The sun is shining in Montreal today, but it’s still a frost MINUS 19!! Yikes. I miss summer 😛 Which is where I got the inspiration for this card. Created for a birthday card challenge, using Stampin Up colors Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding. The name of the colors inspire the ice cream theme, and I wanted to create something fun – this is what I came up with:
Ice Cream Retro Polka Dots card made using Cupcake punch & Stampin Up Circle Swing Flip It Thnlits
Here is what I used to create this card: All materials are from Stampin Up
Stamps: Pennant Parade, Itty Bitty Banners
Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush
Inks: Crumb cake (ice cream base), Chocolate chip (sentiment)
Markers: Chocolate Chip (dash lines)
Misc: Circle thinlits, Cupcake builder punch, Itty Bitty Banners framlits, Circle punch (1.25″, 0.5″, 2″ & circle from bitty punch pack)

Hiya Stampers!! It is still FREEZING in Montreal. Like gross cold. Which, as always, gives me a great excuse to not have to go out, which means I can play in my craft room!! Yay! I just moved to Montreal on October, and everyone tells me that this is an unusually cold winter. Like that makes me feel much better – it was TWENTY degree difference from back home (Vancouver) to here last week. 
So, here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that we will be making in the Valentine’s Day workshop this month using the new “Just Sayin” stamp and die bundle that Stampin Up just released in their new Occasions catalog last week.
Just Sayin Stampin Up ‘Love Ya’ Word Bubble card
Thanks for stopping by stampers!! Don’t forget – your comments are welcome and appreciated!!
Well, it’s -19 in Montreal today. Yep. MINUS NINETEEN!! Which gives me the perfect reason to not go out, and stay in my craft room all day!!!
Now that the holidays are over I am able to host workshops again. I have two this month that are going to be great:
Using all the latest items from the NEW Occasions catalog this workshop will feature 4 projects: 3 cards and one 3D project (like a post it note holder, or gift box, etc). But that’s not all!! To celebrate the release of the new catalog, each attendee will receive a free copy of the new catalog and a FREE GOODIE BAG just for attending!
Featuring 3 different cards: two feminine and one masculine card, this workshop will feature many different techniques including wet embossing, die cutting and more!
Here is one of the cards that we will be making for the Valentine’s Day workshop:
Montreal Card Workshop: Valentines’ Day project #1
We will be using the limited edition “Follow My Heart” stamp set for this workshop – there is something romantic about the Eiffel Tower is there?! *sigh* And being in the French province of Canada, I thought this stamp set was very apropos this year.
Until next time stampers!!
