3 x 3 Thursday: Cool Treats

Cool Treats3x3A cute and fun little card for a hot summer day….oh, wait….it’s a cool spring day!  Whatever….it’s a cute little card perfect to include with a gift, stick in a lunch box for a special someone, hide in a desk….you get the picture!

This little card was made using the Cool Treats stamp set and the COORDINATING Frozen Treats Framelits.  The good news is that both of these items will be in the new, upcoming 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  The bad news is that you won’t get to purchase them in a bundle and save 10%.  The other bad news is that you won’t be able to purchase the Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper in the new catalog either.  But more good news…The Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper is still available (as of this writing) so if you want it….get it now!

Looking at this little ice cream cone is actually making me want one.  The Peekaboo Peach stamped ice cream is looking a lot like Orange Sherbet to me!  Yum!  What color/flavor would you stamp your ice cream?

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make it Mine Monday: Cool Treats

Cool Treats.0217How about a birthday card for Make It Mine Monday?  My March is filled with birthdays.  Today is my favorite pastor’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Pastor DJ!  As you can tell from the picture below, DJ is young….he’s not even 40!  He’s a great and inspirational speaker and a lot of fun to be around.  The big joke between us is hugs.  DJ is not a hugger yet every time I see him I 20170305_074926 (2)give him a hug….he tries to run away.  I secretly think he really loves hugs!  Ha!

I’m kind of sad though because Pastor DJ is leaving our church.  He and his family (his wife Jen is a hoot and I love her as much as I love DJ) are heading to a church in Houston, TX.  It’s definitely a big loss for us and a big gain for the congregation in Houston.

But back to the card!  This fun card that I made for the Card Buffet class last week was copied from the talented Dawn 16828e267156bc02b79d25857c185d87Olchefske.  As you can see, I kept the same basic design and colors but I changed the card orientation and added a couple of layers.  I just love getting inspiration from others.  Thanks Dawn!

Later this week I’ll share the actual card that I made for Pastor DJ as well as the card I made for my niece for her Sweet 16th!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
