Mixed Media Ice Cream for Catherine Pooler Designs

Hey friends, I'm back sharing another card for Catherine Pooler Designs, featuring the new Better With Sprinkles collection and new Boardwalk ink!  I had so much fun creating this mixed media card using stamping, watercoloring techniques and paint splatters. Scroll down for creative details. You'll find my clickable supply list at the end of this post.

My stamping features the "Another Trip Around the Sun-dae" stamp set and the "Birthday One-Liners" stamp set.

I'm also using a variety of CPD inks:

Boardwalk, Party Dress, Blue Raspberry, Icing on the Cake, Pistachio, Honeycomb, Samba and lastly, Cargo for my stamped sentiments.

Because I'm watercoloring, I like to used white mixed media cardstock. The ink just flows better, in my opinion. I started by using my low tack mint tape offsetting it approximately 1/2" off all sides of my card. 

Within that space, I then began stamping randomly with an acrylic block, starting with all my cones, then all my ice cream and finally, filling in some of the gaps with the cherries.

With the tape still adhered, I watercolored all the empty space with the Boardwalk ink. Make sure your tape is secure all the way around so you don't get any bleeding under the edges. If you do get a little bit, no worries, simply use a white gel pen to touch it up. 

To watercolor, simply press your ink pad onto a craft mat, spritz with water, then use a waterbrush to distribute the color. If you don't have a craft mat, you can even use plastic wrap or an acrylic sheet.

Next, I heat set my watercoloring with my heat craft tool and splattered some diluted white paint with a damp paintbrush, concentrating some of the splatters on the ice cream scoops, as well.

 

After stamping my sentiments and trimming the cardstock into strips, I used the Boardwalk ink to line the edges of my sentiments, then popped them up on adhesive foam strips and adhered my card panel to an 

                       A2 size top fold scored card that I made with my CPD white cardstock.

It really is a rather quick card to make, once you get in the groove. I hope you'll give this a try!

Ice Cream Cards for Catherine Pooler Designs

The new Better With Sprinkles collection from Catherine Pooler Designs is now live! I love, love, love making ice cream cards so I was super excited for this release. It's perfect for summer cardmaking! Let me also say, I truly believe that cards can tell stories and I definitely had a story in mind for this first card. Want to hear it? Alrighty then! So here it is...it's my bestie's birthday and it's my treat. We're headed to Payne's Soda Fountain in Scottsboro, AL. It's a gorgeous summer day, the skies are so blue and we've got a window seat. And of course, sprinkles! Payne's Soda Fountain is a real place. A retro old fashioned diner that's been there for years and has so much incredible nostalgia. Our family went there last summer to visit. Highly recommend if you're ever passing through!

Now, let's get on with it. Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable supply list at the end, as well!

But first, Boardwalk ink makes it's debut, as well as a new Shimmer called Oh Boy. The card above features the new Shimmer, and Boardwalk ink makes an appearance on my second card further down.

If you follow me on Instagram, maybe you caught my ink smooshed panel in my stories that features the Oh Boy Shimmer. I did my smooshing on white mixed media cardstock and when you move and turn the panel, you can see such gorgeous shine.

I ended up using a portion of that card panel for this card. But what I'm really excited about is the Birthday One Liner stamp set! My first thought, when I received that stamp set, was to create a frame of sentiments to offset my center focal piece. I absolutely love how it turned out. I was also thinking of my bestie the entire time I worked on this card!

A stamp positioner is key in creating this sentiment framing. I kept picking and choosing various sentiments that would line up and look fairly even all the way around. 

This card only features 3 colors as I was going for a minimal contrast of colors. I used Icing on the Cake ink for my stamped images, sentiments and also for the stenciling with the Check This Layered stencil set.

For that pop of pink cherry, I used Party Dress ink with some white gel pen embellishment.

I also trimmed some of my CPD Over Coffee cardstock as the backing to my sentiment panel and also as the backing for my ink smooshed trimmed panel. I also dredged Icing on the Cake ink across all edges of my stenciled check border.

Last but not least, I did some watercoloring on my stamped ice cream dish with more Icing on the Cake ink and a waterbrush.

The full dimension of this card is 4.50 x 5.50 inches.

 

Both of my cards feature the Another Trip Around The Sun-dae stamp set, but my card above also features the coordinating dies.

When I created this card, I did not have the new patterned papers included in the Better With Sprinkles collection, so I went through my stash of CPD paper collections and came across this pretty striped paper from the Arnold's Drive-In paper pack. Alas, I'm not finding it on the site so it must be retired. 

I simply trimmed that patterned paper at various angles. You could recreate something similar using the CPD Shea Butter cardstock which is available separately and also in the Spa Cardstock collection.

I also trimmed some green and blue cardstock from my Party Cardstock collection and adhered all my papers on top of a white top fold card.

Next, I swiped some Boardwalk ink on white cardstock and stamped the ice cream images directly on white cardstock using these inks:

Icing On The Cake, Honeycomb and Pistachio 

I used the Around the Loop Nesting dies to die cut some ovals for both my stamped ice cream and a larger die cut for my swiped Boardwalk ink.

The finishing touches are a stamped sentiment using Cargo ink, and lots of enamel dots from the blues and oranges collections. I went with the lightest colors from those sets, as I was going for an overall pastel feel for this card.

And that's a wrap folks! I'll have another card to share with you very soon. Tap any of the product links below for more information, or to simply browse or shop. Let me know if you have any questions, in the comment section.

Thanks so much, have a fantastic day!

Terri
