Sweet Treats - January 2023 Stamp Class

Hope you are having a great start to 2023!  Here are the cards from my Sweet Treats stamp and go class.  All of the cards feature the Dandy Designs designer series paper from Sale-A-Bration plus something sweet—milkshakes, sundaes, cherries and cute little owls.  Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Chocolate Milkshake

This card features the Share a Milkshake bundle with two-step stamping along with the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP).  The glass was stamped in the lighter color first (Fresh Freesia), then the darker color (Gorgeous Grape).  Next the milkshake top was stamped in Soft Suede followed by the straw stripes in Gorgeous Grape.  I used the Fresh Freesia blend to fill in the rest of the straw.  The sentiment is from the Share a Milkshake stamp set too.  Finally, the heart topper was cut using one of the Share a Milkshake dies.  Milky dots in petal pink were used to dress it up further.  You can change up the colors of the milkshake to your favorite flavors and/or to match any DSP.  Perfect for any celebration!

Card 2: Ice Cream Sundaes

It’s always the right time for hot chocolate sundaes with a cherry on top!  These shapes are all die cut from the Share a Milkshake dies.  For the ice cream pieces, the chocolate sprinkles are stamped using the dots from the Christmas Season stamp set.  The faces on the cherries are stamped using the faces from the Taco Fiesta stamp set.  The stripes on the straw were drawn using a Poppy Parade Blend.  The sentiment is from the Share a Milkshake stamp set.  Like the previous card, you can change up the flavors and colors to anything you would like!

Card 4: Sweet Owls  

These cute little owls are from the Adorable Owls Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  The panel card design hides a surprise owl under the first one.  To make this card, attach the basic black cardstock to the right panel using liquid glue or stampin’ seal.  Then fold the left panel on top.  Attach the 2nd basic black cardstock of the same size to the left panel using dimensionals and align it with the right side of the basic black cardstock that is attached to the right panel.  Now the bottom panel is hidden until the left flap is opened.  I colored the owls using Stampin’ Blends—but water color pencils or markers will work too.
