Sweet Scoops and Summer Mini Recap

My sister-in-law was kind enough to host a "Sweet Tweet" workshop with me.

Sister-in-law is in the red.
She loves candy and birds and thought, why not combine the two for one fun afternoon. (And that is exactly what we did!) Here is one project that we did using the Sweet Scoops stamp set. (I'll show you the other project tomorrow.) Just like the ice cream parlor, you can get as many flavors you want with this set using our delectable colors.


 This note card holder is made from Stampin' Up!'s small open-ended envelope.
  1. Lick the flap of the envelope and close.
  2. Trim a sliver off the top of the envelope.

     3.  Fold in half.


     4.  Using the 3/4" punch, cut out a half circle from each inside half of the envelope.

The picture looks like its punched on both layers of the envelope but is only on the inside layer of the envelope.

     5.  Decorate your  cover and add the ribbon for your closure.



These are the darling treats waiting inside.



And although I didn't get a picture of it, which I really regret, I loved the final product from one guest. She stamped her sccop of ice cream a little lopsided. So instead of redoing it, she improvised... drew some drops of ice cream and made it look like it was melting. So creative and by far my favorite that night!!


Unfortunately, this set will vanish at the stroke of midnight. As well with the rest of the summer mini catalog items.










So here is a recap of some of the Summer Mini Catalog before they are gone, gone, gone!

Blissful Bride

Here's another pretty set from the Summer Mini Catalog, Blissful Bride.


I love the colors of Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso together. Its warm and delightful! But I felt that it needed another punch of color, so I went to my handy, dandy Color Coach and found Cherry Cobbler. And I know that I was going to show you some more watercoloring but it just didn't turn out as I had hoped so here it is in its simple form. But I think that's what makes this sophisticated. Then for some added umph, I added the pearls as the buttons for the dress.


And finally . . . my "go to greetings", I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes set to complete the card. Simple, clean, and beautiful!
