I’m so excited to be sharing a card I made with the Trinity Stamps STAMPtember exclusive collaboration with Simon Says Stamp called Ice Cream Gnomes! I started by stamping the image in InkOn3 Blackout Ink and coloring it with OLO markers before using the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped the sentiment “It’s an extra sprinkles kind of day” in Charming Pink VersaFine Clair ink and die cut that as well. For my background, I blended a rainbow across an A2 panel of white cardstock using Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides. On top of the rainbow blend, I added a fun “ice cream melt” look by inking Shark Tooth white pigment ink through the Space Fog 6x6 stencil. I then die cut the panel with the second largest A2 Modern Embossed Rectangle die to give it a finished edge.

To make things extra fun, I turned this background into a full panel shaker by recycling some packaging and filling it with the Playful Party clay embellishment mix. I glued the shaker to the center of an A2 card base, leaving a clean white border around the edge. On top of the acetate, I layered a scalloped circle frame made with the Dainty Scallop Circle and Modern Embossed Edge Circle dies. Finally, I used thin 1mm foam adhesive to attach the colored gnome image and sentiment right over the shaker window. I love how this card turned out—it’s bright, playful, and perfect for celebrating the sweetness of the Ice Cream Gnomes set!
