Share a Milkshake

Yum! Ice cream! Sundaes! Shakes! This is right up my alley. This stamp set and coordinating dies allows you to create all of these goodies and then some. I have made a sundae with blue moon and pistachio ice cream. Hmmm...I'm not sure I really want to eat that but it sure is cute on a card! Did you notice that the cherry fits into a small cut on the ice cream? That cut is part of the die. You don't have to make that yourself and you don't really see it if you don't use it.

Sending Smiles

Sending Smiles was introduced to the Stampin' Up! lineup about two years ago. I know I purchased it and even used it but I'm not sure I have used it enough. Sigh. How do you create more time and energy to do the things that you love and the things that have to be done? I guess we keep moving forward and work on what we can, when we can.

The Garden Green background was embossed with the hobnail-glass dots embossing folder. This folder is part of the Basics Embossing Folders that are available online only. I love these folders and highly recommend adding them to your arsenal.

Sparkling Snowflakes Scrapbook Pages

Seems a bit odd to be sharing snowflake scrapbook pages with you but here we are. I did create these over my Christmas break but we had 74 degrees on Tuesday and a very mild winter in general. We haven't had much snow which is unusual. I'm sure we may have some drought issues this spring because of the lack of snow. Guess time will tell. I'm sure I still have snowy pictures from years past that I can use to fill these pages.

Pick of th Patch

I have more to share from the fall mini catalog. I love these pumpkins. They are so easy to work with to create some playful cards and scrapbook pages. I stacked them on this card after I had used the coordinating punch. The punch has two pumpkins, the stem and the leaf on it. This helps to make all the parts of the pumpkins fast.

Inked & Tiled

 Inked & Tiled an awesome stamp set and easy to use not matter what color combination you decide to use. I have used Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, and Pebbled Path for these three cards and I'm not sure which one is my favorite. 

I started with Calypso Coral card base and added a layer of Pebbled Path. The top layer is Petal Pink. I stamped the leaf with Calypso Coral and Petal Pink before I ran it through the Exposed Brick embossing folder. The thin strip under the greeting is a 1/4" strip of Pebbled Path.
