You’re a Cool Treat Birthday Card!
The Cool Treats Bundle makes for a quick You’re a Cool Treat Birthday Card on the blog today! This card is for my son to bring with him to a birthday party on Saturday. His favorite snack is ice cream so I thought it would be fun for him to share his favorite thing with one of his favorite friends. I love combining the deep color of Early Espresso to the coordinating DSP colors of Peekaboo Peach, Pool Party and Watermelon Wonder. I think the mixture of these colors together are just yummy!
Card Details:
- Card Base: As with most of my creations, I start with Thick Whisper White Cardstock cut to 5.5 in. x 11 in. and scored / folded at 5.5 in. to make a square card.
- A strip of the Striped Watermelon Wonder DSP from the Tasty Treats Specialty DSP (currently marked down to $7.80, a steal!) was cut to 2 in x 5.5 in and then another strip of the specialty paper (has a clear glossy coating over the ice cream treats) was cut to 5.5 in x 2 treats wide and adhered to the striped DSP with Dimensionals.
- The treats from the Cool Treats Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped the in the following colors (from left to right): 1) Peackaboo Peach, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 2) Pool Party, Early Espresso. 3). Watermelon Wonder, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. After each individual piece was stamped, it was then cropped using the Big Shot and the coordinating dies from the Frozen Treats Framelits.
- The Sentiments, from the Cool Treats Stamp Set as well, were all stamped in Early Espresso. The “COOL” was also stamped in Pool Party to give it a doubled up look, cut out and flagged with the Banner Triple Punch and then adhered to the top of the treats with Dimensionals.
- The coordinating envelope (shown at the bottom) was created with the same DSP used on the card and the Envelope Punch Board.
Here is a close-up look of the “COOL” with the two different colors of ink. It pairs perfectly with the treat nestled behind it.
If you like what you see, I recommend getting them ordered as soon as you can. The embellishments and DSP are discounted and available until May 31st or while supplies last.
The Cool Treats Bundle is available at 10% off until May 31st. They are also available in the New Annual Catalog, just not at a discounted price.
