Cherry On Top Card

Share A Milkshake Card Class, Card 1

If you joined me for my Share A Milkshake Card Class on January 9, you saw me make this Cherry On Top card first! This week, I am focusing on the Share a Milkshake Bundle, which is made up of the Share A Milkshake Stamp Set and the Share A Milkshake Dies.

Usually I save the best for last, or at least the most difficult card. But, for this class, I rolled out the most awesome card first, with the cherry on top! Check out the Stack Shuffle Repeat process…

Stack Shuffle Repeat Technique

Something else that was over the top…or maybe the cherry on top, for this card was the designer series paper technique that I showcased. It is called the Stack Shuffle Repeat Technique. Watch my video for all the details.

Normally, you might choose designer series paper from the same paper pack for this technique. However, I do like to mix things up a bit. Instead of one paper pack, I chose 3: Dandy Designs (FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 order), Delicate Desert and Enjoy The Journey. The color and patterns I chose worked really well together too.

Notice how the patterns rotate positions? This is part of the Stack Shuffle Repeat process.

Waffle Cones And Cherries

The sweetest thing about this card, next to the designer series paper arrangement, is the delicious looking and very realistic paper waffle cones. Did you notice they almost form a heart as they are grouped together? I used the Layering Circles Dies to create a Vellum scallop and Petal Pink layer as backdrop for my waffle treats.

You will be able to quickly and easily create waffle cones just like this with the Share A Milkshake Dies. There is very little stamping involved, since the dies really do all the hard work for you. You just need the right color cardstock (I used Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso). And to detail your waffle cones, add like-color ink with a sponge dauber.

I think the best color for the cherries is Cherry Cobbler, of course! I used a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock to stamp on before die cutting. And watch for the tip I shared in class on lining up the stamp from the Share A Milkshake Stamp Set with the coordinating die.

Country Bouquet Heart Flower

Hearts And Flowers, Oh My

My Country Bouquet Heart Flower card is the third and final card featuring the Country Bouquet Bundle from my Weekly Card Class From ME! To qualify to receive 6 card kits (2 each of the 3 designs I shared during my online class) for FREE from me featuring the Country Bouquet Bundle, just place an order of $35 (before shipping and tax) in my online stamping store using Host Code NAQEENPK. When you spend over $50, you get a Sale-A-Bration item and a FREE pack of embellishments from me too.

I saved this cheery Country Bouquet Heart Flower card in Sweet Sorbet for last because it is easy and fun to make. In fact, the red heart and green leaves you see in the image above are simply punched from paper.

You read that right, punched from the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper with the Country Bouquet Punch. I love when pretty paper lines up perfectly for dies and punches. But, when the paper runs out, you will still have the Country Bouquet Stamp Set to continue to create the same great imagery for future punching.

Gorgeous Hearts, Flowers and Paper

This fabulous Country Bouquet Heart Flower card features 3 packs of designer series paper…yes 3! The punched heart pieces come from the Country Floral Lane DSP pack. The adorable gingham paper is from the Country Gingham 6 x 6″ DSP pack. And lastly, the fun stripe paper is a freebie paper pack, Dandy Designs, yours with a $100 qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration.

The fun and whimsical paper designs also anchor all the cardstock colors in this great Country Bouquet card. The card base and Stitched Greenery Die embossed layer are Sweet Sorbet, an In Color that runs a shade red, past pink. Mint Macaron and Fresh Freesia play a minor role to the red, but are very supportive colors in this mix.
