Visual Supply list below.
Before creating any cards, all of the press plates were Hot Foiled & negative Hot foiled with Prism foil on Hammermill cardstock using the glimmer System before die cutting them. The plates were also used in the Betterpress system to heat emboss the image and sentiments with Black embossing folder before die cutting.
The First card uses the Foiled Martini Mood press plate image. It is coloured with Copic markers before adding Glossy accents over the Liquid in both glasses and allowing to dry. The background layers are die cut using the Linear Touch Rectangles & tag die set before assembling the card. A bit of Stickles are added to the rim of the glass.
The Second card uses the heat embossed Press plate image & Sentiment. It was Embossed on Distress watercolour cardstock and the image is watercoloured with Distress reinkers. The liquid in both glasses on this image is also covered with Glossy accents and a small line of stickles are added to the glass rim before allowing to dry. The Peridot cardstock on the front of the card is embossed with one of the Linear Touch Rectangle dies to add subtle embossed detail before assembling the card.
The Next two card use the Sip, Sip Ole die set. The third card pieces are die cut and assembled. The pieces for the salted rim of the glass were die cut from White glitter cardstock and the glass is die cut from Matte silver cardstock. The card layers are die cut from the Linear Touch Rectangles die set and the card is finished off with a Foiled Sentiment from the Sip, Sip Ole Sentiments set.
The fourth card uses the Sip, Sip Ole die set to create a Shaker card element from the glass die cuts. Once the shaker element is created a frame is die cut from the Linear Touch Rectangles die set and the card is assembled. Stickles are added to the centres of the flowers for some sparkle.
The next two card were created with the Fountain wishes die set as well as the Fountain Wishes sentiments set. Extra interest and texture is created by using different Metallic & Glitter cardstocks from Treasured cardstock packs. The fifth card uses the bird & balloons die cuts from the set and the background of the card is embossed using the Floating balloons 3D Embossing folder.

A one-light is used to turn this card into a light up card with the candle flame die from the Fountain wishes set used to die cut an opening for the light to shine through. The background is embossed with the Damask embossing folder for some added texture.
