Sweet Treats for Sparkles Monthly

Birthday, Food and/or Drink items, Ocassions, Simon Says Stamp

Hello friends!  I hope that you’re having a great week!  Do you have any up-coming plans this weekend?  I think I’m going to catch up on some craft things because it’s going to be a bit cooler and rainy over my way.  The flowers are starting to come out and some of the daffodils have bloomed…so I hope the weather holds!

Today begins a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly and Helen would like to see some “Sweet Treats” this month!  I always think of birthday cards with this theme, so I thought I’d get ahead and make another birthday card to add to my stash especially since my son’s birthday was yesterday!  So here’s my card for this challenge:

YUM!  I’ve used the Simon Says Stamp Sundae Afternoons set and had lots of fun coloring up this image, and as I did, I was thinking of all of the different flavors of ice cream and toppings!

I realized that I needed a background and a surface for the sundae to be placed on, so I created a background with a cutting plate and sponged over the area where I was placing the sundae image.  I also took a strip the same size and sponged the top area where the sundae would set on and then cut both pieces out with a stitched rectangle die.  I also used some fun polka-dotted papers from my stash and added another stitched rectangle piece behind it before placing in on an A2 top folding white card base.  The die cut background front panel was popped up with foam tape.

For finishing it off, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom from the stamp set, added some shimmer with a glitter brush pen over the whip cream on top and the fruit slice.  I took some glossy accents over the cherries, toppings and jellybeans.  I also added a few clear bubble drops to the background.

This was a really fun card to create and now I have a birthday card ready for someone!  I hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and have been inspired to join the challenge with us this month as I’d love to see what everyone comes up with!

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy your weekend ahead!

  1. I just love how you colored this yummy looking frosty treat. The sparkle and shine just brought all those delicious flavors to life, especially the toppings on each scoop of ice cream. The shaded die-cut background is just perfect along with those fun polka dot papers. You’ve created a fun birthday card that is sure to make anyone smile. Enjoy your weekend and a happy belated birthday to your son also!
