Two Scoops Ice Cream Parlor Inspired Card with Amy

Hello everybody! Amy here, and today I have a card that features Two Scoops, a fun layering stamp set. This set is perfect for making summer cards and/or for someone that loves ice cream (and who doesn't love ice cream). The results of the stamp layering will definitely "WOW" the recipient. I know I was taken back by how awesome they looked once I found the right color combinations.

To begin, I stamped the ice creams with various dye inks and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue in Icicle to add shine to the ice creams. After, I put them aside to dry.

To add more interest to the card front (a play on the awning of ice cream parlors), I added a border that I die-cut with one of the dies from Stitched Scallop Dies. I used masking tape to help me color in the sections with alternating dye inks. I adhered the scallop border with two layers of foam adhesive. I just love adding lots of dimension to my cards.

Before adhering the ice creams with a single layer of foam tapes to the card front, I stamped the sentiment "Have A Sweet Day" from Perfect Popsicles set.

For that extra sweetness, I tied a hemp cord around the card front and adhered some pretty sequins for more sparkle. I added fun foam behind it, except in the areas with the cord. To finish, I adhered it to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by the blog, and have a great day!

Pirate Pals Boy Themed Birthday Card with Nancy

We are so very excited to welcome Nancy Damiano to our Sunny Studio Stamps design team! Let's get to know Nancy a little better, and check out her first card share she's created for us. 

Hey there Sunny Studio fans, I'm Nancy Damiano and I live in central NJ with my husband and sun. I've been lucky enough to work in the scrapbook industry for 10+ years for many different manufacturers. Recently I took the leap into cardmaking and I'm in love! Coloring my heart out to create a small token of appreciation for family and friends - that's definitely for me. I'm enjoying learning all the crafty techniques that go into these small works of art. When I'm not crafting, I'm traveling, reading and binging on Netflix. I have a passion for the color aqua, Disney World, and paper goods. I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. I learned long ago that the best things are handmade.

For my first card, I'm sharing a birthday card using the fun Pirate Pals stamp set and coordinating dies. I love these little characters and they were so much fun to color with Copics!

I started the card by using Distress Ink in Broken China on watercolor paper to create the drippy goodness on the front of the card. Next, I used the Stitched Scallops dies to cut a fun wave border. This was the perfect spot for those pirates to peek out of.

Here’s a close up view of the watercolor and background. I added two sentiments to the lower right hand corner of the card with black ink. It’s the perfect design shelf for that little pirate ship! Two dew drop gems connect the two halves of the card.

Two dew drop gems connect the two halves of the design. This completes the card! I hope this has given you some ideas when creating some Pirate Pal cards of your own.
