Welcome back! So many deadlines on Sunday, so here we go…
For Summer Fun, I am playing with TGIF (#431); Alphabet (Letter “I”); As You See It (#304); and choosing the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday (#616) sketch.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Tahitian Tide cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
- Cross Strips: (4⅛” x 1½”) Tahitian Tide Striped patterned piece of paper from the In-Color 2022/2024 Collection Designer Series Paper pack and (4⅛” x ½”) Blushing Bride Dotted patterned piece of paper from the Subtle 2022/2023 Collection Designer Series Paper pack scraps from my bin layered together.
- Shape – Circle: (2½”) Daffodil Delight cardstock die-cut with the Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
- Focal Image – Ice Cream Truck: Basic White cardstock and the retired Tasty Trucks stamp set.
- The Ice Cream Truck image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The Banner image, the Ice Cream Cone image and the sentiment, You’re the sweetest!, were added to the Truck also with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The Truck was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors selected: Light Tahitian Tide, Light Daffodil Delight and Light Flirty Flamingo. Additionally Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark Smoky Slate and a bit of retired Light Soft Sky.
- The Truck was fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch. The Truck was popped up with Dimensionals and a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Pink, Blue and Gold were added for a bit of bling.
What a fun summer themed greeting card!

Jolanda, very clever how you used the 3D EF on the debossed side to give your background that frozen ice feel! Great interpretation of our TSOT sketch!! Thank you for sharing your creativity once again with us!!! -Donna

I’m right with you Jolanda – there is something about the sound of the ice-cream truck that is so reminiscent of a summer’s day. Love your pastel colour scheme too! Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It this week!
