With Sprinkles On Top

Hi, everyone!  This week's Clean and Simple Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Sweet'.....I've had this 'Sweet Ice Cream' set from Stampin Up for a year and finally inked it up for a friend's birthday.  I stamped each section and used the coordinating punches, but I didn't like the white borders so I fussy cut them off.  The center of the white card was sponged with yellow before adhering the ice cream cone sections to it.

Thanks for stopping by!

You Are So Cool!

Hi, everyone!  It's been a couple of days since I was able to stamp, so I have a lot of catching up to do.  Splitcoast held a 'Virtual Stamp Night' event Friday night and all day Saturday, so you will see many cards from me this week as I complete at least some of the challenges and post the photos by next Sunday's deadline.  Though each VSN challenge must be submitted separately, we are allowed to combine them with the daily Splitcoast challenges.  For this card I have combined Misti's 'Ice Cream Social' challenge with this week's Featured Stamper challenge.  This week's chosen artist is Selma Stevenson....wow, what an amazing gallery!!  Since the VSN cards should only take an hour to create, I chose this super cute card from Selma's gallery and changed the cupcake to an ice cream cone.  The layout design was kept the same except that I used a polka dot design from the NCC Sweet Shoppe Paper Collection;  instead of stars around the image, I used sprinkles and both Selma's cupcake and my ice cream cone have a cherry on top and a sentiment at the bottom.  The ice cream image and sentiment banner are from 'What's The Scoop?'; the cherry and sprinkles are from the ODBD Custom Beverage Cup Dies set and the framing was cut with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies set. 

Thanks for visiting!  Stay tuned for more posts!

Chocolate Malt

Hi, everyone!  This is a fun card I made for the DTGD16albitas challenge.  The malt image from the North Coast Creations set, 'Ice Cream Shoppe' was stamped, fussy cut, watercolored, then popped up over an oval frame cut out with the ODBD Custom Ovals Dies, matted with one of the ODBD Custom Layered Lacey Ovals Dies.  I thought that the swirly pattern in the die cut matched the strip of designer paper from the ODBD Birthday Bash Paper Collection.

You're Cool!

Hi, everyone!  This is a birthday card for a nephew who is full of energy and super fun.....I chose the perfect sentiment for him and the card built itself around that!  The image is from 'Ice Cream' and the  sentiment is from 'Ice Cream Shoppe', both from North Coast Creations, sister company to Our Daily Bread designs.  Along with the NCC stamps, I also used the following items from Our Daily Bread designs: ODBD Custom 'Leafy Edged Borders' Dies (curved border), ODBD Custom 'Sparkling Stars' Dies, ODBD Custom 'Ovals' and 'Stitched Ovals' Dies, and the ODBD 'Patriotic Paper Collection'.  After coloring the image with sponge daubers and markers, I applied Liquid Applique, then heated it with my heat gun to make it 'poof' up and look like whipped cream....yummy!!  I used a glaze pen on the spoon and cherry.

Have a Sweet Day!

Hi, everyone!  Today I have a "sweet" card I would like to share with you.  This is a birthday card I made using the "What's The Scoop?" set by North Coast Creations.  To create the Neopolitan triple scoop, the ice cream  scoop was stamped onto vanilla, light pink, and cocoa.....the cone was stamped on caramel cardstock.  All of the pieces were cut out and popped up over a panel which was scored with my Scor-buddy.  The cherry was stamped, colored with markers, cut out, then added Ranger Glossy Accents.  Paper piercing, grosgrain ribbon, and cocoa colored pearls were added as finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

"So Cool" Ice Cream Cone!

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a fun birthday card for a friend of mine.  He loves anything sweet....chocolate, pie, cake, ice cream, cookies....you name it!  So I just had to use my new "What's the Scoop?" set by North Coast Creations.

I will be submitting this for the Clean and Simple "That Smells Great!" Challenge over at Splitcoast.....I'm getting hungry just thinking about what chocolate ice cream smells like!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

For my first sample, I have used the new "You're The Bomb" set!!!

This is an anniversary card for my hubby......tomorrow is our 21st Anniversary!  After cutting out and coloring the popsicles, I covered them (and the little heart) with Ranger Glossy Accents.  I'm so proud of myself that I was able to let them dry for a couple of hours without "testing" them to see if they were dry.....I have ruined so many projects due to impatience!! :)  The background was stamped with the "Wood Background" from NCC's parent company, Our Daily Bread designs.  I love how easy it is to mix and match the stamps from both companies!!

Our next super fun set is "What's the Scoop?"  Who doesn't like ice cream, right?!  I plan to use both of these new sets for kid cards, however, I have quite a few adults in mind as well!

My second sample today is a Mint-Chocolate Chip treat created with the "What's The Scoop?" set......I LOVE this set.....it makes me silly and giggly!!!!  I used masking to create the layered look.....when you do masking, make sure you cut your mask just inside the lines, so that when you stamp the next piece, the stamped lines will match up with no gaps.  The ice cream and cone were colored with sponge daubers and the chocolate pieces were cut from brown cardstock and glued on randomly. The background was stamped with the "Gingham Background" stamp from Our Daily Bread designs.....who needs designer paper when you have great background stamps?!

 

Thanks for hanging out with us today!  Hope you have enjoyed all of the fun projects!!!  For more samples, visit the Samples Gallery at North Coast Creations!
