Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Love is.....


Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for January and for this month the design team will be showcasing the theme 'Love is...' in our projects. Make sure you click on the list of participants which will be at the end of this blog. 

Well, can I just say how much I love the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue for 2023! I've used just one of my favourite bundles in the catalogue. I just love ice creams, milkshakes or a sundae! Especially in summertime. How many scoops do you love to have? 


Share a Milkshake Bundle (160396)


Today, I'll be sharing with you two projects and turning them into two fun cards using the Share a Milkshake bundle which is located on page 12 in the latest Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue. When I saw this bundle, it was on the top of my wish list.




Milkshake Card

To create this card, I wanted to use the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and those stripes reminded me of those cute straws from the Share a Milkshake stamp set. I do love stripe paper. I layered over the DSP using Shimmery White Cardstock panel, I then added a Sweet Sorbet watercolor wash, stamped the cherries and sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink.




I used Tahitian Tide Glimmer Paper and die-cut out using the circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The stamp image of the milkshake is in Tahitian Tide which I love with Sweet Sorbet they go so well together. 




A great tip is I love to create lots of watercolor washes onto Shimmery White Cardstock and then die-cut out lots of images such as the scoops of ice cream and hearts. Then I like to play with them on my card and see how I want to layer them up.





Ice Cream Heart Card

To create my second card, I used Balmy Blue Cardstock with Tahitian Tide hearts stamped onto the panel and adding more Tahitian Tide ink to the background with the Blending Brush. Next, I added two detailed waffles to the background, one in Kraft paper and the other in Tahitian Tide watercolor wash onto Shimmery White Cardstock.




When I was creating this ice cream card, I was only going to do one ice cream, but then I thought two are always better than one! As I placed them onto the card, they formed a cute heart made out of waffles. I used the Kraft paper for one of the cones and a Sweet Sorbet watercolor wash for the pink cone. Then I added lots of ice creams scoops in Sweet Sorbet, Balmy Blue, Tahitian Tide and Kraft paper. 




I added a silver spoon made out of Silver Foil, Tahitian Tide Cherry, Sweet Sorbet heart, Tahitian Tide Baker's Twine and the sentiment stamped in Tahitian Tide ink.
