Create With Stampin' Up!s Share a Milkshake Stamp Set to Make the Sweetest and Most Delicious Gate Fun Fold Card with a Mega Belly Band

 I am having such fun creating with the Share a Milkshake Bundle. Today's creative idea for you is a Gate Fun Fold Card with Mega Belly Band!

The secret to making a Belly Band is to not wrap the cardstock band around the card too tightly. You want it to be snug, but still able to slip easily without having to bend the cardbase too much. With today's card there is about an 1/8" gap between the ends of my belly band that the large die cut elongated hexagon covers quite nicely.

The Share a Milkshake Bundle includes the Photopolymer stamp set and matching dies of the same name.

Let's make this fun fold!

Start with the following:

Bubble Bath cardstock - cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"

Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper (DSP) - 2 pieces of Berry Burst cut 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"

Belly Band of Berry Burst cardstock - 1" x 8 1/2", score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"

For the Inner Card Layer to write your personal message wishing the recipient a Happy Birthday:

Basic White cardstock inner layer cut 4" x 5 1/4"

Stamp Happy Birthday greeting from Best Family Ever in Berry Burst ink.

Stamp dish of ice cream in lower right hand corner using ink in Gray Granite, 

 Berry Burst, and Bubble Bath. Stamp the bowl first in Gray Granite. Add the Decorative design stamp in Berry Burst. Finish with the ice cream mound in Bubble Bath.

On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the spoon image in Gray Granite and die cut out 

using the Share a Milkshake Dies. Adhere as shown.

Adhere inner layer inside cardbase.

Cut a Bubble Bath cardstock piece 2 1/2" x 5 1/2", then die cut out with 2nd to the largest elongated hexagon from the Nested Essentials Dies.

Wrap Belly Band around card so the ends will hide under the Bubble Bath hexagon, adhere with Stampin' Seal adhesive.

Preparing the pieces for the complete milkshake next:

Start with Basic White piece cut at 1 1/2" x 2 3/4". Then stamp in Gray Granite ink only the decorative portion of the glass. Then die cut out the glass.

Cut piece of  Bubble Bath color - Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper 1 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Cut piece of  Berry Burst color - Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper 1 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Then die cut out the two scoops.

For the Straws:

You will only stamp the diagonal lines image on a scrap of Basic White. Stamp once in Berry Burst ink and a second time with Gray Granite ink. Die cut out the straw. You will probably need a post it note or a piece of washi tape to hold the die in place as it is sooooo tiny.

Assembling the Milkshake:

Insert the two straws in the Bubble Bath scoop slit and secure with a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse. Then add the Berry Burst scoop and secure with a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse. Finally you will put the scoop/straw portion coming over the top of the glass, just a little bit, and secure with a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse. Finish with applying  multiple Mini Dimensionals.

For the Tag:

Basic White cardstock cut 3/4" x 4"

Stamp "Celebrate" in Berry Burst ink

Banners Pick a Punch - carefully punch pennant ends on both ends until desired length is achieved. May take 2-3 punches on each end to attain desired length of about 3".

Before the Milkshake is applied to the Belly Band, do the following:

8" Basic White Baker's Twine - color it with Dark Berry Burst Stampin' Blend Alcohol Maker while it lays flat on your grid paper. Roll it over lengthwise and color the other side. Use a kleenex to remove excess ink, then use heat gun to dry twine before tying the bow around the base of the milkshake glass.

To Finish:

Remove the backing from the mini dimensionals to raise up completed milkshake onto elongated hexagon shape.

Apply Celebrate tag with a mini dimensional at each end and Stampin' Seal in the middle.

Add 2 Bubble Bath colored embellishments from the Tinsel Gems 4 pack.

For a matching Envelope flap, cut a 2 3/8" x 6" piece of the matching Berry Burst Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper. Adhere to exterior flap and trim off excess. You are done!

Sit back and admire your creation for a bit!

You Can Make a Pretty Peacock Book Fun Fold Card Using Stampin' Up!s Share a Milkshake Stamp Set - Part 2

Here's the nitty gritty on the cutting and assembling of this cute Book Fun Fold Card.

A reminder of the two stamp sets used.

Card base - Pretty Peacock 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2"

Front Layer - Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper - Pretty Peacock

Narrow Piece - 1" x 4"

Square Piece - 4 1/4" square

Adhere together the 1 1/4" Binding portion of Fun Fold with adhesive.

