Hi Stampers! Welcome to my first post of the 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! (Hopefully, you have your new catalog already – if you don’t have one yet, please email me.) I have a new Stampin’ Up! stamp set and a Pals Paper Arts Challenge to share with you today.
This card starts out with a Soft Suede card base – 8.5″ x 5.5″, scored at 4.25″. Next is a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ layer of Strawberry Slush card stock. (Note: Strawberry Slush is now a retired Stampin’ Up! color, but there are many other Stampin’ Up! colors that would look great in it’s place: Melon Mambo & the new Waterme. lon Wonder, just to name a few). Next up is a 4″ x 5.25″ layer of Very Vanilla card stock. Adhered to that with Stampin’ Up! snail adhesive is a 5.25″ x 1.25″ of Strawberry Slush card stock and a 5.25″ x 1″ strip of So Saffron card stock adhered on top of that.
Most of the stamping was done using the new Stampin’ Up! Sprinkles of Life stamp set. This is a wonderful set, not just because it’s super cute but because for one of these stamp sets sold Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities helping families in need.

I stamped the cone in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and cut it out with the paper snips. I then stamped one “scoop of ice cream” in Strawberry Slush ink onto Strawberry Slush card stock and punched it out with the new Tree Builder punch. I stamped another “scoop of ice cream” in So Saffron ink onto So Saffron card stock and punched it out with the Tree Builder punch. I then adhered them onto the left side of the card front stacked like an ice cream cone. I stamped the wording in Strawberry Slush ink in the upper right corner of the card front.
The little splatter marks were an after thought. After putting the card together I was thinking it needed “a little something”. That’s when I got out the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and made the little splatter to make it look like melted ice cream. I hope you like it.
How adorable! I love the spats of ice cream. How clever!
Thanks, Michelle. Maybe it’s just me, but every time there is ice cream, there is a little splat. LOL
Oh, YUM…. looks like lemon and strawberry sherbet double dipped cone! And, yes, there is always a splat, lol… Well done, Pal.
