Sprinkles of Life --6x3

I have one more Sprinkles of Life card to share with you this week.  I wanted to make a nice tall ice cream cone and figured what better way than to make a tall card.

The inspiration for this one also came from the sentiment.  The card base itself is 6x6 scored in half at 3".  I used Chocolate Chip, Whisper White (stamped with Smoky Slate), Watermelon Wonder, and Cucumber Crush (with Chocolate Chip sprinkles).  The cone is tone on tone Delightful Dijon.  I cut the cone out with scissors and the ice cream with the Tree Builder punch.  Two pieces of the Lace Trim are put together for the lower band.  You can easily step up this card further with a cherry on top (Tree Builder Punch) and a small button with twine next to sentiment.

Tomorrow is my Catalog Kick-off Party.  If you are in Lawton, OK look on my demonstrator website event page for more information.

Sprinkles of Life --cont.

This stamp set is popular.  Stampin' Up! truly put a lot of thought into the design on this one.  The fact that $3 is donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities every time someone purchases the stamp set, really puts the cherry on top.

I love that the images have so many obvious multiple uses.  Yesterday I used the image as the top of a cupcake, today it is easily used as the clouds.  I wanted my clouds to be less stated, so I stamped the Smokey Slate ink off on my works space before stamping on the card.  They are really light in the photo, but show perfectly in person.  We have had a lot of rain here and I didn't want my clouds to look like they may bring forth a storm randomly.

The tree trunk was stamped in Chocolate Chip on the Whisper White cardstock.  The top of the tree is Cucumber Crush stamped tone on tone and then punched out with the Tree Builder punch.  The punch does punch out the tree truck, but I chose not to do that this time.  The little flowers stamp with the leaves and grass in a bunch of three.  Then the flower itself is stamped one at a time, so you can change up the color or placement easily.  The set contains a bird and an apple that can also be punched out with the tree builder punch.  As I sad yesterday, there are so many sentiments in this set of 22 photopolymer stamps.  I have plans for this card.

Ronald McDonald House Charities

Every year Stampin' Up! creates a new stamp set to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Each time someone purchases the stamp set Stampin' Up! donates $3 to RMHC.  I can promise you it is going to be a great year for RMHC this year.  This  photopolymer stamp set has 22 stamps and is so wonderfully called Sprinkles of Life (#139971).  Just take a look at this stamp set and some of the projects the creative minds at Stampin' Up! has done with it.

The variety of uses for this stamp set is amazing.  There is even a coordinating punch available called Tree Builder (#138295).  I found it super easy to sit down and start creating with this set.  Just a quick read of the sentiments and I was ready to stamp an idea.  

I started with the sentiment.  This one led to a simple cupcake.  This card is 4-1/4" x 4-1/4".  The image panel is 4 x 4.  I stamped the images in Momento Ink (#132708) so that I could color it in with Stampin' Write Markers and not bleed the image lines.  I added the candle because it just makes me smile.  Why are candles reserved for birthdays?  Put a candle on your next cupcake and make a small wish or prayer for someone.  Can you believe it, the DSP strip on the left is from the Cherry on Top Paper Stack (#138443)?  You didn't think I missed an opportunity to use it did you?  The end of the tag was punched with the Scallop Tag Topper (#133324) and a couple pieces of ribbon tied on.
