Summer Sweets Ice Cream Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ice cream-themed cards for Summer using our Summer Sweet Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Summer Sweet Stamps, I created a 6-window grid using our Window Trio Square Dies, which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice. I then backed the openings with a pale pink polka-dot print I stamped using our Background Basics 2 Stamps. For my greeting, I stamped a punny birthday sentiment from the Summer Sweet Stamps onto a Brilliant Banner 3 Die cut from pale blue cardstock to compliment the blue in the glass dishes. I then filled all the openings with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-flavored ice cream treats, with a touch of red accents for the cherries and cola labels.

My second card pairs the swirl soft-serve ice cream cone and the phrase "Did you hear the scoop?" from the Summer Sweets Stamps with the ice cream truck and the hard-serve ice cream cone from our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. I had fun coloring one cone to look like chocolate chip mint ice cream to match the retro aqua ice cream truck! I carried through the retro 1950s vibe with a bubblegum pink polka-pot print using the same Background Basics 2 Stamps. and framed the elements on two Rounded Rectangle Mats. Lastly, I die-cut a small pennant strip from aqua-striped patterned paper from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack using the die from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies and stamped it with my greeting.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

Summer Sweets Shaker Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, thank you so much for stopping by. As I promised last week, I'm back today with more 4th of July inspiration using a fun mix and match on shaker tags. I hope these will inspire you!

As very often, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers using the red, white and blue color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Summer Sweets - icecreams, popsicles, milkshakes • Big Panda - sunglasses • North Pole - stars • Balloon Rides - banners.

Next I created three shaker tags. They all may be different in colors, the three of them were made the same way, so here is how I did the blue one, for example:

1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of blue cardstock, and used a 2,5 inches circle die from my stash to cut an opening out of it, leaving with a blue circle frame

2. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of acetate, and attached my blue frame on top using liquid glue

3. Flipped my panel over, and added 2mm foam strips all along the edges of the scalloped edges, following the rounded shape

4. Poured some Americana confetti on the acetate

5. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of a Surprise Party starry blue paper

6. Peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached the starry blue panel to the strips to close the shaker tag

7. Cut one last Scalloped Tag Circle out of the same blue cardstock as 1. and stuck it at the back of the tag to make the back of my tag as nice as the front

I created the red shaker tag and the white shaker tag following the same steps, and the white starry paper in the white tag is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then attached them on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I created three identical greetings using stamps from Beach Bus. I white heat embossed "Happy" on aqua cardstock and trimmed it into slim banners, I white heat embossed "Summer" on black cardstock, cut them using the matching die, and then attached a "Happy Summer" sentiment on each tag using foam squares again.

Next I tied matching twine to each tag to make handles, created three double bows out of a pretty gingham red ribbon (I wish I had the same in blue and white to make a perfect match) and attached a bow at the top of each tag using liquid glue. Finally I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the icecreams, popsicles and milkshakes, and glossy accents to the stars to bring shine and sparkle to those tags.

And that's it! These shaker tags were extremely fun to make and I hope that you like them. See you next week with a rainbow themed slimline card!

Summer Sweets Card with Bobbi

Bobbi here with you today! Summertime is the season for sweet and cool treats like popsicles, ice cream cones and sandwiches, iced-tea, a favorite-flavored soda and a sundae. Sunny Studio Stamps has thought of all the favorite treats in this “cool” set called, “Summer Sweets.” I’m using the Summer Sweets stamp set and dies for this 5″ X 7″ card.

For this card, I created a “pattern” background by stamping all the cute treats and a few of the sentiments from the set in black on white cardstock. I splattered bright ink colors over the black and white using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints and a small fan brush. I also added some more bolder tiny squares of color using my Copic Markers. I used a very random pattern when adding the squares.

For the focal point, I stamped individual sweets (some of my favorites) and three tiny cherries and cut them using the coordinating dies. I colored them using Copic markers.  I attached them to a circle of watercolor paper that was also splattered and color washed with color.  I used foam tabs behind the three center treats – iced tea, soda and popsicle – to make them stand out. I stamped the sentiment, “You’re the Coolest” right under the treats using black ink. I added an aqua outline by attaching a larger circle of color around the watercolor circle (both using the Stitched Circle Large Dies and attached it to the middle of the card front panel. The entire panel was adhered to a white card base to complete the card.

Paris Afternoon Card with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another card! This one is inspired by the movie - Ratatouille. It’s set in Paris and the new Paris Afternoon stamp set is just perfect for recreating it! 

I first started off by ink blending an A2 sized cardstock using Dusty Concord and Speckled Egg distress oxide inks. For the land and grass, I used colored cardstock and Slimline Nature Border Dies. 

Then I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Paris Afternoon, Charming City, Summer Sweets (I converted the soda into a wine bottle!), Fast Food Fun, Bountiful Autumn, Blissful Baking and Harvest Mice (I know it’s not rats but still lol) stamp set. 

Arrange all the images on the card base, add a sentiment and you are done! 

I hope you like how this turned out as well. Happy Crafting!
