We all Scream for Ice Cream: 12 Designers, 12 Amazing Projects, 5 Winners

This contest is now closed! Thanks for all the wonderful comments and support. Unfortunately, I didn't have any hidden blog candy -- but some of the other Supernovas did! Check out the winners list at www.PaperCraftPlanet.net

Happy Sunday and welcome to the Spellbinders/Paper Craft Planet blog hop! 12 designers are hopping along, each creating something spectacular with the Spellbinders new Summer line. I got to play with the Nested Ice Cream Cone set. I was really excited when it came in the mail -- I had seen it at CHA and taken pictures of the cute creations in the booth showing this die off.

My card is 5x7 with three scoops of ice cream, each cut from SEI's new Happy Day assortment pack. I used my Scor-Pal to run diagonal lines across the cone to give it a textured look. The birthday wishes tag was cut using the Ribbon Tags Trio set. I used a bit of old embroidery floss to tie the tag into place. I punched little "notches" on the ends of the card to keep the floss from slipping. I love the finished look.

Did you notice the hidden gift card?

I added the flower with a dimensional and used it to act as a tab for the gift card.

I was on a role, so I used the smallest ice cream cone dies, and the oval and scalloped nesties to make a tag for this adorable Easter Basket. The basket is a template from Adela Rossol and I cut it out using my Silhouette. My favorite part is the little egg cups on the inside. They were perfect for the small bottles of bubble bath (ice cream flavors!!!).

The Supernovas are crazy for Spellbinders and we're having a blog hop to show off the new summer dies! Hop along with us and leave us some love and you could end up winning one of the new sets! We've hidden FIVE prizes among the Supernova's blogs, but no one knows which ones! Leave a comment on one or all of the Supernova blogs in order to win. The more you comment, the better your chances of winning. Blog comments will be open until Wednesday at 6pm EST. The lucky winners will be announced on the Paper Craft Planet blog on Wednesday night. (This contest is open to US residents only!)
