Be Who You are Born to Be Card ~ Rick Adkins

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a fun little card to share with you using the Textures & Frames, In Your Words, and Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Sets. Two of the sets I used to create this card are part of Sale-A-Bration which ends in six days. So, this is your last chance to get your free Sale-a-bration items.

Check out my card using the Sweet Ice Cream, In Your Words, and Textures & Frames Stamp Sets.

I thought that the Texture's & Frames Stamp Set was a perfect pairing with the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set. Plus I really thought it was a fun little way to add some texture to the card and they could be different types of Ice Cream colors that fell from the ice cream cone. The Textures & Frames Stamp Set adds a hand-painted artistic touch to any of your paper projects. Your cards and tags can have that freshly painted look without the pesky smell of fumes and turpentine. You’ll have so much fun layering on splotches, circles, and brushstrokes. Use the circles and squares (which I didn't use on my card today) to frame your favorite stamped images and sentiments. Or stamp the images repeatedly to create backgrounds and texture.

Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set add sweetness to someone's day. The set includes ice cream cones, sprinkles, birthday greetings, sweet sentiments, and more, that will make everyone's heart melt. Perfect for thank you cards, birthday cards, and other paper crafts. This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want. I used Soft Succulent, Rich Razzleberry, and Mint Macaron for the colors of my ice cream today and the colors for the card. I did add in a little Soft Suede ink for the cone.

The In Your Words Host Stamp Set (which is where the sentiment for my card came from today) is a must-have for any papercrafting collection! The greetings in this compilation come directly from stamping experts—our demonstrators from around the globe. We asked and they told us: These are some of their most highly requested sentiments. And rightly so. These 10 all-occasion greetings, in a variety of styles and fonts, are perfect for handmade cards and gift tags. Grab this set today and the next time you need to say just the right thing, you'll have a stamp on hand that lets you say it beautifully.
