Below is a list of products that I used to create this card:
Sweet Scopes Decorative Die Set
Joyful Alphabet with Numbers Decorative Die Set
Thank You Sentiments II Decorative Die Set
Magical 6″ x 8″ Patterned Cardstock Paper Pad

Various colored cardstock scraps from my stash
I wanted to share a couple tips for bringing this card together, that I also hope helps you during your next creation!
First, I always stress to ink blend your die cuts whenever appropriate. This will add so much dimension to those dies, and will really help give them a finished edge. Even if you are going for a very light color, I still recommend it. For example, I was going for a vanilla ice cream scoop. I took a scrap of white cardstock from my stash, die cut the ice cream scoop shape, and then distressed the bottom portion with Buttercream ink to give it that slightly cream color!
Next, when in doubt with your sentiment, its always nice to have a couple different alphabet die sets on hand to customize your own! Scrapbook.com alone has so many different alphabet die set sizes and styles, and I was able to use the Joyful Alphabet with Numbers Decorative Die Set set to add on the “PAL” sentiment! It fit perfectly!
Finally, that little bow that’s on top of my ice cream cone? That was part of one of the printed designs included in the Magical 6″ x 8″ Patterned Cardstock Paper Pad! I fussy cut the bow out, and then popped it onto my ice cream cone with some foam tape so that it gave some dimension to my project!
Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog to check out my mousey ice cream creation! I hope this card leaves you inspired to create your very own magical project using some new products by Scrapbook.com!
