Hi Stampers. Happy March! Can you believe it?!? The year is flying buy and it’s soon going to be Sweet Ice Cream weather! I’m combined my impatience for the cold weather to go away and my love of this new fold I recently discovered to make this awesome card! You can see my Forever & Always version of this fold HERE and my other Ice Cream Corner version HERE.
To create the corner fold, I created a template by using a 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of CS and cutting diagonally and gluing the two together, so it was thicker and sturdier so I can use it over and over again. Using this template, I was able to mark where I wanted to make the score on the cardbase with a pencil and then scored it using my trimmer. For the outside, I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White CS and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of the Ice Cream Corner DSP. I used the same template to cut off the same corner of the layers that I scored in on the cardbase and adhered them to the card front.
I almost used the Ice Cream Builder Punch to make ice cream cones for the corner, but they didn’t look right. The paper is ice cream “bars” not “cones”. It was pointed out to me by a friend during our Coffee & Cards Zoom meeting (held each Thrusday at 11am MT – and YOU ARE INVITED to join us!), that the Jar Punch is almost the right shape. Using paper snips, I rounded off the top of the jar (or you can use a circle punch) and then made popsicle sticks for the bottom (using the stamp and Crumb Cake CS/ink) and BOOM – Ice Cream bar!
Inside the card is decorated in much the same way, by using a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of DSP (on the top) and Basic White (on the bottom). I used the template from above to cut off the corner to get the larger piece. Next, cut 1/4″ off the long side of the triangle for the piece that will fit onto the top up. Using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set, I stamped the confetti in Granny Apple Green ink and the sentiments in Pool Party ink. The final touch was adding the ice cream cone to the pop up corner. This was made using the Ice Cream Corner DSP and the Ice Cream Builder Punch.

Hi Stampers, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I did a Facebook Live video Monday, making a Valentine’s Day card using this fold and people loved it! So I decided to use the same fold for today’s blog hop card.
Last Saturday was my birthday, so this Saturday I’m doing a sort of reverse birthday party over on my Business Facebook Page and the theme is an Ice Cream Social. So, the Ice Cream Corner Suite was the perfect fit!
I’m in love with this confetti pattern in the Ice Cream Corner DSP – it’s so fun! The ice cream and cones are cut out of other patterns in the Ice Cream Corner DSP. For the ice cream and the cone, I punched out an additional set out of CS and glued the CS to the back of the DSP, just making it more firm so it won’t bend as the card is handled.
The Happy Birthday sentiment, from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set, was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a 1-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip of Whisper White and mounted onto a layer of Blackberry Bliss CS. This sentiment is attached to the card front using stampin’ dimensionals and the ice cream cones were adhered with liquid glue.
Inside the card, the fun continues! You can view my instructional video by viewing my Facebook Live Video or you can go subscribe to my YouTube channel. An edited version will be loaded up there soon.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

Hi Stampers, someone emailed me the other day and said I didn’t do any “simple” cards. I guess I’ve just been card making for so long, all the cards feel easy. I’d like to make card making easy for you, too. Today’s card uses the Happy Dies & Well Written Dies to make a birthday card.
My team and I made this card at a team meeting a few months ago. I knew I wanted to use the Happy Dies, for the colors I actually started with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. I knew I wanted to use that DSP for this card. Using the colors listed on the DSP label, I determined my color palette. (Oh, how I love the Stampin’ Up! color coordination!!)
I chose a Blackberry Bliss card stock, a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Artistry Blooms DSP and then another 3-3/4″ x 5″ layer of Blackberry Bliss. Using the Happy Dies, I cut the word happy out of the center of the top layer and the banner out of Melon Mambo CS. The word birthday is die cut out of a scrap of the same Artistry Blooms DSP (with Adhesive Sheet on it).
Inside the card, I stamped the sentiment, from the So Much Happy stamp set, in the center in Blackberry Bliss ink. (The So Much Happy stamp set and the Happy Dies can be purchased as a bundle and save you 10%.) The balloon is stamped in Seaside Spray ink with a Blackberry Bliss string. I think this is super simple. What do you think?

Hi Stampers. Are you just loving the new 2021 January to June Mini catalog?!?! I am and the Ice Cream Corner Suite is one of my favorites! I chose to use that for my blog hop today.
This suite comes with so many fun products and they all coordinate beautifully! The Ice Cream Corner Suite can be used for any kind of celebration or even just a summer ice cream social!
While the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch is intended to be an ice cream cone, flipped upside down it makes the cutest teddy bear in a party hat! The Shark Dies make many different size circles (smaller than the layering circle dies) and the 1/2″ size was perfect for the ball on the top of my party hat!
I chose to make this a teddy bear party in a box with the card-in-a-box fancy fold and used some ribbon to make the back panel look like a wrapped package.
The faces are hand drawn and the tie is die cut using the Suit & Tie Dies, while the balloons are punched out using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. A touch of White Stampin’ Chalk Marker gives the balloons a bit of reflection.
On the back of the card is a simple Basic White panel over DSP with ice cream cones stamped top and bottom.
This is a second card I created. For the face, I chose to make it a little simpler to draw. I also added two more sentiments for the side panels.
All supplies used in the making of this card are available in my online store 24/7 and I have provided links to them below. For further instruction, I encourage you to watch this YouTube video below. Then be sure to follow along on the hop to see more fun projects.

Hi Stampers. I just love a man who is Handsomely Suited. When the Stampin’ Up! Jan-Jun Mini Catalog was released, the Well Suited Suite was one of the first things on my list. Back in the day, we used to cut the suit pieces ourselves – see one of my really old card creation on Pinterest HERE.
I am so impressed by the Well Suited Designer Series Paper, it looks so much like an actual suit and tie. (The suit and tie on this card are the same piece of DSP, just showing the two sides). My card base is done in Thick Basic White CS and then the DSP is layered over that. It was easiest to start with the tie and shirt collar first and add the jacket over it, so the tie is BEHIND the suit. The collar is glued flat on the top of collar, but not at adhered at all at the bottom of the collar.
Likewise, the pocket square was adhered to the pocket, and that to the jacket front, before the lapel was adhered. There is a mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the tie and the tie knot and under the top of either side of the lapel. Having these pop up a little made them look much more realistic and defines the two pieces.
Inside the card, I simply stamped the “happy birthday” sentiment (from the Handsomely Suited stamp set) in Pacific Point ink.
The Well Suited Suite has everything you need to make a whole bunch of great masculine cards. You get the Handsomely Suited Bundle (Handsomely Suited stamp set and Suit & Tie Dies), the Well Suited DSP and the Well Suited Twine Combo.

Hi Stampers, I’m so excited that the So Many Snowflakes Dies will be carrying over! For this Happy Birthday card I paired them with the Well Written dies. Isn’t it pretty?
I started with a Pool Party card base and then added a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of DSP. While this particular DSP has retired, other DSPs would work or you could use our fabulous new Blender Brushes to make your own background similar to this one.
The So Many Snowflakes Dies were used to die cut snowflakes out of Highland Heather, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy CS. They were stacked together and attached to each other using glue dots. A single rhinestone in the center of the top snowflake finishes it off. Using the Well Written dies, I die cut happy out of Gorgeous Grape CS and “birthday” out of Misty Moonlight CS. Before die cutting the words, I put adhesive sheet on the back, so the words would be stickers and easy to apply.
Inside, the card is a single layer of Whisper White CS with a 1″ strip of the same DSP as the cover. Even though there is no inside sentiment, that single strip of DSP makes the inside coordinate with the outside. Nice and simple!
