Hope Your Birthday Stacks Up!! (DS95)

Whew! I’m so sorry for the delay in getting my DS95 sample up and on my blog. I have a bought of bronchitis with a sinus infection and the two have knocked me on my backside. I’ve never had bronchitis before and wowee… I don’t enjoy it. 🙁 Thankfully my head has settled down a bit and I can post this for you. 🙂

For my card I used Build a Treat from Taylored Expressions along with the coordinating Build A Treat Tops and Bottoms dies. The first thing I did for this card was build the background from scraps from my MME Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky paper pad. This sketch is excellent for using up scraps and I’m all about that right now. I’ve got my eye on the new Doodlebug 6×6 pads and I can’t get them until I’ve used up some of my older stuff. Then I stamped the ice cream tops and cone on Choice Snow White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then die cut them with the matching dies and colored them with Copics. I added a little cherry on top that I die cut with the cherry from the Tiny Toppers Die set. Underneath that I die cut a bit of kraft and more Choice Snow White cardstock using Label Stacklets 1. I added a bit of pink twill ribbon and I was done!

And here’s a quick peek at the sketch I used:

That’s it for me today! I hope you have a wonderful Friday and a wonderful weekend!
