Stampin' With Scraps: Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper

 

This card is a great example of how paper scraps can turn into a perfect card.  I used Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper scraps to create this adorable birthday card.  The "Happy Birthday You Sweet Thing" sentiment is from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set.  If you like the Ice Cream Corner DSP, order it now.  This DSP is part of the Spring Mini Catalog and will only be available until the end of June or while supplies last.

Details:

• Purple Posy Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
• White Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4"
• Two pieces of Ice Cream Corner DSP:  2" x 4" and 3 1/8" x 2" - adhere your DSP pieces to the White Cardstock layer

Feel Better Friend Card with Fresh Freesia

A little "pretty in pink" or should I say pretty in Fresh Freesia.  This card should make anyone feel better.  This beautiful flower is from the new Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set. I stamped the flower in Black Memento Ink and used the Light Smoky Slate Blend to outline the flower.  I then used Light Daffodil Delight in the center and Dark Soft Sea Foam on the leaves.  Cut out the flower using Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Details:

• Fresh Freesia Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4
• True Love DSP strip:  1 1/4" x 5"
• The "feel better friend" greeting is from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set - which I cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies

 

Happy Birthday - Treat Yourself

Today's birthday card is a fun Happy Birthday card using the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set and the coordinating Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to add a little color in the background so I used Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes with Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party and Calypso Coral Ink.

Details:

• White Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4"
• Ice Cream Corner DSP:  2" x 3 1/2" and punched on one end with the Banner Triple Punch

Artistically Inked Deepest Sympathy Card

I know sympathy cards are sad, but I am so pleased with how this card turned out.  I stamped the roses from the new Artistically Inked Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink and then separately I stamped one rose in Fresh Freesia and Pear Pizzazz Ink and then popping it up on the card.  The "With Deepest Sympathy" sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  The strip of black striped DSP is from True Love Designer Series Paper.

Today's card is Black & White With a Little Color..  I cut a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper in a circle pattern and then stamped the "HAPPY birthday" sentiment from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set in Polished Pink Ink and Black Memento Ink.
