Happy Weekend to all~ I have another 2 day post for you from team members! Bridget was so excited that she wanted to pair up this weekend with a SUPER fun gal from New York (I will keep you in suspense as to who it is) so I guess you will have to POP back tomorrow!
Now how about this super clean and simple summer Birthday Card! I was just thrilled that team South/North chose this stamp set as it is a classic! I simply think that each of us can remember great memories of an ice-cream treat!
The stamp set is Cool Treats and I was thrilled that it was carried over into the annual catalog! There are matching framelits so you already know that it is an instant WIN-WIN!
I think that just about any stamp company out there has an ice-cream stamp set out but I will say that I think that Stampin’ Up! nailed it with this one with all of the possibilities of “2 step stamping” they have and the sentiments….yep – a classic!
You can clearly see that there are a BUNCH of framelits in this beauty and I agree that this would not be a hard one to “fussy cut” out…but I like to go through my scraps and take the time to cut out a bunch of “cones” and then they are ready to go when I need one.
If you try to get in the habit of doing this….you will find that it makes the journey of paper-crafting much easier. There is nothing like having some elements all ready to go so when you do have the “me time” to craft….you can sit down and craft away!
You can see that Bridget took the Red, White and Blue theme ( I actually think the treat like this is called a Rocket Popsicle) and the one cone is flat on the card and then she POPPED up the 2nd one for a subtle and fun interest.
If you missed Bridget’s fun fold card last week….click here to see it and you will be able to read that she is from the North Carolina area….in case you live near her!
This stamp set is a photopolymer so you know what that means…..yep…..easy to stamp as you can look right through it for perfect placement each and every time when using multiple colors! By far…this IS my stamp of choice and WOW…..we have come a long way with photopolymers!
You all know how I feel about Bakers Twine….LOVE IT and I feel that we all need to have it in every color. Now I know that is a big statement to say but hear me out….it is super affordable and does the trick! Stampin’ Up! offers great color choices and also do not forget to check in the clearance area….(its a bit skimpy right now) but I scoop up twine whenever I see it!
Bridget wrapped the twine around 3 times and then a simple bow! Again, just another element of texture did the trick!
Now how about giving Bridget some love with her card today! I am super proud that these ladies wanted to share their work with you and it is my pleasure to blog about it for them!
Pop back tomorrow and you will see how it was stepped up! This is a great example of clean and simple and you know that the shy truly is the limit with color combinations. Wouldn’t it be fun to do the shaving cream technique with a cone to make a marbled looking ice cream treat? Hmmmmmm…..into my memory bank for the future!
See you tomorrow…..enjoy the day!
Bridget, this is a very fun card and red, white and blue are not just for holidays. Thanks so much for sharing your card on Susan’s blog. What a great idea to give Susan a break after her trip. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s stepped up card from the “surprise” guest. Have a great weekend, Susan and Bridget.
Bridgit, Simple and so sweet. Love that you used red, white ad blue. I always loved these popsicles in summer. They make a great birthday card.
Yummy! We have been having a heat wave with a heat index of 105 in the evening even. So, the popsickles make me feel cooler. I used to get a lemon/lime twist one when I was a kid. Maybe because hardly anyone else would get that flavor so I never had to be disappointed with the ice cream guy selling my favorite flavor out. Who knew I was way ahead on the trend – they really were almost the same color as our new color. Maybe I will pull mine set out and make one for old times sake! Great simpler card Bridget!
Oh Bridgit ! Love the colors and this is the perfect card for these hot summer days ! I especially like your sentiment color choice with this card ! It packs a POP (SICLE) !!! TEE HEE !
Rocket pops. Patriotic and cool! Bravo for Bridget!
Great card Bridget!!! Love the clean one layer card, well except for that awesome popsicle that is popping up saying “EAT ME”!!! Well done! I can’t wait to see what the gal from my home island comes up with!
Fun for summer! I can see these colors and fun popsicles used also for 4th of July party invites, Memorial Day picnics, etc….
Perfect for summer! Adorable card and the colors are so energetic! Thanks Bridget.
Love how you colored these pops. It brings back such fun memories of running out to the ice cream truck in the neighborhood. We don’t have one in our neighborhood now. This is a fun card.
