Scraps and More Scraps

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are enjoying the summer weather and getting outside as much as possible. This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing with you projects made with scraps. I think it's safe to save we all have a lot of little pieces of cardstock and designer series paper around.

Well, now you will have some ideas to create using those scraps up. I know I have a ton of small pieces for the ice cream designer paper. I hope you aren't sick of seeing cards with it. It is my absolute favorite paper in the January - June Mini Catalog. It will be gone soon, so hurry and get it before it's gone.

This is a little different than past cards I've made because it has a softer look than the bold colors I have been using to make cards. The Biggest Wish set is so awesome for the front of cards. Nice, big greetings that you can mix and match the fonts to give it different looks.

Don't forget to use those scraps up. Don't throw them away. They can be used to make beautiful cards.  Remember to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog for more ideas to use those scraps.

Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are having a fantastic Memorial Day weekend so far. Don't forget to take a few moments to reflect on the true meaning of this holiday: the men and women who died fighting for our freedom. They sacrificed it all for us to be free.

It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog hop. You won't want to miss out on any of the inspiration, so be sure to keep scrolling and click the links below to see all the great projects that are waiting for you.

I simply can't help myself. I love ice cream and the ice cream sets just call my name so I can create with them often.  This card is just so fun. I love the multi-colored sprinkles (or do  you call them "jimmies"). 

I know the card looks like there's a lot going on, but honestly there is very little stamping so it goes quickly. It's all about the layers. I think I like layers as much as ice cream. (LOL)  

The cone is actually cut from the designer series paper. Hurry to get that, it will be gone soon; not the ice cream set though.

Sunday Fun Day with Designer Series Paper

Hello Stamping Friends,

Here today with a fun post for Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping. Any day there are ice pops or ice cream involved is a fun day in my not so humble opinion. One can never be too old to enjoy a cool, refreshing ice pop especially on a hot summer day. So as we are buried in snow and ice here in NEPA, I'm choosing to think warm thoughts with cool ice pops instead.

I always get every new ice cream related stamp set. I'm a junkie for ice cream, ice pops, or anything of that nature. And this set, Sweet Ice cream is no different. I mean, really, look at those fun, colored ice pops. Don't you need to have it too?

I also used the designer paper that coordinates with the set (especially since I  needed to use designer paper on my project today for this week's theme). Besides, the paper is polka dots and if you have been with me for any length of time you know I love my polka dots. Make them on green paper that matches my car, well, that's even better.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see the other projects using designer paper.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Don't forget I am currently offering 20% off all orders (this week only) in celebration of my 20th anniversary with Stampin' Up! (which was yesterday).
