The new Color Of Fun Release from Simon Says Stamp is now live and it is gorgeous! Perfect yummy colors of ink, fun juicy images, lots of cool sentiments – all you need for a hot and sunny summer!

I used Cone Building stamp and die sets as well as One With Nature stamp and dies. I stamped a bunch of ice cream cones and scoops in various light colors of ink from from Simon. I wanted to have several options for my project so I stamped at least 4-5 of each all in different colors of ink.

I also added trees to my ice cream to fake some waffles. I know, sounds weird, but I think those worked perfectly for my project. I had them water colored using Faber Castell Art Grip Aquarelle pencils (I’ve shared that technique a few days on on a different video I did for Altenew, you can check that blog post and video here).

I covered all of my ice cream scoops in glittery embossing powder to create a sugary effect. This is a fun and easy trick to use that doesn’t require too much time or effort. I heat embossed a There’s No Place Like Cone sentiment in white embossing powder onto black cardstock as I needed to create some contrast for my card.

The backgrounds for these cards were kept very basic – I stamped a Wide Stripe horizontal background in a few colors of ink from Simon. To complete the look I added a few colorful enamel dots and that was it!

I have a video tutorial to share as well, you can check it out below or on my Youtube Channel:
