Sweet treats using the Share A Milkshake stamps & dies

 Hello & welcome to my blog,

My name is Alison & I live in beautiful Melbourne, Australia. For those of you who have previously visited my blog & are now returning, thank you. For those of you who are here for the first time, welcome!

 Here's a little bit about me. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies, embossing folders, projects & sometimes special DSP and Wednesday evenings when I highlight a technique, fun folds or tools & tips. I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or suggestions & my email address for that is craftedbyalison@gmail.com.

Today's creations will leave you craving some sweet treats! There are ice creams, sundaes & milkshakes on offer with my latest creations. 


How yummy does this card look!!! It reminds me of an American soda shop. 😍
This was created using Starry Sky for the base & centre matte & Celebrate Everything DSP. I used 2 different sizes of the Deckled Rectangles dies for a little point of interest for the mattes. The milkshake is stamped in Balmy Blue - 1st stamping for the outline & 2nd stamping for the filler. The frothy bubbles is stamped in Lemon Lolly & the straw is Poppy Parade. Did you notice that the straw is poking into the froth? That little slit is cut with the die. Cool! I wanted a vibrant sundae so chose Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly & Polished Pink for the ice creams with a Real Red cherry on top. The bowl is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green. For a little bit of pop I heat embossed the sentiment.  The dies To finish off I added a few 2022-24 In Colour Pearls. The teeny little spoon is stamped in Smoky Slate & I tucked it into the edge of the bottom scoop of ice cream. Mmmmm, ice cream! 🤤🍨


For my second card I decided to create a fun fold or a tri fold to be exact. I started with Granny Apple Green for the base & matched it up with some Bright & Beautiful DSP for the matting. The ice cream cone was created with a die from the bundle & Crumb Cake cardstock which I added some Pecan Pie blending to. The lattice behind it is also diecut using the dies with some Pecan Pie cardstock. I chose just the one 'flavour' inside the cone - Lemon Lolly & topped it off with a Poppy Parade cherry to match the sentiment inside. The enamel dots are some of the last of my 2020-22 In Colour dots. I stamped the sentiment in Pecan Pie directly onto the DSP.

 

I used the Deckled Circles dies for the Granny Apple Green matte & stamped the sentiment & matching cherries inside in Poppy Parade. The stem of the cherries was drawn freehand with the Garden Green Stampin' Write marker.

I love how they turned out & will definitely be creating more with this bundle.
That's it for the cards, now for the latest news from Stampin' Up®.

Stampin' Up® has a number of ways to purchase their lovely products. You can look through their physical catalogue or browse through the Annual catalogue online  but there are also some products that are only available exclusively online that don't appear in any catalogues. These products are called the Online Exclusives & are only online. Check out the online exclusives in my online store. Stampin' Up® adds more product items to the online shop so don't forget to keep checking the store to see what's new. There are some lovely new products now available including kits, embellishments, stamps, dies & embossing folders. Something for everyone! If you would like a copy of the catalogue please send me a message at craftedbyalison@gmail.com or on my Facebook page, craftedbyalison. 

NEWS & REMINDERS: 

  1. Stampin' Up®'s Mini Catalogue & Annual Catalogue runs until the end of April & there are lots of lovely things that will be retiring soon. I am able to access the digital copy of the catalogue & it's very different to any other catalogue that I've seen from Stampin' Up®! They have changed the front cover from featuring cards or supplies to a casual stamping picture as well as a radical change to the layout of the contents. There are still lots of beautiful pics of the products & ideas aplenty, it's just set out differently. I think you'll love it. If you would like a copy of the new catalogue which launches on May 1st, then send me a message at craftedbyalison on Facebook or email me at craftedbyalison@gmail.com & I'll send you one. 
  2. Don't forget the Online Exclusive products with new products added and available now Check out my online shop here. 
  3. Stampin' Up® have a great range of Kits including crafting, card making & gift giving. Click here to check them all out in my online shop. As Stampin' Up® have so many beautiful kits available I will be featuring a different kit in each blog so that you can see the range. 
This week's kit is a delicate, romantic kit that features all you need to stamp & create 9 beautiful cards. It's called Sentimental Rose & includes ink, stamps, embellishments & matching envelopes. If you like soft, pretty cards then this is the one for you.


If you think you need this kit in your craft room, then here is a link to my shop.

A lot of demonstrators use the special Host Code for their customers but I'm trying it this year as a new idea to see if this is what you, my customers would like to use. If you shop with me then don't forget to use this month's host code FPEXGVDF. This will allow me to pass on any hostess benefits to customers when the sales reach the required qualifying amount.

The new Annual catalogue will be launched on May 1st which means that the current Annual catalogue along with the Jan-April mini catalogue will both retire.

Lastly, there have been lots of new items added to the clearance rack so make sure you check them out using the link above to my online store.

If you would like to purchase any of my creations that I feature in my blogs they can be found in my FaceBook shop at craftedbyalison or you can order something unique. 

If you would like me to send you a copy of the current Annual catalogue or the new one when it's released then please message me via my FaceBook page, Crafted by Alison or send me an email at craftedbyalison@gmail.com.

My next blog is on Wednesday & will feature a fun fold for you to try. I love creating with fun folds & can't wait to show you what I've created.. In Sunday's blog I will have some lovely creations made with a double embossing folder pack called Stripes & Splatters. I hope you can join me for both of them.

Well, that's it for another week. I hope you enjoyed this post & come back for more next week. Til next time, take care & keep creating! XX Alison.
