AESTAMPS A LATTE

 Hello, and happy Sunday.  I hope you are enjoying the Memorial weekend with family and friends and get a chance to relax and put your feet up. Today, I have a "cool" creation to share with you using the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle following the new sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps! For this creation,  I decided to focus on the fun popsicle image.  It is so fun to be able to create your own flavor, and in this case- flavors! lol  My popsicle flavors are: Blackberry Bliss and Highland Heather; and Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight.  I love how a third color is created with the overlapping of the stamped images.  You can see it more clearly on the Calypso Coral popsicle.  The middle area looks like Pumpkin Pie, doesn't it? Now that we are getting ready to say good bye to the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog, don't forget about the delicious Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. It works perfectly with the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle. Here's this weeks n...

 Hello, crafty friends. I hope you had a nice weekend.  We were lucky enough to enjoy a quick getaway to a friends lake home. Thank you to Teresa and Brian for the very relaxing weekend. :)   Today's creation features the Beauty of Friendship Bundle. Over the past several weeks all of the Cherry Blossom Trees were in their prime showing off their beautiful flowers and filling the air with their beautiful floral fragrance which inspired me to create today's project.  I chose to highlight two new In Colors for my card: Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent. The tree trunk was stamped using Soft Suede ink.  The leaves were stamped twice using the Two-Step leave images with Soft Succulent ink and then were die cut out. To create my grass below the tree, I just flipped the leaves image on its side and stamped along the bottom of my Basic White panel.  To create a little bit of interest to my white panel, I used the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue ink to create ...

 Hello, crafty friends. We finally received some very needed rain here in central Minnesota.  Everything is finally green and not brownish tan. lol  Its' already humid out and they are forecasting lower 80's for this weekend. Say what?  That's a tad bit too warm for a Minnesota May if you ask me.  Today, I have a fun card to share using the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle (#156244) .  I haven't had a chance to use it yet (was waiting for summer weather) and recently added the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles (#154568)   as an after thought which turned out to be a great thought! :) I made 3 different color versions of this card in a matter of minutes using the matching Ice Cream Corner DSP (#154567).   Although the stamp set and punch are carried over to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, the DSP and sprinkles are not.  Hint, hint. Check out my Sweet Ice Cream with Sprinkles video. The sprinkles are much easier to work with then I had originally thought and...
