The Rabbit Hole Designs: Ice Cream

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to The Rabbit Hole Design blog. Who needs some ice cream? I do as it has been in the 90s in Illinois over the last week. I was inspired by the Scooped 3 Layers stencil. I was trying different way of layering the 3 stencils.

I chose three Distress Oxide inks - Ground Expresso, Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo - to stencil with. These colors remind me of Spumoni. I colored the full ice cream cone and then shifted the stencil slightly covering a portion of the first pattern for an overlap. I used the three colors to stencil the second layer, creating the dancing ice cream cones. I used this for the card background.

I took the Caffeinated Meerkat stamp set and stamped him on to a piece of coloring cardstock in black ink. I stamped the ice cream cone from the Taste Like Summer stamps set in brown ink. I drew a tongue on the meerkat and colored him with alcohol markers, I colored the ice cream with alcohol markers. I fussy cut the ice cream cone and then the meerkat, making sure to cut around the arm holding the coffee cup. This allows me to fit the ice cream cone behind his arm so it seams he is holding and licking the ice cream. The sentiment is from the Taste like Summer stamp set and stamped on kraft cardstock. I also cut an oval from cardstock to place behind the ice cream loving meerkat.

Hello my crafty friends! This has such a summer warm vibe to it. This fun shaker card is featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs' Taste Like Summer stamp set. I paired it up with the Corner Mandala stencil because it created such a whimsy likeness of the Sun.

I started by stamping the bunny image from the Taste Like Summer stamp set onto a piece of yellow cardstock with brown ink. The bunny is colored with colored pencils an so is the cone. I used a kraft knife to carefully cut the three ice cream scoop opening in the card. I positioned the Corner Mandala stencil on the top left hand corner of the yellow cardstock and masked of some of the stencil leaving only what looks like the sun and rays to stencil. I used Cracklin Campfire, Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink with the Cotton Tail Blending Brushes to create the sun.

I die cut some grass from green card stock and added it to the bottom portion of the card front. I die cut some grass from green card stock and added it to the bottom portion of the card front. I stamped the sentiment "life is short get the extra scoop" just above the grass on the left side of the card front. I turned the card over and attached a piece of clear acetate for the shaker window. I outlined the shaker window with The Rabbit Hole Designs' new Double Thick Crystal Clear Foam Tape - 5mm wide. This tape is clear, so you can see through it. You will not see any white foam at the edges of this card! I added my shaker elements and then sealed the opening with a piece of cardstock. I then added the Double Thick Crystal Clear Foam Tape - 5mm wide around the outer side back of the card front and attached it to in A2 grapefruit colored card base. I embellished the Sun with some sequins to complete the card.
