Share A Milkshake Card Class Bonus Cards
All week I have been sharing cards from my weekly Card Class From ME, featuring the Share A Milkshake Bundle. You can view the card assembly process here.
I also like to create a few “bonus” card ideas that are not part of the class kits in the mail. These additional clever cards are meant to inspire you further with the bundle of the week.
Life Is Sweeter With Wafer Cones
My Life Is Sweeter With You Wafer Cone card is one that I CASED from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. It features an old fashioned wafer cone, made with Pale Papaya Cardstock. I added a little like color ink along the edges to give my cone some depth. And did you notice the gold embossed sentiment on my Vellum layer? Just divine.
Slimline Ice Cream Mountain Card
And if you are looking for an over-the-top kind of card, go slimline! This funky style allows you to add ice cream a mile high…or at least it feels that way. I made sure to tip some of my scoops to the side, like a large pile of teetering ice cream should look.
I covered the “slot” on each scoop (meant to hold a spoon or straw) by die cutting additional like color cardstock and adhering them to the large scoops. This time I heat embossed my sentiment in White Embossing Powder, and placed my words carefully on the fountain glass.
Life Is Sweeter With Lots Of Color Choices
My Color Swap Card in greens was a change from a card done in blues. It was featured fully on a post from yesterday. You can view that article here.
Share A Milkshake Card Class Alternate Cards
Not Share A Milkshake Bundle Cards
While my card kits are heavy on ice cream this week, I realize not everyone wants this frosty treat on their cards. But did you know you don’t have to use my featured bundle, Share A Milkshake, to create beautiful cards?
When you get my weekly Card Class From ME, I provide the card kits and you choose what you want to stamp with from your supplies at home. Most of the elements of each kit are already punched, embossed or die cut (minus the items from the featured bundle) and you will get cardstock to work with as well. This is your opportunity to change it up!
Here is a look at some “alternate” ideas of what you could create with this week’s class kits:
Happy Birthday Card with Stack Shuffle Repeat
I flipped the placement of the Vellum scallop die cut and Petal Pink circle die cut, stamping on the later. I chose the stamp set, Lovely & Lasting for all the imagery on my alternate card. This stamp set is bundled with the Lasting Label Punch, featured on both cards in Very Vanilla Cardstock.
Pretty In Purple
Once again I kept the card kit intact and only used papers included in it for my alternate purple themed card. Instead of a soda fountain drink, complete with straws, I swapped in a simple daisy.
I used the Medium Daisy Punch for 2 white punched pieces. And I just had to add a little Fresh Freesia Ink with a sponge dauber to the tips of the petals.
The specialty papers on this card add a bit of flair without being too blingy. If you would like more information on the original soda fountain card, click here.
So Blue Without You
There are 2 things that are sweet: thinking of you and ice cream. Why not have both? When you get my weekly Card Class From ME, you receive 2 card kits for each of 3 original designs. It is easy to create duplicates that are exact, but even more fun to switch things up!
I kept my alternate card quite simple for this change-up. You may notice that I chose to stamp on the white Basic Border die cut piece. I also turned the direction of the die cut design. Once again, all my stamping on this alternate card came from the Lovely & Lasting Stamp Set.
