Happy Sunday!
This week, the always fabulous Ann is hosting our monthly Sketch Challenge.
I’ve mentioned before that Sketch Challenges are my FAVORITE! To get started, I look at the layout then I look through my stamp sets and one or two usually jump out at me. I needed a birthday card and the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and coordinating Ice Cream Builder Punch were perfect for this sketch! Why not "Treat Yourself” to a triple scoop to celebrate your special day, right?
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
I really wanted to add some extra pattern to the card to play off the sprinkles on the ice cream. (Side Note: I REALLY wish we had a polka dot embossing folder.) Then I remembered the Pattern Party Decorative Masks! They are essentially stencils that add a fun pop of pattern using ink, embossing paste and even shimmer paint. I need to remember to use them more often! There are four different patterns in this set and my favorite has to be these playful polka dots. I used one of the new Blending Brushes to add some ink and then embossed the cardstock for a little pop of texture.
- Pool Party Cardstock - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
- Blackberry Bliss Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4”
- Petal Pink Cardstock - 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”, add polka dots using Blending Brushes / Petal Pink ink and emboss using Subtle 3D Embossing Folder
- Ice Cream Shop Designer Series Paper - 3” x 4-1/4”
- Basic White Cardstock - scraps for stamping and punching ice cream cone and scoops
- Ice Cream Scoop Colors: Purple Posy scoop / Blackberry Bliss sprinkles, Pool Party scoop / Bermuda Bay sprinkles and Petal Pink scoop / Terracotta Tile sprinkles (Note: if you don’t have Purple Posy ink (as it is currently unavailable) - use either a Purple Posy Stampin’ Write Marker or Highland Heather ink stamped-off once as an alternative)
- Ice Cream Cones - stamp solid image in Cinnamon Cider Ink stamped-off once, then stamp the waffle cone detail in Cinnamon Cider Ink full-strength
- Basic White Cardstock - scrap to stamp sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink and die cut using frame from Hippo & Friends Dies
- Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and Champagne Rhinestones
- Basic White Cardstock (inside card) - 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiments in Blackberry Bliss ink
- Ice Cream Shop Designer Series Paper (inside card) - 4” x 1/2”
Finally a peek inside the card! I simply added another strip of DSP and stamped some fun polka dots and a coordinating sentiment. I love, love, LOVE the font in this stamp set. Such a fun and happy card to celebrate a birthday!
