Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope everyone has a productive week. Is everyone getting their shopping lists ready? ONE week before the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes live. I can’t wait to get lots of new products.

For today I decided to play with a bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It’s a pretty quick card too. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting the center of a Ice Cream Corner DSP card front using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink on top of the solid image and punched the cone out using my Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream scoop image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Petal Pink and Pool Party Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and punched them out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the Pool Party ice cream to the cone using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sprinkles from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream and adhered it on top of the Pool Party scoop using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the ice cream cone to the opening of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the bottom of the cone using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the ends.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! CAS Sweet Ice Cream Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have to go into work today, but only for a couple hours to close out the end of the month. Hard to believe that January is gone already.

For today’s card I made another clean and simple card using the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My colors and design are from my Upline, Jaimie Babarczy. These were the colors and sketch she gave us to work from this week. I have to admit, I did have a little trouble putting the colors and sketch together. I had to think outside the box a bit.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set first in Pool Party Ink, then Real Red Ink and last in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. I used my Stamparatus to like everything up perfectly.

I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered it to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a thin strip of Basic White cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut it into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored 2 of the Pearl Basic Jewels using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the 2 colored pearls and a Matte Black Dot next to the coordinating color stamped sentiments.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party and Real Red Ink next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set on the envelope front and the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning and Happy New Year’s Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready to say good-bye to 2020? I sure am. This will be a year to remember for sure, a different kind of year. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our theme for this week.

Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card today along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a Pool Party card front to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the waffle image on top of the cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut the cone out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set 3 times on the panel of Whisper White cardstock, once in Petal Pink Ink, once in Bumblebee Ink stamped off once and once in Soft Seafoam Ink. I cut all the images out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink multiple times on the panel. I adhered the ice cream cone to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Soft Seafoam ice cream on top of the cone using Glue Dots. I adhered the Bumblebee ice cream on top of the Soft Seafoam using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Petal Pink on the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items used for my card will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Amy’s page.
