Today is my granddaughter, Maddy’s, ninth birthday. She’s celebrating her birthday on Nantucket–what could be better? Before she left on vacation we went on a birthday shopping trip. She turns out to be one great shopper. She knows where she wants to go, and when she gets there she makes good choices. She had the choice of opening her card that day. But she chose to take it to Nantucket to open today. Hopefully, she’ll be pleased with it. All of my grandchildren are fans of The Greetery’s Honeycomb products, and the ice cream cone seemed perfect for a July birthday.
I finally have the dies for the What’s the Scoop? stamp set, and they are so much fun–adding a chocolate topping that creates sprinkles. Also new for this card is the Frosted Frames die. The patterned papers were in a box with older papers from my scrapbooking days.
I added a few enamel dots for embellishment, and it was done.
I made two other ice cream cards with the Hey, Honeycomb Ice Cream Cone. They’re all similar, but all three have different backgrounds.
This one has a foiled background with The Greetery’s Ticker Tape, and die cut with The Stitched Scallop, also by The Greetery. You can see the foiling better in this photo:
And finally with the honeycomb opened up.
The background for the next card was stamped with Concord and 9th’s Celebration Turnabout stamp, and die cut once again with the Stitched Scallop die.
I don’t often enter more than two or maybe three challenges at a time, but this is an exception.The AAA Birthday Challenge and The Four Seasons Challenge are looking for Summer cards. Festive Friday’s current theme is National Ice Cream Day. Maddy’s card has sprinkles, a cone, and ice cream for the Festive Friday Challenge. And at Just Us Girls, it’s Die Cut Week with Summer Things as the theme.

I absolutely love your sweet honeycomb cards. I actually purchased ALL of them, with the exception of the ice cream cone. It’s SO cute, but for some reason, I never picked up this one. Such lovely designs, great colors and delicious ice cream (my favorite). Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Four Seasons. We appreciate your participation very much.
For another FUN challenge, I’d love to have you come share your wonderful art and talent with us at Word Art Wednesday. We are always Anything Goes/Family Friendly, and we have awesome sponsors/PRIZES. Our current sponsor is the wonderful Lawn Fawn $25. Come join us.
