Happy 4th to our Sweet Land of Liberty

 

•  Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch for Happy 4th themed greeting card
• Travelling?  Take along one of the new Kit Collections for easy crafting while away
• 15% off Select Designer Series Paper Sale - 1 July- 2 August 2021

Celebrating the long week-end with a fun card using the Ice Cream Builder Punch, which coordinates with the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set.  Just add Real Red, Pacific Point Blue and Basic White cardstock ice cream layers, plus a little bit of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper for the cone, which you can also create using the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set.  I used dies from the Painted Labels Dies to create the Basic White label and the swirled background element.  Papers from the In Good Taste 12' X 12" Designer Series Paper Pack worked well with the Crumb Cake base card.  The sentiment is from an old retired stamp set, called July Fourth, which I'm so glad I kept!  I certainly works well with today's theme.  Happy Independence Day, all!   

The basecard for this card is Crumb Cake.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock, and then a woodgrain print from the In good Taste 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, which is part of the 15% off Paper Sale going on until 2 August 2021.  

 

I used another print from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper along with the the Painted Labels Dies to create the background element behind the sentiment labels.  I used another die from that set to create the Basic White sentiment label. The sentiment is from the retired July Fourth Stamp Set, now many years retired.  You may remember that these images were also offered as Digital Downloads at one time as well.  Make me wonder what other fun items I have hiding in my retired stash!   The sentiment is stamped in Pacific Point ink.   

I used more stamps from the July Fourth Stamp Set to stamp the inside of my card.  For the card front images, I used the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to create the layers in Red, White and Blue for my Ice Cream Cone.  The cone uses the recently retired Ice cream Corner Designer Series Paper, but the current Sweet Ice Cream stamp set includes images for stamping the cone.  The enamel stars are from retired enamel embellishments I've hung on to over the years.

I'm sure if you've been stamping a while, you'll find you've accumulate several items that are retired, long before you've stop loving them. I sure have.   I found a couple of star punches and some enamel stars in my retired stash that helped me complete the accents on this card.  One of the benefits of working with Stampin' Up! products is how well they coordinate throughout the years.  Don't be afraid to hang on to your favorite punches, dies, embellishments and papers.  If it appealed to you enough to purchase them, you'll definitely find a use as you create wonderful stamped projects for family and friends.  Order current Annual Catalog items from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.
