Felt Pumpkin pencil topper AKA non-candy

Audrey used new stamps and dies to create an adorable outdoor scene of sweet drinks lined up for a Summer celebration. I love the splashy watercolor sky and grass background she created! Take a closer look at the Lawn Fawn blog.

Nothing hits the spot on a hot Summer day better than a cold drink! All those yummy Summery fruits can be used to create cocktails and mocktails as well as lemonade and iced tea. I’ve seen lots of fun paper crafting products and cards for Summer that feature cool drinks so today let’s be inspired to include so sip-able Summer Drinks on our handmade card designs.

I love the rich, deep colors Emily used on her die cut drink card. The drink itself looks like an amazing sunset over the sea and below she added foiled waves and sentiment along with die cut fruits, leaves and a flower. Find all the details at the Spellbinders blog.

Being from the south it’s always charming to me to see drinks in Mason jars like on this sweet card from Deby. Using a color palate of orange and pink she stenciled a citrus background, adding die cut drinks and fruit with a stamped sentiment. Learn more at the Taylored Expressions blog.

On this Summertime card the drink is not the focus but it’s a big part of the enjoyment of this stamped girl floating on the water with a bubbly stenciled background and funny stamped sentiment. I spotted this card idea on the Polkadoodles Instagram page.

Inking and foiling combine to create a bold and vibrate background on a drinks card from Shemaine. The stamped drinks were colored with Copic markers and layered over vellum with a foiled sentiment added. She breaks it all down at the Therm O Web blog.

This pretty in pink Martini card from Susan also has pops of yellow and loads of sparkle. The cute flamingo and flowers were all die cut from colored cardstocks and the sentiments and glass were cut from different sparkly papers. The floaty wrapped around the glass is so clever! Find all the details at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.

This trendy faux postage design features everything you need for a wonderful Summer picnic including lemonade. Stencils were used for most of the images on the die cut postage stamps but there’s also some fun cancelation stamps too. This collection is available at LDRS Creative.

This tall slimline fruity drink card from Larissa is simply delicious! She die cut and inked her textured blue background adding her drink and accessories stamped in black and heat embossed then colored with Copic markers over top. Find all the details at the Trinity Stamps blog.

This cute kitty is enjoying a marvelous meow-garita on a fun and festive card by Tatiana. Notice how she pulled some of the pink in the cats paws and ears into the stenciled green and pink sunburst background. There’s also glitter paste on the background and a bit on the glass rim for salt, so cute! All the info can be found at the Newton’s Nook Designs blog.

This amazing card from Bobbi takes you to the Tropics with pineapples, drinks in coconuts and tall daiquiris, all stamped and colored with Copics. She tied a lot of the colors together with splatters of ink and thin strips of cardstock on the card base. Learn more at the Sunny Studio blog.

The bold yellow and red color combo on this lovely lemony card just screams Summer! The stenciled and scalloped die cut plaid background looks like a picnic blanket and the die cut and stamped drink is so inviting. I love the straw that spells Hello! This set is available at The Greetery.

This yummy card from Amy is a real party! The pink and green colors give the perfect watermelon vibes all over. The design features die cut and ink blended drinks, stamped watermelons, die cut cherries, a heat embossed sentiment and stenciled sunburst background. Find the details at the Doodlebugs blog.

This wonderful card from Gemma has 12 different drinks in a rainbow of different colors. Notice there are only a few different styles of glasses but she mixed them up with different color combos. She placed each one over a stenciled circle in grey, adding a heat embossed sentiment to finish it off. Take a closer look at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

These quick and easy drink cards from Tami use images cut from pattern paper for Summertime sips cards. Add a stamped sentiment and a bit of embellishment and you’ve got a simple festive card in no time. Find directions at the Stamp with Tami blog.

I hope find time to sit and sip some Summer drinks while making some handmade cards.
