Gretchen Barron: It's Mouthwatering!

Hello everyone! Look at this fun card I have for you today ... another using some of the fabulous new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog!

For this fun card I've used Sweet Shop Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Mouthwatering and Sweet Cake Stamp Sets, The Fashionable Hearts Embosslet (along with the Big Shot), Jelly Bean Brads, a Designer Button, Pleated Satin Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details and Stampin Dimensionals!

I applied ink from Stampin' Write Markers directly on the rubber to stamp the Ice Cream Cone (yum) and used the Dazzling Details glitter for the cherry on top! Don't you just love this adorable Sweet Shop DSP -- too, too cute!

Time Saving Tip:Here's a little tip when working with the New Fashionable Hearts Embosslet or any Embosslet that has tiny little shapes (like Beautiful Wings or Sweet Buttons)! Sometimes it's difficult to tell on this little pieces which side is the embossed side and which size is the debossed size. And even when you can tell, these little pieces have a way of getting away from you, making it difficult to put adhesive on them. If you're planning on using Stampin' Dimensionals anyway, put the foam adhesive on the back of each tiny die cut BEFORE you punch them out of the cardstock. This way, there is no question about which side is which and when you store them in a tiny container, they are ready to use quickly on any project which calls their name! Cool, eh?

That will do it for today. It's time for my nap -- LOL (only partially kidding). Again, thank you for all your messages, well wishes, cards and notes -- each one means so much to me as I continue to heal and get stronger each day! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll come back soon for more ideas and inspiration!
