Ice Cream Cone Trio Cards - Simon Says Stamp Dream Big Release

Good morning! I'm popping in here today to share a couple more cards using some items from the recent Simon Says Stamp Dream Big Release. I had some time with my niece who loves making cards, and is super talented. We actually created these cards together - she picked all the ink colors, and did such a great job, don't you think? 


I hadn't had a chance yet to use the Scoop and Cone die from the release, and it paired up so fun with some juicy ink colors and the new Rhythmic 3D Embossing folder! I cut all the layers of the die from white cardstock, and then blended Pawsitively Saturate inks on each piece to create the layers.


For each cone on this first card, I used Cappuccino and Mocha for the cone layers, and then full trios of colors for the ice cream. First one was Morning, Twilight, and Galaxy; second cone was Cheeky, Blush, and Pucker; and final cone was Celery, Limelicious, and Pearfection. For both cards, I used the Rhythmic 3D embossing folder on dampened white cardstock (to get a better impression), then let it dry overnight under something to weight it down, before trimming to adhere to each card.


I used a Cream cardbase for a touch of contrast with the white embossed cardstock, but still leaving the colors nice and neutral. I also added sentiments from the Reverse Bold Birthday preprinted sentiments - so fun and easy!


For the second card, I used Latte and Cappuccino for the cone layers, and then full trios again for each of the ice cream scoops. First cone used Bubblegum, Sweets, and Taffy; second cone used Melon, Cantaloupe, and Sherbet; and final cone used Seafoam, Surf, and Ocean. Once I had all the layers adhered together, I also added a layer of Blizzard Nuvo Glitter drops for the perfect juicy sparkle on each one!


I used foam to pop up each of the cones and ice cream scoops, and then finished off with a few Pinkfresh Studio Glacier jewels for the perfect bit of sparkle! Which color combo is your favorite? I'd love to hear!
