Stampin' Up! Sweet Ice Cream Cone

 You all know that I'm a punch girl!

Well- I love this bundle!

It is so totally me.

As ice cream is one of my favorite things too!

This double scoop ice cream cone is cute!

I used the Ice Cream Corner DSP for the ice cream scoops,

stamped some sprinkles on them & added some Wink of Stella!

 

This Cinnamon Cider striped DSP is from the Flowers for Every Season DSP pack.

 

This is a great all occasion card & it doesn't just have to be for a birthday.

Stampin' Up! Soaring Confidently

Here is a guy card, using the 'Soaring Confidently' stamp set.

I stamped this airplane, using the Misty Moonlight ink, directly onto the 

World of Good Specialty DSP.

 I know we have several guy's in our family that have upcoming birthdays.

And then Father's Day will be here soon too.

This card would be great for these.

On this one I changed the base of the card to Basic White.

If the Crumb Cake card stock would have matched this DSP I would have

probably choose to use that as my base, but it didn't look good with it at all.

Which one of these do you like better?

The Misty Moonlight base or the Basic White base?
