All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop - Ice-Cream Corner Suite

Hello and welcome to our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop for May 2021. This month we are using the Ice-Cream Corner Suite. The projects featured in the bundle are exclusive and the tutorials come complete with photos, video directions and a supply list that includes both Metric and Imperial measurements.

Here is a sneak peek of the Ice-cream Corner Suite bundle of tutorials.

To enjoy the tutorials you have several options:

• shop with me -  if you order from my online store you will receive that month's bundle for free
• purchase - buy the bundle for £11.50 
• Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for free

To give you even more inspiration each of us has created another project using the Ice-Cream Corner Suite products. Here is my project for today.

It's a cute little shaker card with a side order of raspberry ripple!  The colours are quite eclectic, but overall I think that they work because of the variety of colours in the sprinkles! The card base is Basic White topped with Blackberry Bliss and the circle frame is from Cinnamon Cider to match the Designer Series Paper used for the ice-cream cone.

The raspberry ripple ice cream is created by adding colour to the watercolour paper directly from the embossing folder - I added Petal Pink ink all over the surface of the Painted Texture embossing folder and then added a touch of Merry Merlot ink to a few of the raised areas. Before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine I spritzed both the paper and the embossing folder with some water. As the sandwich is embossed, the ink spreads and is absorbed by the paper making a lovely ripple of colour. The scoops of ice cream can be punched out once the paper is thoroughly dry.

I cut an aperture in a layer of Blackberry Bliss card using the Layering Circles dies and then embossed the layer using the Tasteful Textile folder. This aperture is framed with a Cinnamon Cider Scalloped circle. To create the shaker element I placed a square of DSP inside a clear envelope, added a scoop of the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles and secured it behind the aperture. Obviously, the ice cream itself needed sprinkles too! To finish the card, the sentiment is white heat embossed. Go on, treat yourself - could you resist that invitation?

Daisies In Bloom - International Project Highlights for May 2021

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my card to entry to Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights for May 2021 - the theme is Thank you. This fresh looking card is so cheerful and really makes me think of the saying 'as fresh as a daisy'!

The Pierced Bloom dies are the star of this card - the stitched detail on them is so pretty. I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create the central frame and the Tasteful Textile and Ornate Floral embossing folders to add additional texture to this card. 

The Thank You sentiment is from the Hand-Drawn Blooms stamp set it's perfect to stamp repeatedly to create the background and then to frame to make the statement sentiment. I used Night of Navy ink for the stamping. The background panel has multiple tones of navy created by repeatedly stamping without reinking. Embossing the layer fades the stamping even further for a subtle, muted effect. To create the illusion of a frame this little panel is popped up on dimensionals.

As mentioned at the beginning I am entering Kylie's International Project Highlights and you can follow the link to the gallery where you will find heaps more inspiration AND you can vote for your favourite five projects. At the end of the voting the Top Ten winners will be invited to take part in a blog hop at the end of the month. 

 

I would love to take part in the hop, so I would really appreciate your help. Please would you visit the gallery and vote for my card? Click on the little heart on my card, which is number 23.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. If you want to purchase the items used for these cards, or any other supplies, please take a look in my online Stampin' Up! shop. You can follow the link or click on the pictures below of the products I have used today.
