Day Dreams and Ice Creams

It has been grey for the last few days. Where has Summer gone? I'm finding it a little hard to believe that we still have August to go - right at this very minute it feels like it could be September and Autumn next week!

So I will day dream about sunny days and ice cream lollies instead. We can pretend we want to reach for sprinkles and strawberry sauce rather than kettles and cups of tea! This is another card from my sparkly birthday range - it is perfect for birthdays or as an invitation, and can be custom made in any colours.

I've just checked the weather with great optimism. It is looking a little brighter next week. I will cross my fingers and hope for Summer!

Have a great weekend!

Ice Cream Sundae

And all of a sudden we're into the Summer months. Not that you'd know from the rain we've had today. We had a small lake in our garden earlier and it has been more than a little blustery.  

Still as I am writing this there is a little bit of light peering through the clouds so I'll look forward, optimistically, to warm days when we can get out and about, and treat ourselves to some ice cream! 

I can't remember the last time I actually had an ice cream sundae but I love their decadence! Remember the ice cream at places like Pizza Hut where you could fill your bowl and finish it off with sprinkles and all the toppings?! What a treat that was. 

The design for this card stemmed from this colourful swirl of an ice cream. I still love using bright pastels in my designs and I like adding a bit of sparkle with the glittery white sprinkles. I will happily make this greetings card with whatever colours (or flavours) you fancy so don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested in a commissioned card. 

I'll cross my fingers the rain stays away.

p.s. For more of my summery ice cream designs have a look at this post. I still love making the ice cream vans and they are a favourite for this time of year. Perfect for Summer birthdays or party invitations. If you're interested in any of my designs do get in touch at katiesarah.makes@hotmail.co.uk for more information.  

Sprinkles and 99s

The sun today has left me dreaming of lazy summer days and ice cream vans, sprinkles and 99 cones.

These ice cream themed cards can be bought as greetings cards for birthdays and summer celebrations or they can be used as invitation cards for the perfect summer party!

I hope you had a chance to soak up a little bit of the sun today!

Ice Cream Daze

Summer means ice cream, doesn’t it? I think it partially does and it is even better if you’ve got the sun and beach to go with it.

I’ve made ice cream cards before and while I do continue to make and sell this design, another style of ice cream has evolved from my sparkly birthday range. With a great curl of ice cream this design is more Mr Whippy Ice Cream Van than gelato bar.  It features the familiar sprinkles from my cupcakes and fits right into the range - I often sell these greetings card alongside each other.

This ice cream is vanilla but one of my favourite flavours is mint choc chip. I think I’ll work on that next! Have a really good day!
