#TGIFC305 - A Sweet Birthday Slimline Card

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to a sweet blog update featuring TGIF Challenges #305 - sweet inspirations. 

I sure had a heck of a time trying to come up with some ideas and admit I got stuck and lost some of my creativity mojo. Eventually, it came back to me and I got to creating.

I chose to use the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle from the 2021 Mini Catalog by Stampin' UP! and create a slimline card.

I must say this card looks good enough to eat with all that scrumptious Ice Cream Corner DSP! Don't you think?!

My Tips

>> The finished card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". 

>> Fussy cut 6 different ice cream cones from the Ice Cream Corner DSP.

>> The confetti patterned paper strips are cut to 3/4" x 8 1/4".

>> The diagonal patterned paper strips are cut to 1/4" x 8 1/4" 

>> use the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend to flick some ink onto the white piece that is cut out using the Ornate Layers die.

>> Use a Blackberry Bliss piece of cardstock that measures 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" as a mat for the white piece that was cut out using the Ornate Layers die. Pop that up with some dimensionals.

>> Stamp off the cone using Cinnamon Cider ink then stamp the cone pattern onto the cone with full strength Cinnamon Cider ink. Punch out cone and ice cream using the builder punch.

>> Use some Fine tip glue pen to adhere the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles to the ice cream piece.

>> Cut out the word "happy" using the Word Wishes dies from a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock that's adhered to a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet.

>> stamp the word "birthday" using the Family Party stamp set onto a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink. 

>> for the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment "with sprinkles on top" using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set using Blackberry Bliss ink.

>> the DSP strips measure the same as on the card front.

>> Flick some more Blackberry Bliss ink from the Stampin' Blend and punch out another ice cream cone using the builder punch.
