I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.....

I love how versatile the cupcake builder punch is.  I've created so many different styles of cards with this punch in the last little while and can't get enough!! 

I had fun with is card!! -- I used the petite pendant builder punch for the ice cream cone and for the ice cream i used the cupcake punch.  I JUST LOVE love love ice cream and have a hard time sharing... ; )   I've never had a 4 scooper ice cream cone before..hum...maybe I'll have to put that on my list of things to do this summer!

I just realized as I'm typing up the ingredients to this card that the texturz plate i used for the ice cream retired from the SU catty last year.  Oh dear..!   I'm sure you can "fancy" up your ice cream with one of the "new" textured impressions folders which will be available June 1st!

New Framelit and Edgelit Dies! - Apothecary Art Card

I CASED this card from the Occasions Mini Catalogue. If you've seen the Mini you'll notice a similar card on the front cover! I'm so excited about this mini!! There are so many "MUST HAVE" new products in this amazing catalogue. If you have NOT received your Mini Catalogue yet and you are a purchasing customer of mine (or plan to be), pop me an email with your current address so i can get one out in the mail to you! : )

There is more excitement to come...later this month, Stampin' Up's annual Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalogue comes out and you can earn free stamps or products with every $60 purchase. To add to the excitement, I also have a special treat in store for upcoming SAB celebration!! You'll have to keep your eye on our blog and of course my Monthly Newsletter due out next week for more information.

How many new products do you see on this card? I love the new framelit and edgelit dies!! You will notice i simplified the card from the original card shown on the front of the Mini. There was A LOT going on so I toned it down to focus mainly on the new framelit and edgelit dies! I loved the layout and the look of the NEW adorning accents edgelit border dies and matching embossing folders so i thought I'd give it a try.



I love how the Apothecary Art stamp set matches the Label Collection Framelit dies. All you have to do is stamp the image you want and then place a label framelit over it and then run it through the Big Shot! Cuts it out perfectly!! I also love the look of the bracket edge border edgelit and how it coordinates with the bracket edge border textured impressions embossing folder.

You may want to use a stamp-a-ma-jig (101049) to stamp your greeting?? OR stamp your greeting before you start to colour!! I didn't stamp my greeting straight!! --i forgot to stamp the greeting BEFORE i coloured!! ; )

Hope you like... : )
