Today is National Ice Cream Day so why not celebrate by making a card about ice cream! Last year’s Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set by Stampin’ Up! was carried over to the new catalog this year (which I think is a first, that I can remember) and is perfect to use to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! The Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, with which you can make ice cream cones, also comes with a coordinating punch, the Tree Builder Punch by Stampin’ Up!,
I made the card with a card base of Crumb Cake card stock and a layer of the new In Color Flirty Flamingo. The background layer of the card is Very Vanilla embossed with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder. The ice cream cone is stamped with Delightful Dijon Ink on Delightful Dijon Card Stock and just cut out with Paper Snips. The ice cream scoops are punched with the Tree Builder Punch. I made the flavors out of Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Suede. The punch even has a little cherry (or in some cases it could be an apple!) to put on top of the ice cream! I added a little glimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to the cherry. So fun to play with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush!
The greeting comes in the stamp set and I layered it on the new Layering Squares Framelits Dies. Since I had a little space at the top, I added a little knot tied with the Gold 1/8″ Ribbon. This ribbon has been around for awhile and it is so useful. It also comes in silver so be sure you have both!
What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Be sure to celebrate National Ice Cream Day by eating a big bowl of ice cream with all your favorite toppings! And if you must save calories, then make an ice cream card instead!
