Stampin' Up!© Cutest Halloween, Sweetest Ice Cream

 

Hello!  Welcome to today's blog and card sharing.

The other day I was enjoying a delicious pumpkin ice cream cone, when, of course it brought to mind the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.  (well, yes, I'm often thinking about stamping and card ideas...aren't you?  😊).  I decided to do a Halloween version of an ice-cream-cone card I made in the past.  To see & shop the list of supplies I used, go HERE. 

Here are Supplies:

• Sweet Ice Cream stamp set (Annual Catalog)
• Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch (Annual Catalog)
• Cutest Halloween Bundle(July-December - Holiday Mini Catalog); stamp set + Halloween Punch
• Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (Holiday Mini)

Striped side of DSP will be cut using Scalloped Contours Dies.  

The other side has the pumpkin face, to be punched out.

• Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins (Holiday Mini)

• Frightful Tags Dies (holiday Mini) - for the die-cut spider web.  This die can be purchased in the Frightfully Cute Bundle, or separately.  Bundle saves you 10%
• Scalloped Contours Dies (Annual Catalog)

• Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (Annual Catalog)
• Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (Annual Catalog)
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
• Basic White card stock, Basic Black CS, Pumpkin Pie CS, Basic Gray CS.

Now, to create this card...

~Start with Die cutting & punching the cone, and die cutting the web

Ice cream cone:

Stamp set & punch used to make the ice cream cone.

• Emboss a piece of Pumpkin Pie CS with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.  Then use the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to punch out the Pumpkin scoops of ice cream.  Stamp black sprinkles on each scoop.
• Stamp the cone image using Memento black ink onto Basic Gray CS; punch out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder punch.

Die-cut the spider's web from Basic Black CS using Frightful Tags Dies.

~Card base & background

• Base:  Black CS 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score/fold at 4 1/4".
• Basic White, 5 1/2" x 3 1/4".  Emboss this piece using the Brick & Mortar 3D Emboss Folder.  Glue to card base, lining up bottom edges.
• Striped piece:  
• Cute Halloween DSP, 5 1/2" x 2". 
• Die cut one long edge using largest scallop die from Scalloped Contours Dies (shown in photo above).
• Glue to card front, lining up top edges (overlapping the brick & mortar piece).

~Sentiment Piece:

• On a piece of white CS (approx. 2 1/4" x 1"), with black ink, stamp the sentiment from Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.
• Stamp the spider from Cutest Halloween stamp set.  With a black marker, draw the straight, small web line that the spider is hanging from.
• Punch out the pumpkin face from the Cute Halloween DSP using the Halloween Punch.  Glue pumpkin face just to the edge, under the spider.  Set this aside for a moment.   (This entire sentiment piece will be adhered to the card after the web is glued down... in the assembly step.  Keep reading.)

~Assemble

• Cut the spider's web into 2 pieces, not quite in half, more like 2/3 and 1/3.  Glue the larger piece near the bottom, along the right hand edge of the card front.  Glue the smaller piece along the top left-hand side of card front.

Spider web cut not-quite-in-half, then glue to card front.

• Now glue the sentiment piece, including the pumpkin face, overlapping the spider web.
• Assemble the ice cream cone:  I glued the cone down first, then I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the scoops, starting with the bottom scoop first, adding/overlapping each successive scoop.
• Add Cute Stars Sequins - I used the orange ones. (They come in orange, black & purple.)

~Inside panel

White CS, 4 1/2" x 3 1/8".

Strip of the DSP, 4 1/2" x 3/4".

Stamp the greeting from Cutest Halloween stamp set.

Stamp the ghost outline & face from the same set.

Glue the panel to the inside of the card.
