Sounds perfect, right? Before you head to check out all the fun projects being posted, I wanted to share a card I created with a fun Spellbinders Impressabilities plate and of course a mix of some Core Essentials cardstock in the Brights range.
This background was embossed with the Spellbinders Impressabilities Pebbles template. I loved this pebbled texture for the background here because it reminded me of the look of icecubes... perfect to go with the lemonade theme! Using the Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge, I cut the lemonade cup with a layer of acrylic to make it appear more like a drinking glass and adhered it to the cardstock with some glossy accents. And, I also used an actual drinking straw too!
I hope you enjoy the blog swap and please be sure to check out the following Spellbinders links for more ideas and information:
