Let’s Create

1. Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
2. Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
3. Using Petal Pink ink, stamp the Detail part of the milkshake glass onto the Petal Pink cardstock and die cut using the coordinating die from the Share A Milkshake Die Set.
4. Using Petal Pink ink, stamp the largest Ice Cream onto 2” x 2” Basic White Scrap.  Using Sweet Sorbet ink, stamp the cherry and the straw stripes onto the same Basic White Scrap and die cut using the coordinating dies from the Share A Milkshake Die Set.
5. Die cut the chocolate layer of the ice cream from the 1” x 1” piece of Early Espresso.
6. Die cut the “waffle criss cross” die using the Crumb Cake piece of cardstock. 
7. Using Early Espresso ink, stamp the “Celebrate” sentiment onto the 2 ½” x ½” Basic White.
8. This step is optional – Using the straight border edge from the Blossoming Happiness Dies using the 4 ¼” x 1” Early Espresso.  If you decide not to die cut, then you’ll want to trim this piece to 4” x ¾”.
9. Assemble the Milkshake – Slip the straw into the slit of the ice cream layer. Apply a thin line of multipurpose liquid glue to the top edge of the milkshake glass and adhere the ice cream layer.  Apply a thin line of glue to the lower edge of the Early Espresso (Chocolate) and adhere to the top of the ice cream layer.  Adhere a bit of glue to the back of the chocolate towards the left and adhere the cherry.
10. Adhere the “waffle criss cross” crumb cake die cut to the 3 ¾” x 2 ½” Basic White panel at a bit of an angle toward the left.
11. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere the Milkshake to this panel towards the lower right.
12. Adhere the Petal Pink Designer Series Paper to its coordinating Early Espresso layer and adhere these layers to the folded Basic White Card Base.
13. Adhere the Polka Dot Designer Series Paper to its coordinating Early Espresso layer and adhere these layers towards the left side of the card.
14. Using the White Crinkled Seam Binding, tie a bow around the 4” strip of Early Espresso, with the bow towards the left edge. Adhere this strip towards the lower part of the card.
15. Adhere the Milkshake Panel to its coordinating Early Espresso layer.  Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere these layers toward the right side of the card centering up and down.
16. Cut both sides of the sentiment at a slight angle.  Using tape or glue on the left side and 1 stampin’ dimensional on the very edge of the right, adhere this to the card over the lower part of the milkshake glass.
17. Embellish with 3 pink opal rounds.
18. Stamp and decorate the inside of your card and the envelope. And it’s ready to send for a special celebration!
