Life Is Sweeter With The Share A Milkshake Bundle
It has been a really sweet week, one full of stamping and ice cream, using the Share A Milkshake Bundle! What could be better?
For this third card in my weekly Card Class From ME, I chose some blue tones to work with. My Pool Party cardbase and Balmy Blue designer series paper (from the very fabulous Dandy Designs Sale-A-Bration freebie!) create a cool scene. And of course, ice cream completes the look.

The Perfect (Die Cut) Dessert
There are so many fun elements that bring this fab card together. Just like a cool stack of tasty ice cream, you can stack paper ice cream the same way…maybe even a little easier.
To get my Neopolitan Ice Cream look, I stamped off Petal Pink for the vanilla flavor. I also stamped fully inked Blushing Bride for strawberry and Early Espresso for chocolate. The cloud looking die from the Share A Milkshake Dies not only cuts out the image, but leaves a small slot for the die cut spoon (or straw!).
TIP: Use the flat spatula end of the Take Your Pick Tool to open the slot more fully before adding in the spoon or straw die cut pieces. Trust me, you will avoid a bent spoon! See my assembly video for even more tips!
Life Is Sweeter With Even More Color Choices
I just love to play with color. And a great pack of designer series paper, like the Dandy Designs, makes it so easy to have great colors to play with. Get your ginormous pack of this paper FREE during Sale-A-Bration, check out all the freebies here.
For this color swap card, I went from blue to green. I think you will agree that this pattern lends itself to a bright and fun card. I even changed my Neopolitan Ice Cream colors to more pastel Sherbet colors: stamped off Polished Pink, Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron!
Life Is Sweeter With You!
Try this interesting technique on your next card: Stamp your chosen sentiment twice, using different contrasting colors of ink. This sentiment, so perfect on this card, is from the Share A Milkshake Stamp Set.
Next, cut the words apart using your Paper Snips on each stamped sentiment. Plan to mix and match them for 2 different card designs, just like I did in my color swap card!
