Ice Cream Dreams

Here is card #1 of 3 that my June classes will be making. It's called a latch card. The rest of the cards will be posted within the next 3 days. 

I used the Close to my Heart June Stamp of the Month, Ice Cream Dreams, which can be purchased for only $5 with a qualifying purchase. 

The papers used are from the CTMH Confetti Wishes paper pack which will be retiring the end of next month. 

The Ice Cream and cone were stamped right on colored cardstock and cut out then shaded with the coordinating colors of inks. 

I tied Thistle Extra Thick Twine around the area where the card bends.

The starting inspiration for this card came from a sketch challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

Other Challenges for this card:

Crafty Calender - Fancy Fold Cards

Didi Designs - Use die cuts

Crafts for Eternity - Birthday

Wags 'n Whiskers - Seeing Spots

Love Ya Silly - Birthday

I needed a Birthday in a hurry and the first stamp set I found in my stash was this CTMH Set called Love Ya Silly. Even thought the sentiments are geared towards a valentine, I just used the images and turned it into a cute Birthday card for a little boy's 7th Birthday. 
The sentiments came from the Perfect Fit Birthday Stamp Set

The inspiration for the card started with a sketch from The Sketch Aunts. I just turned it on it's side. 

I started with the sketch and the Confetti Wishes Paper Pack.  I then used inks from the color pallet of the paper which is Pacifica, Pear, Thistle and Canary.
