Hi there creative and crafty friends! It's June and it's Summer! In fact, TODAY is the first official day of Summer! It's my turn today on The Greetery Blog too! What is the best thing about Summer? It might be ice cream! For today I made a fun and sweet ice cream cone card in pink and white, with some cute little strawberries too! This card might inspire me to go sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, and a cone! Strawberry of course!
My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with stripes, vellum and a pretty scallop. My card features the What's the Scoop Stamp Set and the Honeycomb Ice Cream dies. They work perfectly together. I started by die cutting out all my pieces to make the cone and the strawberries. I used a color palette of brown and pink, which I have always liked!! Seems kind of vintage too... I put the strawberries together and also the ice cream cone. I used Distress Inks to gently shade each of the pieces.
I stamped the sentiment in brown and pink to match my cone. I used the Curio Confections Dies to make the circles for the sentiment. I added little heart embellishments and some chunky glitter. You could make this card in any color combination and I think it's perfect for a birthday card!
That's it for my project for today. Wishing you good times and lots of ice cream too. I hope you have a wonderful and creative day. It's my pleasure to share with you, and I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! Happy Summer!
