Julie's Creative Stamping: Sweet Ice Cream "You melt my heart"

Happy to have you visiting my blog today! Who doesn't love Ice Cream! It's my Grandkids favorite treat when they come to my house! This new suite from Stampin Up® "Ice Cream Corner Suite" is adorable! I love all the vibrant colors.

For this card I used most of the items in the suite! The Sweet Ice Cream Stamp set, the Designer Series Paper, and the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon (so pretty). I also brought in the Layering Circle Dies. If your just starting out with Stampin Up®, I highly recommend investing all the Shapes dies. I use them so much!

Don't forget to add your email to the right so that you will notified each time I add a new card to my blog! Please leave me a comment at the end of this blog! I really love hearing from anyone who visits!
