If you looked in my freezer, it would be unusual to find fewer than two quarts of ice cream. This sentiment, from the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set, rings true for me. I grew up eating Carnation ice cream, followed by 31 Flavors, and now, it doesn’t matter, it’s all good!
Ice Cream
The first thing I did was cut “ice cream” from Melon Mambo, 6X6 Brights Designer Paper. I attached the designer paper to a 1″ strip of Foam Adhesive Sheet, placed the letters on top, and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I turned the letters upside down, and ran it through a second time to make sure it was a good cut.
The Foam Adhesive Sheet is an easy way to give the small letters wonderful dimension, and it’s easy to peel the backing and stick them to the card front.
The background is Basic White Cardstock (5 1/4″ X 4″) on a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″). I added a piece of Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 2 1/2″, that I cut from corner to corner, and embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.
The little flags were cut from Balmy Blue Cardstock with a Happy Die.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with Ornate Frames Dies. I get a kick out of the humorous words!
I was inspired by TGIF.

Spring is around the corner, and butterflies will be filling the air. In fact, right now, they are flying in from Butterfly Bouquet, and can’t wait to land on your cards! You can see details of the Butterfly Brilliance Collection in my Product List below.
Today’s card has a beautiful butterfly in the colors of Poppy Parade and Magenta Madness, cut from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper, with a Brilliant Wings Die. I used a second Brilliant Wings Die to cut wings from Vellum, which I glued to the body. This softens the look, and adds dimension, don’t you think?
Butterfly & Lace
For the background, I used the large, Stitched Lace Die, which hasn’t seen action for a while. After cutting the large, lace piece from Basic White Cardstock, I used the long, skinny, edge die to trim the four sides.
Next, I layered the lace rectangle on Basic White Cardstock that was cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. Prior to gluing to the Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), I added black ribbon that was in the Sending Hearts Paper Pumpkin Kit.
“Easter Blessings” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die. Opal Rounds finished off my second Butterfly Bouquet card. More to come!
I gave lots of details about Butterfly Bouquet with my first card. Clicking the card will take you to my blog post.
Brilliant Wings
My layout was from the Paper Players.

To show off the fun, color combination, I chose the Art Gallery Bundle, a favorite from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The stamp set and dies can be purchased separately, or in a bundle which gives you a 10% savings. Clicking on the pictures in my Product List below takes you to the details.
Art Gallery Flower
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
The middle piece is Subtles 6X6″ Designer Paper in a Blushing Bride print, cut with an Ornate Layers Die. I love the detailed edge, don’t you?
For the focal point, I created a layered, Art Gallery, flower. I used two stamps, stamped in Real Red Ink (one on top of the other) on Basic White Cardstock, and used its die for cutting. Then, I used two more stamps for the layered part of the flower, cut with its die, and attached the parts with Dimensionals.
Next, I stamped the stem & leaves in Bermuda Bay Ink, used its die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “thank you,” is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, stamped in Bermuda Bay Ink, cut with a Floral Gallery Die, and attached with Dimensionals.
