Drink Happy Thoughts

Hi friends! Today is the launch of a fabulous new quarterly release from Not 2 Shabby. It's filled with a few of my favorite things... gnomes and hot beverages, making it a must have release in my opinion.

Today I'm featuring the Drink Happy Thoughts stamp set along with the Brewing it Up paper pad and coordinating ephemera. There are so many fabulous patterns and images in the paper and ephemera, and the stamp set is too cute for words!

I recently ordered a Pop Up Box Die and decided this new collection would be perfect to create my first ever pop up box card!  I colored up the gnome image from Drink Happy Thoughts in Copic markers. using a color palette pulled from the papers.  I then die cut with the coordinating Drink Happy Thoughts Shabby Snips. I added a few Copic marker accents to  the ephemera pieces I picked out.

I cut the base pieces of the pop up box from Navy cardstock, then cut some additional pieces to mat those layers.  The drink happy thoughts is embossed and die cut, as well as a few of the snowflake images. Once I had everything colored, cut, and ready, I just assembled with glue and added some glitter accents and a few of the new Brewing it Up sparkle enamel dots.  Once everything was done, I created a fun little paper clip book mark with a scrap of paper and some read cardstock. I finished with a bit of ribbon and added it over the back of the card as a fun accent and surprise gift.

Thanks so much for stopping by! There's a bunch of other new products in the release, so be sure to head to the shop to check everything out. Have a wonderful day!