Cut Inner Layer of Basic White Square Piece - 4" square.

Select greeting from Best Family Ever stamp set and stamp in Pretty Peacock Ink.

Adhere stamped Basic White layer inside of card.

From Left to Right around card base

Early Espresso cardstock  2" x 3", die cut burlap piece from Share a Milkshake Dies.

Pretty Peacock - Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper 3 1/2" square, die cut with largest Stylish Shapes Circle.

Basic White cardstock 1 3/4" x 3 1/4" for tag. Stamp greeting first in Pretty Peacock Ink, then die cut with second to the smallest Countryside Corners Die.

Pecan Pie sheet of Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper 2 1/2" square, 

and die cut with waffle cone die. 

On the front of the book fun fold, adhere the Pretty Peacock Shimmer Circle.

Then with liquid glue, lightly dot the Early Espresso "burlap" piece and 

adhere to Shimmer paper as shown.

Place Dimensionals on the back of the tag and adhere as shown.

With 3 scraps of Basic White cardstock 1 1/4" x 1 3/4", stamp your ice cream scoops in Crumb Cake ink, Pecan Pie ink, and Early Espresso ink. (The reason you see more scoops than are needed is I couldn't decide if I liked the scoops stamped on Crumb Cake or Basic White, but Basic White won out!)

With a very small scrap of Early Espresso cardstock, die cut the little blob of fudge sauce.

Fold waffle cone into the cone shape and adhere the front flap to close it only. 

You need the room inside to arrange the ice cream scoops.

With Linen Thread wrap it multiple times around the "binding" and tie a knot then a bow.

Assemble your ice cream scoops inside the cone as shown. I scotch taped mine together to hold them. When placing the Dimensionals you can secure any wobbly pieces.

Use mini and regular Dimensionals to raise up the finished cone on the card front.

3 Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins in Copper color. Affix as shown.

Finish with decorating your Basic White Medium Envelope flap.

 

Cut a 2 3/8" x 6" piece of Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper - Pretty Peacock.

Adhere envelope flap piece, then with paper snips, trim off excess. 

 You have made one "sweet" card to share with a loved one or friend!

As a bonus for you if you live in the USA - I have prepared a product shopping list at this LINK. You can uncheck any item on the list you already have, or say add all to the cart if you are a newer card maker.

You Can Make a Pretty Peacock Book Fun Fold Card Using Stampin' Up!s Share a Milkshake Stamp Set - Part 1

As a Foodie, I always love it when Stampin' Up! comes out with a food stamp set. There are so many possibilities for your cardmaking creations. Over the next week I'm going to share 3 projects that I hope will inspire you to give this set a try for yourself especially if you have a sweet tooth like I do. 

This food stamp set would be perfect for children's birthday party invitations, dessert buffet signage, or even tags for an ice cream toppings gift basket! So many possibilities!

The Share a Milkshake collection includes the photopolymer stamp set above for $19.00 and a set of 12 metal dies for $30.00. The Best Family Ever photopolymer stamp set costs $24.00. Both of these sets will be in my stamp room for a long time to come.

Here's the front of the Book Fold Fun Fold card  and matching envelope. The color scheme used was a new color - Pecan Pie; one returning color - Pretty Peacock; and two inks, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso, that have been in the Neutrals Collection for quite a while.

Here's the inside of the Book Fold Fun Fold card that uses the Best Family Ever stamp set for the inner greeting. I love that stamp set because you can mix and match so many of the stamps. I think they have included every relative possible that you could make a card for!

Here's a close up of the front. My intent was ice cream in the flavors of caramel, fudge brownie, and peanut butter, with some fudge sauce on top. The Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP)  in Pecan Pie lent itself well to the waffle cone die. You really can't see it in the photo, but the waffle cone die, put little ridges into the paper so it feels textured like a real waffle cone. 

Behind the cone is Pretty Peacock Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper that I haven't seen many demonstrators use yet. It was easy to cut on my die cutting machine. Also the glitter/shimmer didn't get all over the place like other brands do. Behind that layer was more of the Glorious Gingham DSP in Pretty Peacock. 

Return here to my blog tomorrow to get the cutting measurements and assembly instructions (and more photos)! I'll see you then!

However, if you love the Share a Milkshake stamp set  # 160394 for $19 and die set #160395 for $30, and Best Family Ever stamp set #160720 for $24, please order in my online store at the link below.
