In today's Minute to Make It video, I'm showing you how I made this card featuring the Sweet Ice Cream set

 

This was a card I made for my nephew's birthday.  He turned eight and is right at that age where I don't want a card that is too young, nor do I want a card that is too old.  I figured that an ice cream cone would be just the thing!

A couple of weeks ago, my oldest son turned 23.  When I sat down to make a card for him, I decided to pull out my Hey Birthday Chick stamp set.  I've actually not played with it yet, and I thought it would make for a fun, light-hearted card.  I think he liked it, although he was probably more interested on what was inside, lol!

Create with Friends Card

Materials:

    Stamps: Create with Friends

    Ink: Evening Evergreen

    Card stock:

        Sahara Sand: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

        Soft Sea Foam: 5 1/4" x 4"

        Expression in Ink Designer Series Paper: 5/8" x 5 1/8" (5)

        Gold and Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper: 1 3/4" x 5 1/2"

        Basic White: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

    Accessories: none

 

I don't know about you, but I've seen several cards in this style floating around the internet in the last couple of weeks.  I just had to give it a try myself.  I used 5/8" wide strips of the new Expressions In Ink DSP.  Can I just say that that paper is ah-mazing! The colors are so rich and the gold marbling is just gorgeous.  The hardest part about this card was trimming my white card stock to fit just right across the card at an angle.  I used my Paper Trimmer, and then once I had that layer, I used it to help me cut the gold layer.

Minute to Make It: Happy Thoughts Card

Materials:

    Stamps: Happy Thoughts

    Ink: Evening Evergreen

    Card stock:

        Evening Evergreen: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

        Night of Navy: 5 1/4" x 4"

        Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper: 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

        Crushed Curry: 3" x 4 1/4"

        Basic White: 3" x 1 3/4"

    Accessories: Scalloped Contours Dies, Paper Trimmer, Fine Art Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals

In today's Minute to Make It video, I show you how to create this card using the Happy Thoughts set and the Color and contour dies:

 

 

You all know how much I love all the different label dies.  In this card, I chose to cut out the center of the label.  I attached it to the card with dimensionals and then I attached a slightly smaller rectangle with dimensionals as well.  This creates a really lovely framed effect which pairs well with our beautiful designer series papers.  This is a simple design, but you can get some great looks just by changing out the papers and colors.
