Stampin' Up! created a sweet little stamp set called Sweet Scoops for the Summer mini catalog. When I first say this set it brought back so many memories. Years and years ago, (yes, I am getting old, I had proof this week when I went to the eye doctor and he informed me that I could not see as well as I thought I could, I had to get bi-focals on my first trip to the eye doctor, I told him I was not old enough for bi-focals, I was just trying to get my head wrapped around the fact that I might need glasses.) Anyway back to this stamp set, years and years ago Stampin' Up! had a ice cream cone bold stamp set that they asked me to use in a demo I did on stage at convention. I felt like I needed to do something creative with it and i turned it upside down and created a bear clown. It was a hit and this sweet little set is even better to design with that the old stamp set was.
Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Scoops stamp set has two different cones, and two different ice cream toppers, it has sprinkles and a cheery and then a small square stamp that looks like a Zebra print. It could be used for Zebras but it is designed to to two step stamp you ice cream so it looks like it was hand scooped.
The card to the left is Melon Mambo & close to cocoa cardstocks and inks. I used Stampin' Up!'s Square Lattice Impressions Embossing Folder for the texture on the card. I love this folder because you have use it right side up or upside down and you get two different looks depending on which way you use it. I used it upside down on this card because the design is less busy that way.
The card of the right is So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Mellon Mambo Cardstocks and inks. I cut out the So Saffron ice cream scoop and used dimensionals to attach it to the card. I also used Ittly Bitty Backgrounds for the accents.
You can order anytime or if you want to play with these stamps in person join me for one of my upcoming classes. I have a hands on class this Friday night at 7:30pm we will be making 4 projects and the cost is $15.00. I hope to see or hear from you soon.
