We all scream for Cool Treats and Ice Cream

  • I love Sherbet Ice Cream
  • Final weeks of Sale-A-Bration - 3rd wave of selections announced
  • Decorated Card Tin Class - March 26

Stampin' Up! Orange Sherbet Cool Treats

Today I'm using the Cool Treats Stamp set and matching dies again.  I can't seem to stay away.  I've fallen in love with Peekaboo Peach and I'm busy making card after card with Peekaboo Peach as the main accent color.       


     






I pulled out a set of thinlits I haven't used in a while, I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to create a Peekaboo Peach frame for the Orange Sherbet cone.  Its really Peekaboo Peach, but it reminds me so much of the Orange Sherbet cones I used to eat while growing up.





I also had been working with the Star Blast Edgelit Dies, and I found this super cute label boarder included in that die set.  After using the die to cut the boarder, I traced around the label die on Whisper White to create a white background behind the open frame. It fit well with this card. Because my mom always kept Orange Sherbet Ice Creme in our freezer when I was a teenager, the cone on this card felt like "love", and I chose the sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases.  








I love how this card turned out.  I set it next to some of the other cards I've completed recently.  It highlights the way Stampin' Up dies, stamp sets, Designer Series Papers, cardstock, embellishments and colors all compliment each others.  


Recipe:

Stamp: Cool Treats, Flourishing Phrases (sentiment)
Ink:  Basic Black, Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral
Paper: Whisper White, Peekaboo Peach, Basic Black, In Color Designer Series Paper Stacks
Accessories:  Frozen Treats Framelit Dies, Lots of Labels Framelits, Star Blast Edgelit Dies, Big Shot, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Cutting Pads,  Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals



Price: $110.00

      Stampin' Up! That's the Tag Set

      • That's the Tag
      • Paper Pumpkin triple win
      • March 26 - Decorated Card Tin Class

      Stampin' Up! That's the Tag set

      Today I'm using the That's the Tag stamp set.  I've used it with the matching dies  (Timeless Tag Thinlit Dies) previously, but today, I just used the stamp set.      


           






      This set has a number of wonderful sentiments.  I used two different sentiments from the set.  This stamp set would make a wonderful Mother's Day card with the sentiment I used above "to my amazing mother.". The "Thank you" sentiment on the version below is another sentiment from the set. 







      I used one of the papers from the Falling In Love Designer Series Paper Packs along with Dragonfly dies cut from Blushing Bride Glimmer paper. 



      This card sparkled and twinkled from the sunlight coming in my window, and I must have shot 30 photos of this card trying to capture the sparkle from the sunlight.  Unfortunately, the best way to enjoy our glimmer paper is in real life!  





      This is the second version of the card with the "thank you" sentiment stamped in Old Olive.  The flower image is also from the That's the Tag stamp set.  It it stamped in Basic Gray and is water colored in Old Olive ink and Blushing Bride ink with an Aqua Painter.


      Recipe:

      Stamp: That's the Tag
      Ink:  Basic Gray, Old Olive, Blushing Bride
      Paper: Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, Falling In Love Designer Series Paper
      Accessories:  Stitched Shape Framelit Dies, Layering Oval Framelits, Aqua Painter, Detailed Dragonfly Thinlit Dies, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Cutting Pads, Die Brush, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals




      Price: $110.00
