Sweet Ice Cream Birthday-You’re so cool!

Happy Birthday / January 19, 2021 / Bundle, Sale-A-Bration

Birthday can be so fun, even when you are getting older and especially if you are celebrating with ice cream! I don’t eat ice cream very often, but when I do it usually has come kind of chocolate in it.

Fun fact: When I was 16 years old I worked at Bresler’s Ice Cream shop. It was very similar to a Baskin Robins and was located inside the mall, which was perfect for any teenager. The best part about working there was always being busy, too busy to gain any weight from eating ice cream. That may not be the case these days! LOL

So today’s card was inspired by a Sketch Challenge from one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines Mary Fish. I used the New Sweet Ice Cream bundle in the JJ2021 Spring mini catalog.

It is part of the Ice Cream Corner Suite Collection. A suite collection is a variety of related items that Stampin’ Up! coordinates for you, making it even easier to create beautiful things! The Suite collection is only $56 and entitles you to a FREE Sale-A-Bration set, but hurry Sale-a-Bration ends at the end of February!

Begin with a Basic White card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Cut another layer of white that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and using the sketch challenge below ½” strips of cardstock to create the diagonal design. I used Rococo Rose, Highland Heather and Seaside Spray.
Using a few pieces of scrap basic white cardstock, I stamped and punched out the ice cream cone, adding the waffle texture with Early Espresso ink.
I stamped the Happy Birthday and You’re so Cool sentiment in Memento Black ink.
Finally I added some of those sweet Pastel Pearls from the Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection in the JJ2021 Spring catalog.

Here is Mary’s sketch challenge! Maybe it will inspire you to create a card and if you do of’ course I would love to see it. Feel free to email it to me or share it with me on my Facebook page, #SketchChallenge#12!
Thanks Mary!

I also decorated the inside of my card with a few sweet ice cream cones. The cones are stamped in Cinnamon Cider directly to the inside cards. The Rococo Rose ice cream is also stamped direct to paper, but the Gorgeous Grape is stamped and punched out with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch that is part of the bundle.

I stamped the sentiment in Memento black ink and the sprinkles in Cinnamon Cider.

I hope you will stop back tomorrow for some more sweet cards ideas and be sure to mark your calendars for this Wednesday January 20th, because it is time for the Inking Royal Blog Hop and we have some very fun project ideas for you!

Everything Essential for the Holidays!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / December 23, 2020 / Be Mine, Bundle, punch

Today’s card feature the Everything Essential Bundle. This cute little set will be retiring soon and include a tag punch that is great for Halloween, Christmas and even Valentine’s Day! Yes, that holiday will be coming up soon enough. You can find this set on page 61 of the Aug-Dec Holiday mini catalog.

Begin with a Melon Mambo card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Using the Essential Tag Punch included in this bundle, punch out 3 tags from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series paper pack and 4 Whisper White tags. On 3 of the Whisper White tags stamp the little hearts stamp in Melon Mambo and Seaside Spray ink.
On the 4^th Whisper White tag, stamp the Be Mine image in Melon Mambo Ink and punch it out with the Essential Tag punch.
Adhere the punched tags to the Melon Mambo card base with Stampin’ Seal and place the Be Mine image in the middle using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is another version of this same card using the Plaid Tidings DSP pack.

Here is another card version just in case you do not have any of the Plaid Tiding Designer Series paper.

Begin with a Melon Mambo card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Using the Essential Tag Punch included in this bundle, punch out 3 tags from Whisper White cardstock and stamp the little hearts stamp in Melon Mambo and Seaside Spray ink randomly on tag.
Stamp the Be Mine stamp in Melon Mambo ink onto some Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Essential Tag punch. TIP: Pay attention to how you stamp these out as two of them will need to have the fancy part of the tag at the bottom of the image and you want to be sure that your heart is not upside down.
With the same “Be Mine” stamp, ink only the wording in Memento Black ink and stamp on some Whisper White scraps.
Using your paper snips, fussy cut the black “Be Mine” out and adhere it to the original wording stamped in Melon Mambo.
Color in the flowers on the Be Mine tags using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends.

And if you like 3D projects, try out this cute little treat box is perfect for any occasion.

To create this little box begin with a 5 ½ x 6 ½” of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and along the 6 ½” side, score at 2”, 3”, 5”, 6”. Rotate the cardstock clockwise and score the 5 ½” side at 1, 4, and 4 ½”.
Remove the smaller rectangles sections from both side of the box. Cut vertically up to the first full score line on each side of the box and angle cut the small tabs. Two of the small tabs will be quite long, so you will need to remove approx. ½” from these tabs.
On the box front and back with the taller flaps, corner round both sides as this will be the top portion of your box.
Cut a 1 7/8 x 2 7/8” piece of Plaid Tiding Designer Series paper (or DSP of your choice) and adhere to the front and back of the box panels.
Stamp the “You & Me” Birdie stamp in Seaside Spray ink onto some Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Essentials Tab punch. Adhere to the front of the box.
Place the box face down (design will not be showing) and fold back the left side of the box. Apply liquid glue or tear and tape to the long skinny rectangular tab and bring the right side of the box over to meet this section and adhere along this rectangular tab.
Next, fold the bottom flaps in and adhere the base of the box using liquid glue or tear and tape.
Fill your box with treats or a small present and fold top flaps in and up to meet. Put a small piece of tear and tape inside this flap and wrap with Linen Thread and tie to close.

Seasons Greetings In the Pines

Christmas 2020 / November 20, 2020 / Bundle, In the Pines, Plaid Tidings, Rhinestones

I think the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper is one of our most versatile paper packs. I have posted several cards using it with a fall themed card, so today I used it to create a little Christmas plaid with a card base of Garden Green. This card features the In the Pines Bundle with the trees in Garden Green and Shaded Spruce.

I added some of our Red Gems to bling it up a bit. The plaid piece measures 2 1/2 x 4 1/4″ with a 3/8″ by 4 1/4″ strip of Cherry Cobbler across the top. I added some linen thread for a woodsy look and the greeting is in Cherry Cobbler cut from the Snow Wonder Bundle die.

For the inside I stamped the greeting from For Unto Us in Cherry Cobbler and added a strip of Cherry Cobbler and the matching Christmas Plaid from the Plaid Tidings paper pack. This is a great card for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. What do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Until next time, be Blessed!
Stamping Hugs and Blessings,
Renae
