Neapolitan Ice Cream Cone

I've never been a fan of Neapolitan ice cream (don't like strawberry ice cream), but
I do like the color combination.
Neopolitan Ice Cream ConeThe base of this card is the new Tip Top Taupe.
I used Mint Macaron and embossed using the Polka Dot embossing folder — it makes me think of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream — that's my favorite.
I added a doily and a piece of the Neutrals DSP that I cut out using the Oval Collections Framelits.  The cone is stamped with Soft Suede ink on Tip Top Taupe cardstock.  I stamped the ice cream layers — Soft Suede on Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette on Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake on Whisper White.  Don't forget to punch out a "cherry" using the apple from the Tree Builder Punch.
I added some Dazzling Diamonds using the 2-way glue pen.
The Happiness Always banner is from the And Many More stamp set.

Cupcake for Brian

Today is my nephew's birthday — Happy Birthday Brian.
Here's a card just for him (don't think he checks my blog).
CupcakeThe card base is Cucumber Crush — I'm starting to like this new In Color a little more.  It's a bit brighter than what I normally use but it pairs together very well with the
Watermelon Wonder and the Cherry on Top DSP.
I used Deco Labels to cut out the Bermuda Bay and Whisper White labels.
I was already using the Cucumber Crush ink on another card so we used
Versa Mark — when was the last time you used your Versa Mark stamp pad
(I mean when you aren't using embossing powder)
Remember Versa Mark gives you that tone on tone color when you don't have the color you wanted to use.  Stamp the cupcake base on Cucumber Crush cardstock with the VersaMark pad — cut out.  Stamp the "frosting" with Chocolate Chip ink on Chocolate Chip cardstock and punch out with the coordinating Tree Builder Punch.
I added one of the In Color Blossom Accents to the top of the cupcake and I added
a Rhinestone in the center of the blossom for a little more "zing".

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Some days things just don't go right.
Here's a card to have on hand for just that occasion.
Keep a supply of cards in your desk at work or handy at home.
When you see someone having a tough time, write a quick little
I'm thinking of you inside this card and cheer up their day.
Cloud Silver LiningThe card base is our new Thick White cardstock.
No more wimpy cards that won't stand up when you have lots of layers.
This stuff is awesome.
I added layers of Watermelon Wonder and Smoky Slate.
The images are stamped on our regular silky, smooth Whisper White cardstock.
I added a Silver Glimmer Paper cloud under the stamped Smoky Slate cloud for some added dimension — it almost looks like it is really raining.
Go make this card quick and cheer someone up today.
