'Artfully Stepped Up' - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop | Denita Wright

I just love a Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop and for the first Sunday in September, that's exactly what's in store.

You may have joined me from the incredible Elizabeth, or started with me? Hop along and be inspired by our team and our theme - 'Artfully Stepped Up'.

I have used the 'Sweet Ice Cream' stamp set & coordinating 'Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch'.

Stamps & Punches are a perfect start for a Beginner stamper, and you can see my 'Beginner' and 'Avid' creations below....

'Basic White' card base

'Pattern Party Designer Series Paper' 3.5cm x 14.8cm or 1-3/8" x 5-1/2"

Punched ice cream scoops; 'Blushing Bride', 'Soft Sea Foam' & 'Petal Pink'

Punched ice cream cone; 'Crumb Cake'

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad

Triple Scoop Ice Cream Cone

• Adhere the strip of DSP to the card base.

• Stamp the sentiment onto the card front.

• Punch the ice cream scoops & cone

• Adhere the ice cream scoops to the cone, then adhere to the card front.

As you can see, I have 'Zhuzhed' up my second card to next level!

Lots of detail, and added extras, to step up my first creation.

We always need a Flake chocolate in our ice cream, and thanks to Mikaela for her little bit of extra chocolate with my Strawberry ice cream.

My bow was inspired by Artisan Design Team member Tammy Wilson - and my bow looks nothing like a Tammy bow!

Ink pads: 'Blushing Bride', 'Flirty Flamingo', 'Crumb Cake' & 'Soft Suede'

I'm not an over the top kinda girl, and I really loved making my triple scooped card.
