BSS IDEA - WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

You're going to love today's cards, yes, cards, I couldn't just make one with

this fun die!

Looks like Raspberry sherbet to me!!  YUM!

Neapolitan Triple Decker, strawberry swirl, chocolate swirl, and

vanilla swirl......triple YUM.

How did I make these wonderful ice cream cone cards?

With the Stephanie Barnard Die Set from Sizzix..  You get

everything you see on my cards in the set with the exception of

the Swirl Embossing Folder I used on the triple decker by Cuttlebug.

Right down to the Cherry and Sprinkles on top!

Here is what I used to create the card.

White card stock for the card base.

Papers used -Pink, Cream, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Glossy red, Green, Pink Glitter

Lime Glitter card stocks.

Just cute the dies out and put a sweet (pun intended) card together, that

both children and grownups alike will love!

To make the base card, just cut two pieces of card stock with the base die.

On one of them, score and crease a line across the top of the ice cream

 about 1/4-1/2 inches from the top.  adhere to the other piece that will be  the front of the card.

This will make a tent fold card that will open and close easily.

For the triple decker card, I just cut three of the ice cream die pieces in 

different "flavors" and attached them close together, leaving enough to

show the colors before adhering to the card front.

For the "chocolate topping, I cut from dark brown paper.  On the one scoop

cone, I inked it with a versafine ink pad and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I cut the Cherry out with red glossy paper and green paper.  I glued the red over

the green one and cut the red stem off.

What a fun die set!  Hope you liked the ice cream cones!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day. Until later......

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Hope someone is enjoying this scorching HOT weather, because

the water bill (watering garden and flowers and adding water to the pond

everyday due to evaporation) they will both be whoppers I'm sure.

Fun card this week, and these pups don't seem to mind being out

on the water in their tiny boat enjoying the summer weather!

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
