Celebration

 My Great niece is turning 13 soon and when I saw the challenge over at the Time out challenge blog I decided to make a card for her celebrating the start of her teen years!

I saw the card HERE on Pinterest a few years ago and finally gave it a try :)

I found the paper I used for the cone in my scraps pile, just perfect I thought, I used a triangle die to cut it out, then I used a cloud punch for the ice cream.  I had a few of these little pieces left over from other projects that I used for the sprinkles on top of the ice cream.  I wish I would have thought to stamp the confetti on the background piece before gluing the ice cream cone down but I just felt it was too bare.


  • X-cut - Bunting nesting die for the cone
  • Fiskars - Cloud punch, ice cream
  • Spellbinders - Labels 29 and lacey circles die
  • Echo Park - Fine and dandy background paper
  • Gemini - Torn edge circle die
  • Hero Arts - It's your day sentiment stamp
  • Spellbinders - Special Birthday stamp set, Confetti


Thanks so much for taking the time out to stop by today,

Connie
