Stray Ducklings Calendar of Cards - March

Our March Calendar of Cards entry was designed by Kelly Irish. Kelly used the Cool Treats stamp set along with Tasty Treats DSP

Annnnnndddd.....This cute card has a bonus - it's a gift card holder!

Birthday Swaps

Here are more swaps from our Stray Duckling's meeting. Today I'm sharing the birthday cards.  Lori Helvick made this cute card card with the Cool Treats Bundle. You can visit her blog here.

The next card was made by Christine Thomas. Christine used the set Balloon Adventures.

 

Our next card was made by Laura Roethle using Cake Crazy. I love all the layers with it. Didn't she do a great job?

If you'd like any of these stamp sets, I'd be happy to order them for you. Please contact me :)

Cool Treats

This is the second card we made in Saturday's class. Doesn't that fudge on the cone look like you could just take a bite out of it?! YUM!!!

We started with a Soft Sky base and layered a pieces of Chocolate Chip & Watermelon Wonder cardstocks on it. I added a strip of the Tasty Treats DSP along the left side of the Watermelon Wonder. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Cool Treats bundle and layered it on a piece of Soft Sky cardstock after cutting it out with the layered oval framelits. I die cut the ice cream cone from the Cool Treats bundle on a piece of Sahara Sand and Peek-A-Boo Peach cardstocks. I added an Enamel Embellishment under the sentiment.

                                    

The best part, imho, is the shiny chocolate coating on the cone. I created that effect by adding some glossy accents to the chocolate. Yum, yum, YUMMY!

And of course we have to have some stamping inside the card and on the envelope ;)

I hope you've enjoyed today's card. We sure had fun making it! If you live close to the Princeton, IL or Peru, IL area and would like to join us for a class. Please contact me! If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demo (no matter where you live ) I'd be happy to be your demonstrator!

Have a stamp-happy Monday! :)
