A Happy Day Means Ice Cream!

I'm loving July's Stamp of the Month - Ice Cream Dream.  Not only is it fun to color but it sure brings back many memories growing up.   I LOVE ice cream although I can't eat it as much as I wish.  Oh, I COULD eat it everyday but my hips would be as big as that truck on this cute little stamp!  My love for ice cream goes all the way back to the days I'd spend with my grandmother.  If we were going to my grandmother's house, then we knew for sure that meant ice cream for dessert!  That tradition has carried on down through the generations.  My daughters knew that anytime they went to their Monie and Pa's (my Mom and Dad) house - that meant Ice Cream!   The girls recently moved into a place of their own and I heard them commenting that the nearby grocery store had even MORE flavors of Ben & Jerry's ice cream than the one that was close to my house!  That's a big deal!

Ice Cream - it's always fun no matter how you serve it - in a bowl, on a cone, or even on a card! Today's card is served up with our ShinHan Touch Twin markers. I kept the card pretty simple without bling or sequins but I did add two strips of washi tape to the sides to fill in the 'white space' a little more!


I used a masking technique to only stamp the word HAPPY from the set.   The word "DAY!" is from the WOTG Scrapbooking Confetti Wishes stamp.   I thought it fit perfectly with this card.  I used our scallop border punch on the edges of the pear cardstock.  This card deserved a DOUBLE SCOOP of ice cream!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
