It's an ice cream kind of day...

 But then, isn't every day an ice cream kind of day? We go through a lot of ice cream in our house, considering there are only two people eating it! Both my DH and I love it and never seem to tire of having a little bowl of it for dessert.

Recently, my cardmaking sister sent me a die set that she had accidentally ordered in duplicate. (Yup, I've done that, too!) 

The die set features ice cream treats, and, of course, I had to make some cards with it right away.

This is the card I made to thank her for sending the dies. Doesn't that ice cream cone look yummy?

I love that it includes a little cherry die, which will be useful for cards that need a little cherry embellishment, even when they don't feature ice cream.

I did a little inking on the cone, which is cut in two layers -- the full cone and an additional layer for the top part of the cone.

The sentiment was printed with my coputer, matted and popped up with foam tape.

The dot embellishments are Nuvo Drops.

This was the computer-printed sentiment on the inside.

The die set also includes a die for sprinkles, so I made another card and added some of those. Otherwise it was made in essentially the same way as the first card.

For this card, the sentiment was stamped, die-cut and popped up.

The dots are actually some old enamel dots I had in my stash. They were the right color and could be drips of melted ice cream, don't you think?

I stamped a fun sentiment on the inside. It's perfect for cards that feature sprinkles on ice cream!

I know this die set will be used a lot for making cards to donate. I always need card ideas for children.

Thanks again, Sis, for thinking of me! Go ahead and order more duplicate die sets. Personally, I love it when you do!!! he he

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
