Welcome everyone to the first day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I'm very excited to get started and start sharing my projects with you all using my three new sets. For today I'm going to share projects using my ice cream set...Sweet As Can Be! A perfect stamp set for these hot summer days!
Before we get to the projects I'll give you the scoop (I just couldn't resist ;) on the set...
Sweet As Can Be!
- there are 12 images - 5 ice cream scoops...3 patterned, 1 solid, 1 outline, 2 cones...1 outline & 1 patterned, a cherry, 3 sentiments & the word 'sweet'
- will retail for $15
- has a coordinating cone and scoop die
- available July 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
Up first is a card I created using the coordinating cone and scoop die and some Dark Chocolate and Melon Berry felt. I started by adding a strip of Melon Berry and Spring Moss cardstock across the middle of my card. I then moved onto the tag.
The Tag Sale #1 die was stamped in Melon Berry using the Background Basics: Gingham set. After adhering my strip of lace across the center I placed my ice cream cone on top. Instead of the cherry I added a Spring Moss button.
Here is one of the sentiments in the set. I really love how you can stamp the word 'sweet' separately from the rest of the sentiment!
Up next is a card using one of the patterned scoops in the set. Again, I ran the cone and scoop through my die cut machine and then stamped my scoop in Pure Poppy ink. There is also a patterned cone image as well as an outlined one in the set but I left my cone on this card blank.
Happy Birthday, sweet thing! is another sentiment in the set.
Lastly for today I made a set of invitations! My kiddos and I have been talking about having an ice cream party before school starts back up so I created these to send off to their friends. I have attached the file for you to print your own off below. All you have to do is add your ice cream cone or whatever ice cream image you would like.
After printing them all off I moved onto my ice cream cones. I created a variety of different colored scoops using the die again....Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus, Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse and Summer Sunrise. I stamped each scoop with the outline scoop image in the set.
I'm so glad you all stopped by today! I'll have more to share tomorrow using another one of my newest sets plus I'll have more to share of Sweet As Can Be later in the countdown. Be sure to stop by and see what the other Papertrey gals have to share....
See you all tomorrow! Til then have a wonderful day!
Oh how stinkin CUTE!!!! LOVE the adorable ice cream cone, with the perfect sentiments to go with it!!!

Thought I might get off easy this month, but alas, it is not to be. Your sets are sooo cute and I love the funky paper. I keep promising myself I won't buy anymore paper, but somethings are just too good to pass up. Thanks for dies to go with the stamps. Your samples are wonderful.

This set is so cool--pun intended! Heehee! Seriously, I like all of your projects, particularly the first one which reminds me of orange sherbet and dark chcoolate! :)
