This month’s blog hop theme is Celebrate Summer, and what better way to do that than with a drink in hand and good friends by your side? Whether you’re sipping something cool by the pool, relaxing under a shady tree, or toasting to life’s little victories, nothing captures the spirit of summer quite like a refreshing drink and great company. That’s exactly what the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection brings to your craft table—it’s like a happy hour for paper crafters!
The suite is bursting with cheerful color and playful details that instantly reminded me of lazy summer evenings and laughter-filled gatherings. From mixed drinks to mocktails to fizzy sodas, the Cheers & Sips Stamp Set & Dies Bundle make it easy to create adorable cards and scrapbook pages full of flavor and fun. And if you usually shy away from fussy cutting—no worries! These cocktail images are simple to snip and perfect for mixing and layering into endless combinations.
The Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper adds bold, bubbly patterns that bring the party to life, while the Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon and Holographic Resin Dots add just the right amount of sparkle—like sunshine catching the rim of a fancy glass.
I also loved playing with the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders—they add the most beautiful texture to your backgrounds, like delicate glassware and leafy garden details. It’s a little bit garden party, a little bit cocktail hour, and the perfect finishing touch for summer projects.
If you’re ready to craft something fun, bright, and totally celebratory, this suite is for you. Pour yourself a little inspiration, grab your supplies, and let’s make something worth toasting to!

Celebratory Sips Scrapbook Project
I used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet to create a couple of fun scrapbook pages, inspired by the bright, festive feel of summer get-togethers and laid-back afternoons. The bold patterns, fresh florals, and playful drink images made it easy to create cheerful layouts that capture the spirit of celebration. This suite is perfect for documenting birthdays, patio parties, girls’ night, or any sunny, happy moment.
With coordinating stickers and patterned paper ready to go, you can mix, match, and layer without overthinking it. Whether you’re a seasoned scrapbooker or just getting started, the Celebratory Sips Suite brings effortless fun and personality to your memory keeping!
