This is the first time that I have inked up my Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, crazy...  right? ... yep, considering it was on the top of my wish list when I first clapped eyes on the new catty.  This is an extra special set; not only does it co-ordinate with the cute Tree Builder Punch but $3.00 (AUD) from every set sold goes to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  You'll find it featured in the SU catalogue on the inside back page (p.189) for easy reference.


There are 22 stamps in the Sprinkles of Life Set and I managed to ink up 14 of them for my three projects!  Just for an added extra I am also sharing some fun ways to use the Circle Card Thinlits Die and a technique with a mini tutorial; plus, each project features a different Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Links to the tutorials I followed can be found at the bottom of this post.


Project #1 - Marbling with Shaving Foam

This card was cut from the Circle Card Thinlits Die in the usual way and the strips of Bohemian DSP were fussy cut so the large diamonds in the pattern made for an interesting edge on both sides.
     
Project Recipe:
Stamp Set:  Sprinkles of Life
Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo, Chocolate Chip, Delightful Dijon, Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette Ink Refills
Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Delightful Dijon
Accessories:  Bohemian DSP, Circle Card Thinlits Dies, Tree Builder Punch, Word Window Punch, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
Non-SU:  Shaving Cream
Here's how to get that swirly ice-cream look -

Marbling with Shaving Foam
1.  Squirt some shaving foam onto a paper or plastic plate and add a few drops of ink refills (Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette used in this example).
2.  Swirl the colours through the shaving foam with a small stick (be careful not to over mix the ink).
3.  Place the  Very Vanilla card stock over the swirled shaving foam mixture and press down gently.
4.  Wipe off the excess shaving foam with a tissue and leave to dry.  
5.  Stamp the images onto the marbled area and punch out the 'scoops' of ice-cream with the Tree Builder Punch.


Project #2 - An Extra Flap for the Circle Thinlits Card

There's an extra inside flap added to this card so you have more room to write a message to the recipient or you could glue the flap down to make a pocket for a gift card holder (Link to a tutorial at the bottom of this post).
The little bird image on the branch takes centre stage and colour inspiration is taken from the very cute Sweet Li'l Things DSP.
   
Project Recipe:
Stamp Set:  Sprinkles of Life
Ink:  Hello Honey, Tip Top Taupe, Tangelo Twist 
Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Hello Honey, Tip Top Taupe, Tangelo Twist
Accessories:  Sweet Li'l Things DSP, Circle Card Thinlits Dies, Tree Builder Punch, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace Trim, Paper Piercing Tool

 

 Project #3 - A Box made from the Circle Card Thinlits Die

 
My last project features the paper piecing technique with the Sprinkles of Life stamps and the colourful, Cherry on Top DSP Stack.  I followed a tutorial by Becky Cowley (link below) to make the cute gift box (Mine is slightly different as I watched the tutorial and then made my project a day later; made a couple of 'whoopsies' but I hope you get the general idea).
      
Project Recipe:
Stamp Set:  Sprinkles of Life
Ink:  Watermelon Wonder, Tip Top Taupe
Card Stock:  Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White
Accessories:  Cherry on Top DSP, Circle Card Thinlits Dies, Tree Builder Punch, Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace Trim, Sticky Strip, Lots of Labels Framelits, Rhinestones Basic Jewels
Non-SU:  Magnetic Tape


I hope you are getting lots of inspiration from the SRC Crew.  Enjoy the hop!

WOW you've been busy! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the shaving cream icecream! I'm going to imagine it's boysenberry - yum! I must try it out with the kids these holidays :)
You are amazing! I love all of your projects for different reasons but suffice it to say they wowed me! And I never knew that the shaving cream technique can be done without glossy card stock. Good to know!
