Ice Cream Cone Birthday Cards



One of my favourite Sheetloads is the June 2021 Sheetload of Cards. Every time I use it, I am inspired to just keep creating with it. It's a 'Special Edition', and calls for 6 x 6" patterned papers instead of the usual 12 x 12". I had been going through an older package of paper by Stampin' Up and spied these four that went together perfectly. Then I was off and running and created these eight cards for my Mom's old nursing home.


If you are curious about the paper, I believe it was a paper share that was gifted to me from my then-Stampin' Up demonstrator. The papers were likely originally 12 x 12" and she cut them down to 6 x 6" to make them easier to mail to her customers.

I had one of the teal card bases sitting on my stamping table as I had just finished a different card. So I used that for one of the cards and the rest are white. The ice cream cone is a Stampin' Up punch, the cone part was punched from a Kraft print patterned paper and the ice cream from a rainbow holographic mirror card stock. Lots of fun shine on these ones!

The cards are all the same inside, and I used my MISTI for the stamping.


I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
