Lawn Fawn - Build a Drink Shaker Card

Hi there,

I'm back today on Lawn Fawn YouTube channel & blog with a refreshing shaker mojito I made using a mix of new products from the Summer 2023 release and older ones. No stamped and colored images on this new card, only die cuts and some inking.

I started off by cutting a Tropical Leaves Backdrop panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock that I colored using blue oxide inks: salty ocean all over the leaves, and then prize ribbon on the edges. I added texture to make this backdrop more interesting and started with a mix of chipped sapphire oxide ink and water that I splattered all over the leaves using a small brush, and also a mix of white ink and water that I splattered on the leaves as well.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I covered the whole panel with tumbled glass oxide ink, and then used the Tropical Leaves Background stencils along with white ink to add a subtle decor to this panel. I dried and heat set the ink using my heat tool, and then cut a second Tropical Leaves Backdrop out of green shimmery cardstock. And next I assembled my background: I attached the green backdrop on top of the plain blue panel using 1 foam squares, and attached the blue backdrop on top of the green backdrop using 1mm foam squares again.

I created my shaker mojito using Build A Drink, and I invite you to watch the video down below to see the whole process, and check the list of supplies for more details ^^

To decorate the top of the glass and each side of it, I die cut a whole bunch of elements:

- the straw, parasol, slices of lime, ice cubes and small leaves from Build A Drink

- the limes, big leaves and flowers from Zesty Lemon

I added mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks to some of those pieces to bring more depth and interest, and next I assembled everything on my panel. Leaving some space for my greeting at the bottom of the panel, I first attached the shaker glass in the middle of it using liquid glue. And I added all the die cut pieces using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots.

Next I cut a black banner using the Heart Garland Portrait Backdrop die set, I white heat embossed my "Happy summer" greeting from Pool Party on top of it, and finally attached the banner below the shaker mojito using foam squares.
