Cardstock Vellum to make the glass and on the inside I sponged Summer Sun. I scored the vellum on either side and used sticky strip to adhere to the card. After the sponging, I ran a strip of glue pen across the top of the glass and then dipped it in Dazzling Diamonds for a sugary ring.  I stamped a lemon slice and cut it in half, put a bit of snail adhesive on the stamped side and adhered them onto the sponged inside so it looks like pieces of lemon floating in the glass.

Next, I adhered one side of the glass and then I bent the vellum slightly and attached the other side. I added a mini juice straw and the little leaves die, if you use your imagination it could be a mint sprig!  LOL!!  I stamped the sentiment on a Summer Sun lemon slice and punched it out with a 3/4" circle punch  and the other lemon slice I cut up to the center and slid it onto the rim of the glass.

Mmmmm....don't you feel like an nice tall glass of lemonade now?  This is so pretty in real life and so much fun to make! 

I can just picture strawberry margaritas, lime daquiri, Shirley Temple with a cherry hanging off the top of the glass....Tart and Tangy is such a great stamp set and the Carstock Vellum is fabulous to work with.

Here is what my glass template looks like, I put a clear plastic glass down on some copy paper and traced it around. Then I cut it out, it measures approximately 3 3/4" tall, 2 3/4" across the top rim and 1 14/16" across the bottom.

I traced it onto cardstock vellum (which is nice and sturdy but still see through) scored approximately 1/4" on each side of the vellum glass and put double sided sticky strip along the edge/score line.  So, those are the measurements .... I'm not sure if you can copy the picture below and then print it....I printed mine on Microsoft Office Picture, using 4 to a page and it came out nearly the same as my original template.

Okay...I just tried it myself {g} right click on the picture below, hit 'Save Picture As' then it will save to your picture file.  Then when you click on it and hit print, you can chose the 4 to a page and it should print for you...that is unless you don't have Microsoft...then...I have no idea how you do it!  Okay, confession time...I'm not the techiest person around!  LOL!

I hope you enjoyed my lemonade card and hope you make some too.  Thanks for stopping by and sharing your time with me!
