My Cup Runneth Over: Surprise Guest at Seize The Birthday

It's time for a FUN new challenge over at Seize The Birthday, and I've been invited to be the Surprise Guest for July and August. The optional "Topping" for this challenge is Food/Drink, but you can share any Birthday card in the challenges at Seize The Birthday. The Design Team and I are excited to see what you'll create to share in this FUN new challenge.

I used a light tan cardstock for my card base. I topped that with three different patterned papers from the Emma's Shoppe line by Crate Paper. I cut the layers with a Tim Holtz Postage Die Set. I machine stitched my first layer. All the ephemera and stickers are also from this Crate Paper line. The darling ice cream cones and sentiments are from an older Stampin' Up stamp set called Sweet Ice Cream.

I stamped the scoops of ice cream and raised them with White 3-D Foam Tabs for dimension. I tucked in a ticket (a super old stash item) that I stamped with another sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set. A Tim Holtz miniature paper clip was the finishing touch. I just LOVE all the sweet layers of paper and yummy colors. Almost cute enough to eat. lol

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card today. I really do hope that you'll stop by Seize The Birthday to play along. It's always more FUN when everyone can join in on the challenge, and we really do enjoy seeing your creativity. We all need to make more Birthday cards, so why not whip up something to share in this challenge. Happy crafting.

I'll be playing along in these FUN challenges:

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - July: Happy Birthday - This card uses a super old (retired) Stampin' Up set called Sweet Ice Cream. I'm not precisely sure how old it is, but it's definitely a minimum of five years old.

AAA Birthday Challenge Blog - Challenge Game #75 - Summer Birthdays - We love eating Ice Cream all year long, but most especially at Summer Birthdays.
