Creation Station: Simple & Sweet

 

 

Happy February! It's the first Sunday of the month, and time to hop along with the Creation Station Design Team. This month, our theme is Simple and Sweet. The "sweet" part led me straight to the Share a Milkshake Bundle, one of my favorites!

 

The starting point for this card was the classic neapolitan ice cream combination: vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. I used Soft Suede for the chocolate ice cream and Blushing Bride for the strawberry. Then I added in a little Coastal Cabana for some contrast. The patterned paper in the background is the Sale-a-bration paper, Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. 

Do you like the little sprinkles on top?! Those are the For Everything Fancy Sequins. 

 

After I created this card, I decided to make a coordinating small square card to go with it. I used the same color combination and design elements as the first card.

 

Here is a full list of products I used on my cards:

Stamps: Share a Milkshake

Ink: Blushing Bride, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Blushing Bride, Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack

Embellishments: For Everything Fancy Sequins

Tools: Share a Milkshake Dies, Seasonal Labels Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll check out the projects that the rest of the team has to share. Up next is the wonderful Sara Nell Langland.

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC402: Be My Valentine

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a color challenge. I'm not sure which I enjoy more - a color challenge or a sketch challenge - but this color challenge definitely includes colors that are right up my alley!

 

I decided to use the products that were already out in my crafting space: the Share a Milkshake Bundle, Country Gingham DSP, and the Fabulous Frames Dies. Here's what I came up with:

 

Now before you go thinking that's a burnt ice cream cone, have you ever tried the Oreo sugar cones? So yummy! That's what I was going for here. 

 

I stamped off on the scoops of ice cream and the little background hearts to create the lighter shades of Polished Pink. And isn't that heart tucked into the top scoop adorable?! I think that little spot to tuck things in is my favorite feature of this die set!

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Share a Milkshake

Ink: Early Espresso, Polished Pink

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Early Espresso, Polished Pink, Country Gingham DSP

Embellishments: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds
