Life Is Sweeter With You Card

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!

Milkshake Celebration Card

Celebrate With The Share A Milkshake Bundle

One of the best ways to celebrate is with ice cream! It goes well with parties, and cake. And if you are celebrating a grand occasion, you probably need a grand card to go along with it.

That is where the Share A Milkshake Bundle comes in so handy, for all of life’s celebrations! This is the second card from my weekly Card Class From ME. If you missed the first card, check here.

Pretty Perfect Purple

Because the colors of my milkshake glass and cold foamy drink are softer in tone, I chose Fresh Freesia as my main accent color. Don’t you think it works perfectly here? You may have noticed a bit of “shine” on this card too…

There are a couple of specialty papers involved here. One, in Fresh Freesia, comes from the just released Fine Shimmer 12 x 12″ Paper Pack. My second accent color, Balmy Blue, also shows up from the just released Textured 12 x 12″ Shimmer Paper. I talked about them in my live class video, which you will find here.

Share A Milkshake Two-Step Stamping

The Share A Milkshake Stamp Set features great ice cream options. And you will be doing some two-step stamping as well! Two-step stamping is when you use two separate stamps, one over top of the other, to create one image, as shown above.

Play with different color options when stamping your ice cream vessels. Also, try stamping off for second generation ink on your background image. Next stamp step two with a fully inked stamp. Once again, your images will vary greatly. Use the one you like best with the coordinating Share A Milkshake Dies.

Your Weekly Card Class From ME

Welcome to this week’s card class! I am featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Share A Milkshake Bundle and a popular winter sport…eating ice cream. Not sure about you, but it is a popular winter sport in my home at least…

And what could be a sweeter way to pass the winter time than by making cards (eating ice cream is optional). Your cards will be especially sweet when you pair the Share A Milkshake Stamp Set and Share A Milkshake Dies into the mix.

Share A Milkshake Bundle

The Share A Milkshake Bundle is all occasion fun. I think it is perfect for birthdays, kid’s cards, friend/thinking of you or a pick-me-up type of card. The stamp set even features a “Be my Valentine” option, so spread some love with your ice cream offering!

Here is a look at the Share A Milkshake Bundle I am using for this weeks Card Class From ME:
