Share A Milkshake

I don't know about you, but I LOVE ice cream!  It's the one thing that I never seem to be able to turn down.  Today's blog is about a new photopolymer stamp set that came in our January-February 2023 Mini catalog.  It is called, Share a Milkshake.  It comes in a bundle with die cuts that are fun to use!

In my Tickled Tuesday video, I shared how easy it is to make a simple and fun card with this set.



These are the materials that were used to make this card:

Share a Milkshake Bundle (Stamps and Dies)
Mint Macron Cardstock
Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (from the Sale a-bration catalog)
Shimmery White Cardstock
Mint Macron Classic Stamp Pad
Early Espresso Classic Stamp Pad
Scraps of Real Red, Early Espresso, Smoky Slate, and Soft Suede cardstock

Card base: 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" of the Mint Macron Cardstock 
Layer: Dandy Design Designer Series Paper - one 2" x 5-1/2" strip
            one 1-5/8" x 3" of another design I just flipped over the first strip design and used that side

Top Layer: Scallops and Contour Dies set was used to cut the Shimmery White Cardstock that my sentiment was stamped on with Early Espresso Classic Ink

I also stamped the ice cream in Mint Macron.  Using the die cuts from the bundle I cut out all of the pieces needed to make this dish of ice cream, with a cherry on top. I assembled the pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then placed them on with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To see how this was done, go to my video.  It's short but pretty easy to understand.  If you'd like to purchase our Share a Milkshake Bundle, or any other products shown here, please visit my shop. Or click on the image(s) below.  They will take you to my shop.    Be sure to use the

 I am doing a challenge with the team that I am a part of.  My team is the STARS and we are challenged with making 9 original cards this month.  This challenge is a sketch card, which means, we follow a sketch of a layout that someone has put together, and we create a card following that sketch. 




Here's what you will need to make this simple card:

  • 1/2" x 3-1/4" Mossy Meadow Green
  • 1/2" x 3" Basic White
  • Mossy Meadow Classic Stamp Pad
  • Real Red Ribbon
  • Stampin' Seal
  • Stampin Dimensionals
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Paper Trimmer

Step One: Cut out all the pieces of cardstock that you will need,
Step Two: Stamp your sentiment on the Basic White strip and any message you might wish to put inside your card.
Step Three:  Using the Stampin' Seal, glue the Top Layer onto your Base Card and the strip of Mossy Meadow on the center of your card.
Step Four: With Stampin Dimensionals, Adhere your Basic White strip on top of the Mossy Meadow.

Love Is in the Air

Are you all for simple and pretty?  I am.  I love making fancy cards, but there is something about the simple, elegant, "awww" kind of card that does my heart good!  Today is an example of just that.  I didn't show this in the video, but I added Wink of Stella to the top of my card, because the Polished Pink Cardstock doesn't have that shimmer in it.  Adding the Wink of Stella gave that look.   Here's what you'll need:


  • Base Card: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" I used Shimmery White Cardstock
  • Top Layer: 5-1/4" X 4" I used Polished Pink Cardstock, 2021-2023 In Color
  • Framed Florets Bundle
  • Decorative Borders Stamp Set
  • Scrap pieces of the Shimmery White Paper
  • Polished Pink Ribbon
  • Memento Tuxedo Black Stamp Pad
  • Blending Pens: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Polished Pink
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Stampin' Seal
  • Wink of Stella
  • Bone Folder
  • Take Your Pick Tool
  • Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine
  • Paper Trimmer

Step One:  Cut all your paper pieces with your paper trimmer, and die cut your frame, using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine

Step Two: Stamp your sentiment on the center, right side of the inside of your frame. Next stamp your images on your scrap pieces, color them, and then cut them out.

Step Three: With the Stampin' Seal glue your one decorative border to the inside of your card.  With the Stampin Dimensionals adhere your top layer to your card and your other decorative border to the left of the frame of your top layer.

Step Four: Add a bow and/or other embellishments to make your card look nice.  This is where I added the Wink of Stella.
