Simple Card Designs Are Inspired by the Best Ice Cream Corner

January 15, 2021January 15, 2021 by Jackie

These simple card designs are inspired by the Best Ice Cream Corner suite of products. DIY cards with me and have some fun (calorie free)! Everyone loves ice cream and today that’s what our cards are all about. Great for making birthday cards for people of all ages.

We are using the super fun Designer Series Paper (DSP) called ‘Ice Cream Corner’. This paper just makes me want to run out and get an ice cream cone–even in the middle of winter!

Along with the paper, we are using the coordinating stamp set called ‘SWEET ICE CREAM’. But it just gets yummier and yummier….it’s also my monthly blog hop. That means you will get even more ideas with this designer paper when you hop along and view the projects my friends made.

Simple card designs are a breeze with the Stampin' Up! Ice Cream Corner designer series paper.
