I found these super cute ice cream cones with "ice cream" scented bubbles! How fun is that? I thought they would make a great treat for anyone. I packaged the in the popcorn container from the Artiste Cricut cartridge. I stamped the front decoration with the Ice Cream Dream stamp set and coloured with our ShinHan Twin Marker. I created a card with the stamp set to go with the bubbles!

The How To Book that I picked was Magic, and my layout is adapted from " Hat Trick" on page 55. I love the fact that a sketch is only a starting point. You can twist and turn them so one set of pages is never the same! I decided to reverse the sketch and turned one on it's side. My Coolin' Off layout also features the Taste of Summer paper pack- don't forget it is only available during the month of May!

Here are a few photos of the details-

Taste of Summer cards

Just stopping by to show you a super cute and quick project with the Taste of Summer paper. When my Mom got married the family had a shower where everyone left a recipe behind to start her collection. She still has some of the same recipes in her recipe basket. This little basket of love was the inspiration for my project today.

Here are a few details photos:

I started with a pile of recipe card and set to work. The cards are all distressed on the edge then I cut out some of the fruit for a little decoration. I love the way they turned out!

Enjoy! Chris

I decided to do something a little different for this project. I made a recipe box. It was created using a My Creation Journaling Card Box! I love how it came together! The "Yummy" on the front is stamped with the Framework Alphabet and coloured with the TwinTouch ShinHan markers.

Here are some of the details.

The lemon paper from the Taste of Summer paper pack was just perfect for this project. I cut the divider cards from the Artbooking Cricut Collection, in Gypsy and Canary, stamped with the Keyboard Uppercase, added a bit of Carnival and Boardwalk washi tape!
