Ice Cream Shaker Card

If you know me, then you know that I love ice cream. I will eat almost any ice cream.

(Sorry, McDonalds, you definitely don’t make the cut)

My favourites are coffee or vanilla bean Häagen-Dazs, but I also love a good ice cream cone from most ice cream shops. We have an ice cream shop in town called MooLix, which is a favourite for me and my family. It’s even become a tradition for us on Canada Day to walk along the boardwalk by the lake, so we can hit up the MooLix. A waffle cone with a couple scoops of whatever flavour suites our fancy in the moment is a gloriously tasty treat!

On my Facebook Live last Monday, I made a shaker card using the Ice Cream Corner Suite. This card features the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper, the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set, the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch, and the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles.

You can watch the video on Facebook, but I also have it up on YouTube and here on my blog. What can I say, I like to make things easy for you!

Did you know that the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles will soon be gone forever? They are products in the January – June Mini Catalogue, which means that they will not be available to purchase after June 30th. In fact, they might run out of stock before then, so If you love them, go to my Canadian online store and add them to your cart before it’s too late.

If you like my content, I would love to know! Your comments, replies, and interactions with my posts make my day and encourage me to keep sharing. If you make any of my designs (or use them as a spin off for your own amazing creations), please tag me in your posts on social media. I also love when you share a photo with me through Facebook Messenger. I get so pumped when I see your take on one of my designs or techniques. Thank you for boosting my spirits and supporting my passion.

I think you’re pretty amazing!

Moving Arm Pop-Up

Waaaay back in September, I enjoyed teaching how to make this moving arm card in my technique class. This card is a slightly adapted version of a design shared on Mitosu Crafts. After seeing their card, I did a bit more research on the moving arm concept and used what I learned to make some minor adjustments.

This pop-up design is much easier than you might think! Watch my video tutorial at the end of this post to see for yourself!

Since this design was created last fall, some of the supplies used in this project are no longer available to purchase. However, you are very clever, so I know you’ll be able to use my tutorial to make something amazing with alternate supplies! Check back on my blog on Sunday to see another version of this moving arm pop-up card using current supplies. I’ll be using the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set and the Love You More dies from Stampin’ Up!, just like I did on this card – but it will be a whole new look.

Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Bumblebee are a fun combination of colours that coordinate with the patterned paper on this card. You may have noticed that this project doesn’t use much in the way of stamping. That’s because, my focus for this virtual class was to show the paper technique and allow those attending to use any sentiment stamp they already had at home. That way, almost anyone can join in on my class!

Below is the video tutorial provided to those who attended my September technique class. I like that they could refer back to it and easily make more cards with this technique.

I decided it was time, dear reader, to share it with you as well. Enjoy!

It’s new catalogue time!

The 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue is live and active to customers today! You can check out what’s new by clicking on SHOP in the menu at the top of this page. Then click either on the ONLINE STORE option to view the products or on the ANNUAL CATALOGUE option to flip through the virtual catalogue.

On my Monday Facebook Live video yesterday, I shared this pretty card featuring the Quiet Meadows Bundle and the soft tones of Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent. I think these new In Colors work so nicely with the patterned paper I used from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Watch the video to see how to make this design.
