Embossed Summer Sweets

Happy Friday!  Here are a few more cards that came out of my efforts at "finishing" up my Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit (in case you missed some of the others, you can see them in this blog post).  On these cards, I had fun trying out Stampin' Up!'s new embossing paste, along with the new Pattern Party Decorative Masks (and, I guess you can tell which of those is my favorite when I have ice cream and cupcakes in mind):

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Cool Treats, Coffee Cafe, Happy Birthday Gorgeous (greetings and fussy-cut flowers on second cupcake card)
Ink:  Early Espresso, Powder Pink, Calypso Coral
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Powder Pink, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Mint Macaron (retired), Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit Envelope Paper (cupcake icing)
Embossing:  Embossing paste, Pattern Party Decorative Masks, and Palette Knives
Dies:  Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Oval Framelits, Layering Circle Framelits, Coffee Cups Framelits, Frozen Treats Framelits
Ribbons:  Calypso Coral Ombre, Calypso Coral Mini Stripe Ribbon (retired)
Other Accessories:  Sequins (from Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit), Glitter Enamel Dots, Pearl Basic Jewels

I think the Powder Pink triple-scoop ice cream card is my favorite of this bunch, if I had to pick one!   (And, I have to confess I'm pleasantly surprised how much I'm enjoying using Powder Pink!)  What do you think?  

Thanks for visiting my blog!
