…we all scream for ice cream!  I didn’t have a diecut or any kind of ice cream stamps so I had to improvize for this card.  Sometimes that works and other times it doesn’t.  This was one of those time when what I thought in my head was actually how it turned out!  I distressed the edges of the blue with my CTMH Distresser.  I used Liquid Applique to add dimension to the ice cream and embossed and sanded the lines on the cone.  The blue button was a bit bright and took away from the ice cream cone so I added a yellow button sticker to the top to tone it down.

Products used:  KI Memories paper, Basic Grey pearls, Liquid Applique, Funky Flower stickers by Pebbles, Inc. (button sticker), unknown ribbon and button.

This was a fun layout and the colors worked well together.  I kinda wish I had made the rhinestone circle smaller but I like the pattern.  I used a Mini Dots All Around template by TheCraftersWorkshop.com.  I love this little template for making circles with eyelets, brads, buttons, bling, etc.  Layout was based on Scrap Sketch #120.

Products used: Making Memories paper, Reminisce paper, KI Memories flourish glitter border sticker, Alice in Wonderland Disney stickers by EK Success, Basic Grey bling it rhinestones, and Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge.

I used pop dots for the photo, button stickers, and arrow.  I also used Friday Sketchers #65.

Products used: Daisy Hill sticker tab, CTMH Stardust paper & Stickease, CTMH cardstock (Dutch Blue & Clover Meadow), and unknown hemp.

I decided to just start creating so I cleaned off my desk and used the scraps that were already sitting here and this is what I came up with.  I feel like it’s missing something but I am afraid that if I try adding something I will overdo it.  I don’t normally make cards with much white space but I’m going to leave this one.

Products used: Reminisce paper, Making Memories paper, Basic Grey bling it rhinestones, Making Memories ribbon charm, CTMH organdy ribbon.
