I’m slowly starting to get into my stash of products from the upcoming new catalogues. And I’m really looking forward to some time off from my “9 to 5” so that I can really have some fun! This card uses some of the sweet treats from the new Ice Cream Corner suite of products. When I saw these being demo’d at OnStage@Home this November I was totally wow’d! So of course when I did my pre-order I had to get my hands on some.
For this card design I wanted to pair the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set with the Ombre 6×6 Designer Series Paper. This pack of paper is one of the great products you can get for FREE during Sale-a-bration which kicks off next month. So that’s where I got my colour combination from. I used some of the Blackberry Bliss and Granny Apple Green DSP and so the cardstock and inks followed suit.
When I was going through the paper designs I decided to pick two different ones and have them be off-centre. I also liked the idea of showing a couple of the different designs. So I picked the circles and the plain ombre designs.
I added some Crumb Cake for the popsicle stick and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. Then I popped it up and the phrase using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Initially I was thinking that I would add some ribbon to this card, but when it came time it just didn’t fit. So I went with one of my other go-tos… bling! I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish it off. I actually have a few more thank you cards to make so I may tweak this design a little bit. But overall I think it turned out nice!
