Margarita Card and Lime Box – Summer in 3D Blog Hop

Hi Friends!  Welcome to the Summer in 3D Blog Hop!  Be sure to visit all the creative ladies at the bottom of this post AND don’t miss the giveaway!

I can’t help but think of Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville song when I think of summer.  That’s why you’ll see the pop tops on my card.  If you’re familiar with the lyrics of that song, you’ll catch that reference immediately. 😉  I actually prefer daiquiri’s but I defer to the more famous margarita when making my fun summer 3d project.  Plus, that song wins hands down.  LOL!

I’m using SVGCut’s Fruity Fiesta SVG kit with the Sizzix Eclips to create this cute lime 3D box and fun margarita card.  To keep from wasting paper, I made notes of which pieces from the different projects used the same color cardstock.  That way I was able to group like colors and organize the shapes to take up the least amount of space on the paper.

This is the first time I’ve used this Circle Background by Darice.  I really like it!  I rubbed a yellow ink pad over it after it was embossed.  I’m on a same color inking jag right now.  Did you see when I used a pink/red combo earlier this week?  I love it!

Did you just say, “Hey, what I need are some stamps?”  Well, you can find these stamps and more in the Joy’s Life Store.  Don’t miss the Bundle Deals for Extra Savings!

The set I’m using here is “Pun in the Sun“.

Pun in the Sun stamps

I added Stickles to the rim of the glass so it would have the salted look.  I cut a slit in the side of the card and ran a piece of ribbon around it.  Next, I added Pop Up Glue Dots to hold the ribbon in place and help steady the stamped paper ribbon.

“I blew out my flip-flop…Stepped on a pop-top…” la la la la…

My daughter saved those pop tops for me from some energy drinks.   How sweet!  I love them on this card.

I wrapped some ribbon around the lime for added texture.  I was happy that this ribbon got used and that it matched so well!  I’m giving this card and box to my sister-in-law for her b’day in a week.  I’ll put a gift card and candy in the box.  She’ll like this!

    1. Craftykitten1,
      I am so weird. Um…duh…anyway, I grabbed that folder from my tons of them and thought, “I don’t know why but I feel drawn to use this circle folder.” After I was putting all the photos in the post I realized that the whole project is circle based. Hello…dork here!

  24. Well Joy, I just finished the 3D hop and I must say……your team is dripping in awesome sauce!!!! Everyone is so inspiring and so very talented…..thank you so much for having these hops. I have no doubt that everyone runs to their craft areas after seeing all these wonderful projects. By the way, I love the juice tabs you used in your project, and one of the newest things I get to check out because of this hop is washi tape…I have no idea what that is!! Thanks again for all you do!

    1. Eroses,
      Thank you so much for your kind words about the Team! I’m so glad you enjoyed the blog hop. I love it when I find new things and am glad you learned about Washi tape! I like to add it to envelopes and packages. It looks so fun for the recipient! Currently, I’m storing mine in a tall glass jar but another way to store them is this easy popsicle/craft stick way! Have a great day!

  42. Great summer projects–cute stamp sets.

  43. This does say summer all over it! I like the card but I am really in love with your little box, so cute! That circle folder added a great touch and it looks so cool inked like that. Fun times!!

    1. Thank you, Lynn! You know what? I almost threw out the box because I didn’t like the circles after I inked them. Now I’m so glad I didn’t! I think it helped pull the whole thing together. 😉
      ~Joy~

  44. Rita DeCook says:

    even though summer is almost over, this would be great for an outdoor get-together. While I’m not a ‘drinker’, I do enjoy a drink every now and then. I think this would add some ambience to the occasion. Labor Day is coming up. That would be a great way to end the summer.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win some wonderful stamps.

  45. Amy Prather-Smith says:
