Sparkly Drink Card Ideas!

These cards are all about celebration – with plenty of shine to match! Between the glittery margarita and the golden wedding toast, I had fun mixing textures, sparkle, and a touch of glam to make each one feel party-ready.

Let’s start the celebration with the first design…

Card #1 – Sip Sip Olé!

And nothing says fiesta like a sparkly margarita! The cocktail glass is die cut from Dazzling Diamonds glitter cardstock, catching the light from every angle.

I hot-foiled the sentiment in metallic gold to match the celebratory feel and added rhinestones as bubbly accents.

The little candy skull brings the fun – complete with golden metallic eyes and a matching cocktail pick for a festive finishing touch.

💡 Quick Tips

  • Swap the candy skull for a fruit slice or umbrella to suit any celebration.
  • Use a metallic gel pen or embossing powder if you don’t have a hot foil machine.
  • Rhinestones, sequins, or even Nuvo drops work perfectly as “bubbles.”

Card #2 – A Special Toast!

From fiesta fun to golden elegance, this wedding design brings a touch of glam to the celebration.

The die-cut glass is filled with Dazzling Diamonds sparkle, accented by a diamond ring, gold stilettos, top hat, and bow tie for that dressed-up vibe.

To keep the eye on the focal point, I added a softly ink-blended circle background behind the glass – it frames the scene perfectly without taking away from all that shine.

💡 Quick Tips

  • Soft ink blending behind metallic elements helps them stand out without overpowering the design.
  • Mixing matte and metallic cardstock adds dimension and balance to shiny projects.
  • Try swapping the wedding details for birthday or engagement elements to make it more versatile.


Glitter, gold, and good vibes all round – that’s my kind of celebration! Which one’s your favourite, the margarita or the golden toast?
