Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are the perfect anecdote for a hot summer day, and I chose a chocolate shake, my favorite, for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a yummy theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I cut a strip of Bubble Bath with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contours dies and embossed it with the stripe embossing folder from the Stripes and Spatters 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the side of a Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and adhered the layered panel to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base. I embossed an Bubble Bath panel with the stripe embossing folder. I cut a Basic White panel with the third largest scalloped rectangle die and adhered the embossed panel to the inside. I adhered the rectangle to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the glass from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White (stamp the detailed stamp first and stamp off the filler stamp before stamping over the detailed image). I cut the glass out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the shake top in Crumb Cake and the cherry and straws in Real Red. I cut these out with the coordinating dies and cut a little whipped cream from Basic White. I adhered the pieces together with glue dots and adhered the top to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Versamark ink on Azure Afternoon and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Cheerful Daisies dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Cherry in real Red and the hearts in Bubble Bath and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are fun way to celebrate summer and send summer greetings to friends and family. And as a bonus, they are calorie free, don’t melt in the heat, and won’t give you brain freeze. Now I’m ready for some ice cream!
