Price: $19.95
This crimper makes it easy to add dimension and texture to any project you’re stamping. Just hold the crimper in one hand, feed the end of the paper into the rollers, and turn the key. It takes paper up to 6-1/2″ wide—enough for the largest card! It can crimp On Board chipboard, too.

■ Metal and plastic construction
■ Comfort-molded handle and turnkey
■ Requires very little hand pressure

This oldie but goody is a must have! Sometimes it is easy to forget about these old standby’s when there are so many new crafting tools coming out on the market! This handy little tool was used on stamped ice cream to make it look like it was wavy just like a real soft serve ice cream! To check it out – click on the title to this post!

Sweet Scoops Friend

Posted on by darlaso

I love this card! It’s a little hard to see in the photo…but the ice cream shimmers! We used Smooch to make it shimmer! Next week I will show you how we used the wheel to get Dear Friend. Sweet Friend as the sentiment. The color combo is Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, and Soft Suede. We made this card in my Sweet Scoops class this month.

Sweet Scoops Celebration

Posted on by darlaso

Isn’t this just a brilliant idea! I got this idea from a swap at the regional in April. I used the Island Oasis Designer Series Background Paper and Scallop Edge Punch to create the awning for the ice cream shop look. The color combo is taken from the background paper; So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive. This cone reminds me of the YUMMY pineapple ice cream cone I had in Oahu at the Dole Plantation. Yum! We made this card at my Sweet Scoops class this month.

Sweet Scoops Birthday

Posted on by darlaso

I am so sad to see Bordering Blue retire! It was one of my favorite colors to put with Not Quite Navy! It gives a nice clean masculine feel to this card made with the Sweet Scoops stamp set from the new summer mini catalog. I chose the scalloped Bitty Button to go with the scallops…but if it seems too feminine to you, the  plain round Bitty Button will work well too. We made this card in my Sweet Scoops class this month. The other colors used are So Saffron, More Mustard, and Soft Suede.

Vintage Vogue Bird

Posted on by darlaso

I get together with a group of friends once a month to stamp (except for a few months during the summer) and a month or so ago…this is one of the cards we made! We used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch. It’s nice making cards that somebody else designs once in awhile! LOL!

Awash With Flowers Window Pane

Posted on by darlaso

What a cute idea for this Awash With Flowers stamp set! I especially like how fellow demo, Shari Olson, cut out the flower in the middle and layered it on top giving it extra dimension! This was another card from my SUDSOL swap!
