Sweet Scoops

I'm back with another ice cream card because I was on a roll! I used the Fine Art Floral designer series paper for the ice cream and the cone. When I use dsp I like to back it with cardstock because it feels too flimsy to me. I simply glue the cardstock to the back of the dsp. You may notice the ribbon is dyed. I started with the whisper white polka dot tulle ribbon. If you want to see how to dye ribbon check out this video I did on Facebook awhile back.

Baby Blue

I didn't have a current baby stamp set from Stampin' Up! so I was thrilled to see this Baby Pull Toys stamp set in the spring mini catalog. It's quick and easy to color in and has a nice bold outline. I used one of my favorite backgrounds, the best plaid builder dies in the basic black cardstock with a white panel behind it.

It's kind of crazy calling the new mini catalog a Spring catalog when we are in the middle of freezing cold temps here in January in Minnesota. Spring won't arrive here until at least April. I really want to go visit my son in Austin, Texas but I don't feel comfortable flying right now. I haven't seen him since last February just before the Covid shut downs. It would feel a lot more like Spring there. I'll just have to stamp bright and cheery Spring looking cards until then.

You can see all of the supplies used on the card below. To order any of the products you can go to my website.

Pink ice cream

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? With the new Sweet Ice cream bundle you can make any flavor(or color) of ice cream you want! I'm not eating sugar these days so making ice cream cards is the closest I will come to that. But what a cute set!!!

I wanted the chance to use petal pink so that dictated the rest of my card. The sprinkles add just the right touch of color and dimension. Did you know the sprinkles are in Stampin' Up! colors? How fun is that? The colors are Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Purple Posy and Terracotta Tile. And to complete the color coordination the designer series paper in this suite have those colors in it as well! This is one of the things I so love about Stampin' Up! The color coordination of products can't be beat!

I forgot to order the designer series paper on my first order from the spring catalog. So I was looking around for a designer series paper with the colors I wanted and couldn't find one I had. Whenever I want a background in a color I don't have already I look to my background stamps or more often the Best Plaid builder dies. They are one of my faves! Here's the card:

I've been busy making other ice cream cards and I got in the pack of designer series paper that coordinates with the set so there will be many more ice cream cards to come! All of the supplies for the card can be ordered on my website.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Spotted Strawberries

As we make our way through January I have found some time to get in my craft room and play with all of my new stamping products. Sale-a-bration started in January and so did the Spring catalog so there are lots of new things to choose from.

I love a good floral stamp set. But sometimes it's nice to switch it up with something else. This Sweet Strawberry stamp set has a coordinating punch making it that much more fun to stamp with! There is also a coordinating stamp set/designer series paper bundle you can earn for FREE in the Sale-a-bration catalog called Berry Blessings. I haven't had a chance to play with this stamp set yet but the designer series paper from this bundle is the yellow polka dot paper in my card below.

Supplies are listed below. You can purchase the supplies from my website.

Thanks for stopping by today!
