Ice Cream Birthday

Ice Cream in winter may seem a bit odd. Although I believe Ice Cream at anytime is a great idea!! The Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper looks a bit like swirly ice cream and is a great way to do an (almost) tone on tone card.

Sweet Ice Cream

There is never a bad time for ice cream in my mind. When I was a child there was an ice cream shop near us and my favorite, actually my only, flavor was Grape. When I first saw this piece of DSP, I immediately thought of that ice cream. So out came the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Builder Punch.

Everything is stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink except the cone. Because of the DSP placement, I actually adhered the DSP prior to stamping. I wanted to make sure I had room for everything. Plus it gave me a straight line for the “with sprinkles” part of the sentiment. This is a quick and easy card. As a test run, I made one using the pink piece of the DSP, and it is just as pretty!

Paper

The Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. It is FREE to you with a $50.00 product order. And SAB ends on the 28th! All of these pieces are gorgeous. But the Gorgeous Grape piece is the brightest of all. The ice cream scoops are each a different side of the DSP. I love the two slightly different looks you see.

To make this card I cut the base of Gorgeous Grape to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4. Then a layer of Basic White that is cut to 4 X 5 1/4. And a piece of the DSP that is cut to 4 X 5 1/4. Except I then cut the DSP piece from portrait position at the upper left corner to the bottom right corner. Since the paper is not directional, you now have two identical pieces and can make two cards from this one DSP. I adhered the half piece of DSP edge to edge on the White layer.

Sale-A-Bration is the Best Time of Year!!
