Hello my cardmaking friends!
Today I am up on the Scrapbook Pal blog.
Today I have just the cutest summer card using Pink
Fresh Studio’s Ice Cream Truck.
It is a new release and it comes with a clear stamp set, coordinating
dies and multi-layered
stencil. I decided to make it a
shaker card using Dress
My Craft Rainbow Cup Sequins.
For the background on this card, I used the Pink
Fresh Diagonal Plaid Press Plate.
I used the Spellbinders
Better Press Letter Press System.
I inked my plate with Pink Fresh Studio’s Ink in Peach
Fuzz, Soft
Lilac, Waterfall
and Fresh
Pear. To create the plaid, I inked
the plate diagonally switching colors and then ran it through my die
cutter. I then turned the plate a
quarter turn, inked the plate and ran it through again. I cut it down to 4.0” x
5.25”.
To create the shaker part of my card, I cut the truck using
the Ice
Cream Truck Die Set six times from 110lb cardstock. I glued the die cuts together. This is my preferred way to create the wells
on my shaker cards as opposed to using foam tape. I also glued the little tire pieces that the
die cut out along with the actual truck.
I decided to do this so that they would be the same height as the
truck.
I cut the truck from a medium gray colored cardstock. I lightly inked the edges with Hickory
Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. I also used the Ice
Cream Truck Stencil with the same ink to add the little bumper and
wheels on the truck. I also used the stencil
as a guideline to cut the windshield from the gray cardstock. I did this by lightly tracing the windshield
on the gray cardstock and then cut it out.
I inked the top layer of my shaker well with Tumbled
Glass Distress Oxide Ink where the windshield would be. I also inked a couple of window cut outs with
Pink Fresh’s Ballet
Slippers.
Once I had adhered
the truck to the card, I inserted the windows in the openings and then
sprinkled in my shaker elements and sealed it up with a piece of acetate. I won’t adhere the gray cardstock truck until
I have stamped the sentiment on it once I know where I will place my little
bear.
I colored my images with Copic makers in the following
colors:
Once they were colored, I used the die to cut them out.
I adhered the bear and the small ice cream cone to the truck. Once I had those placed, I inked the
sentiment with Memento
Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped it on the ice cream truck body. The sentiment is included in the stamp
set.
To finish up my card, I adhered it to a piece of turquoise
cardstock cut to 4.25” x 5.5”. I felt
like it needed a little bling, so I randomly glued on some sequins and touched
up the ice cream cones with Stardust
Stickles Glitter Glue.
I really like how colorful this card turned out and I hope
you have enjoyed following along with the process.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and
remember that all the supplies used to create this card are available at Scrapbook Pal.
