Now although it’s still winter and cold out there, the Cool Treats feel summery. This was a set that we all got for free at the Onstage Local that I went to back in November but this is the first time I’ve inked it up. Somehow ice creams in November and December felt a little weird, but it’s perfectly okay in January. Maybe it’s because it was 60 degrees here in New Jersey yesterday. Go figure!

The Cool Treats stamp set is a 2 step and a photopolymer set so lining them up is a breeze. I used blushing bride and rose red stamped off once for the ice cream. For the adorable cone, I used delightful dijon stamped off once and I topped it with this awesome die cut (also in delightful dijon) from Frozen Treats. The sentiment (also from Cool Treats) is full strength rose red. I felt that there was a little something missing and that’s when I noticed the strawberry die cuts. Now these are really fun. I had three of them cut out quickly and then used the sponge dauber and multipurpose glue and silicone mat trick to glue them up without any excess splurging. A rose red card base finished the card off perfectly.

Happy Birthday to my sister, Caro. Could you pop over to her blog and say hello? Thanks.
