I'm on the Poppystamps blog today with an extra large scoop of die cutting. The Grand Whittle Ice Cream Cone die is full of great etched detail as well as a cute stitched look on the edges. It cries out for a slimline card to stack up the scoops.
I knew I wanted to incorporate watercolor, so I used watercolor paper and colored five pieces using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in 5 different turquoise and teal shades. I did some blending of a darker shade on the bottom of each piece. Lastly, I watercolored a piece the shade of a delicious sugar cone. I used the die set and cut my five scoops and one cone. To finish the look of the ice cream, I used my White Gel Signo pen to add a highlight to each scoop. Next, I took a 3" x 8" piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Solar White cardstock and lightly flicked on some of the same turquoise watercolor from two of the pens (I added water to the color first). Then, I adhered my cone and all five scoops with foam adhesive onto the splattered card panel. I mounted this to a 3.25" x 8.25" piece of Stampin' Up! Bermuda Bay cardstock and then adhered this to a 3.5" x 8.5" card base.
I stamped the Cone-gratulations sentiment from the Poppystamps Life is Sweet stamp set in black onto a slip of white cardstock and cut each end at an angle. I adhered that to the cone. For the final flourish, I adhered some iridescent and turquoise sequins. I think a sweet, great nephew of mine will like this for his birthday.

How could I resist combining a snowglobe with a gingerbread house? Two sets of Poppystamp dies helped me create this sweet scene, featured on their blog on November 12. I started with the cottage and cut it from 4 different colors of cardstocks: red, white glitter, Stampin' Up! Baked Brown Sugar to represent gingerbread, and two from yellow. I trimmed the door off the honey-brown one. I cut another cottage from red paper and snipped off the door to use.
I loved the idea of having a window in the door and was thrilled to see that I could put the red door upside down onto the cottage die and cut a window out of the door (yes, tweezers and reading glasses were critical for this).
I went over the door with a clear glitter pen. I used the window inlays from my two yellow cottages and inset them into the honey-brown cottage and the red door. Before I added the frosted roof, I used a white gel pen to doodle on the cottage, making it look like icing. Once the cottage was complete, the rest was easier. I die cut the fence and the tree from the same honey-brown cardstock and used my white gel pen to add snow. I cut two snow mounds from the snow die that came with the Cottage Globe die, one from white cardstock, the other from glitter cardstock.
I cut the two base pieces of the card from red and white cardstock. I cut the globe from pale blue cardstock and used a medium blue ink to just barely edge it with ink. I even glued down a few pieces of snowflake-shaped glitter to add to the snowy feel.
Now I wanted to add candy to the scene. Some shaker bits and tiny tree ornaments I picked up at the craft store really fit the bill. I could have created the candy with paper and markers too. I glued down tiny peppermints onto the tree and I snipped the little hanger loops off the mini lollipops.
Next I assembled everything onto the blue circle, starting with the tree, then adding the white snow, then the fence. Then I had to carefully glue down the lollipops. Next I used foam adhesive to adhere the glitter snow mound. I used liquid glue on the bottom of the cottage and foam adhesive on the top to get the dimension correct so it would sit level.
I next adhered the globe onto the white card base. I had die cut the snowglobe base from dark brown cardstock and the trim from a brushed gold cardstock. I glued these together and then only used liquid glue to adhere the base to the bottom of the glitter snow mound. Finally I put everything down onto the red easel, attaching everything to a narrow, pre-scored flap so the card can stand up. I liked my card as it was but I could easily add a sentiment to the base. Wouldn't it be great to live inside a gingerbread snowglobe?

I haven't made a spinner card in years, but I want to send one to a family with young kids for Christmas. No time like the present.
After I added the little spin and slide discs behind the penguin and bear I just needed to apply a lot of double stick foam adhesive to the back of the hill panel. Finally I adhered it to the sky panel and then I had all the room I needed for the bear to skate and the penguin to go head over heels.
