It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! This week the talented Jaydee has a fabulous theme challenge for us: Summertime! To me, nothing screams summer like ICE CREAM! So I pulled out the Mouthwatering stamp set and some retired Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper and set about preparing my triple scoop mouthwatering delight! This paper version has zero calories! Enjoy!
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Fun colors! Summertime and fun colors go hand-in-hand. A Lucky Limade card base coupled with a Calypso Coral mat anchors a whimsical, multicolored pattern!
- Yummy for your tummy! Scoops of ice cream were created with Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Daffodil Delight inks, while the Soft Suede waffle cone was zipped through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Basic Pearls adorn the cone and Dazzling Diamonds add sparkle to the ice cream. The cherry-on-top receives its extra shine from Crystal Effects.
- A cute sentiment! What could be better for a fun sentiment than “just for fun” from the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. Banner snip one end and tuck it under a Pool Party Seam Binding Bow, and one sweet little sentiment is complete!
Isn’t that frame under the ice cream cone cute? I zipped Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot with an Apothecary Accents Framelit. Next, I traced around the outer edge of this same framelit on Calypso Coral card stock, and snipped it out. The two layer perfectly!
Ann to the Rescue!
Want to CASE this card, but you don’t have the retired Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper? Never fear! If you would like a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of the cute background paper and a strip of the Wisteria Wonder polka dot paper, just email me. I have enough to share with ten of you.
So what do you think of today’s summery fun card? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, you know that if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
(Just a note about Brody: We take him to the vet tomorrow morning, Monday. Instead of having one more bump checked out, he is having two checked out. We found another Saturday evening. Hopefully these two will just be fatty tumors or cysts. Of course, we will have them biopsied. I will definitely keep you informed. I am so appreciative of all of your emails. Your loving and kind thoughts are helping me through this difficult time…)
Hmm.. yummy ice creams layering! Love the glitters!
Now, this really says SUMMER! It’s making my mouth water! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
Ice cream…winter spring summer or fall …I’m there!! Cute card, hope your Brody is ok.
Praying Brody will be OK!
Your snipping is excellent. How is Brody doing?

Your card is so creative with the delightful ice cream cone! Looking forward to those hot days and cool treats.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and my fingers crossed as you take Brody to the vet…
Ann, I’m sorry to hear Brody is having some health issues. 🙁 My heart goes out to your family. I hope they are benign lumps.
Your ice cream card makes me think “Yes, I’ll take one of those triple scoops, please!”
Love the card and so craving an ice cream cone! Good luck with Brody and hope the Vet appt goes well.

My thoughts will be with you and Brody tomorrow! AND congratulations on selected to be part of the Freshly Made Sketches design team!!!! I knew you’d be a shoe in! 🙂
Oh, wow! I can almost taste this. I especially love the cone with the pearls. Very special card. I will continue to keep Brody in my thoughts and prayers, and all your family. I’m glad Brady is home with you all right now. I would love some ds papers if you have any left.Thanks!
This is adorable, Ann! I love this and the ice cream cone on the Apothecary framelit is genius! You may just sell me on that framelit set. Sending you good thoughts for tomorrow!
This is a sweet, delightful card! Love the ice cream cone with the glitter – go dazzling diamonds!
Praying for you and looking forward to hearing the results as soon as they are available. This is a hard time for us pet moms!
Woof – one short and to the point – woof! Guess who Brody (sigh)!?
What a fun, summery card! And lots of delightful (and yummy) details. Love it!
Hope Brody’s appointment goes well tomorrow. He’s in my thoughts and I’m hoping that the other two are just benign nothings!
Thinking of you all, including Brody and Muffie, today and tomorrow. We’ll all be anxiously awaiting your news–may it be the best possible. I thought of you all yesterday, as well, as I was rewatching Best of Show. Love that movie! Which stereotype are you? ;-)(I have friends who are dog show judges and say that it’s more accurate than one might believe.)
Love that card, and if you still have some of that paper to share, I’d love to have some.
SO sorry about Brody! I pray that there is nothing to be concerned about!
This is so cute, love all the details. Will keep my thoughts and prayers for you and Brody and hope they are benign.
What a super fun card Ann! Thanks for the Hot Tip btw!
Also Oh My Goodness poor Brody! I will definitely put you all in my prayers . God has a special place in his heart for animals and I know He is watching over him.
I love your blog. The stamped samples are terrific, but I truly enjoy keeping up-to-date on the dogs. Good luck with Brody tomorrow.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for cutie-patootie ice cream cards! This is a triple-scoop of summer fun, Ann! Sheesh, why did I never buy that paper?? Adorable!
You and Mr. Brody will be in my thoughts tomorrow! I hope that he has some good news. Please let me know how the vet visit goes, friend! Big hugs! 🙂
Sweet summertiume card for sure.
Was about to say’you make a card with no pearls’ then I spotted them on the cone. :}
Hope all goes well with Brody. Thoughts and prayers be with you.
Will be waiting on updates on how all turns out.

Too, too cute, Ann! I *love* the detail, and the coordinated DSP really highlights the ice cream cone focal point. The framelits provide the perfect backdrop for the cone. Very, very nice design!
My Shana and I are sending positive energy and prayers for a good outcome for Brody. Warm {{{hugs}}} and doggy kisses for both of you!
Refreshing! Love the details from the icy part to the pearls! Who would have thought of pearls and ice cream. I really like the polka dot paper with it. Gotta figure out what flavors those are now.
Wishing and praying for a good outcome tomorrow. Brody keep a stiff upper lip and give your mom and dad a big slurpy kiss for me and Dr. Rita! Bordy, tell your sister you need all the love and attention right now and that I said so.

Hope Brody’s news is good…then you can reward yourself with an ice cream cone just like this! YUMMO!
Ann, your card says summer, fun and happy. The pearls are a wonderful touch to the cone. Love the bright colours. I hope that everything will be ok with Brody. Hugs
Good morning Ann! I am so sorry to read abut Brody! Thinking of you!! Your card screams summer…who wouldn’t enjoy a triple scoop! Yum!
Very summery, love the card. I would love a snip of the papers. I will think of you and Brody tommorrow and hope its a good diagnosis. As an animal lover, we have cats, it can be very stressful at times. One of our cats, 13 yrs. old, is also undergoing treatment for prancreatis, but improving.
Love this fun card!
Prayers for Brody, too.
Ann I had to come back say CONGRATS for being chosen as DT member for FMS. I don’t know HOW you gals keep up with so many DT duties. I can hardly get my post done everyother week! I know you already know the DT, but Congrats they will LOVE having you. Hugs
Your card is just DARLING!!!!
Sending you lots of love and happy thoughts for Brody!
Ann what a cute card. I never would have thought to mix those DSPs but they look so FUN together. I love how you did the label and thanks so much for the tip. I would have been looking for two dies… I’ll have to save this for one my grandkids. hugs
Ann, this card is totally yummy! Love your cone with the special details of glitter and pearls. The background paper and bow complete the fun card.
All my best wishes for positive results tomorrow.
You, your family, and Brody are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for good news!
