It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This week we have a nice and cheery color combination to inspire you!

SHARE A MILKSHAKE
Here’s a new bundle from the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog called “Share a Milkshake”. Lots of fun! I combined it with the oval Framed Florets Dies!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock.
- Two 1-1/2 x 4 pieces of Country Gingham DSP were added to the top and bottom.
- The oval frame from Framed Floret Dies was cut from Basic White and Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the Balmy Blue oval frame to the front, then added the smaller Basic White oval inside.
- The glass was stamped off with the solid glass image using Balmy Blue Ink and then the detail stamped full strength with Balmy Blue Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock. The ice cream was stamped with stamped off Mint Macaron Ink. The cherry was stamped with Sweet Sorbet Ink and the stem with the Early Espresso Marker. All were cut with the Share a Milkshake Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves were stamped with Mint Macaron Ink, hand-cut and added to the cherry.
- The trio of hearts were cut with the Share a Milkshake Dies from Sweet Sorbet cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from Share a Milkshake was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink on Mint Macaron cardstock and tucked under the milkshake glass.
- Some Sweet Sorbet Baker’s twine was tied in a bow around the stem of the glass.
- A Heart Pearl was added to the heart for a little bling.

I had total fun making this card and love the colors! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
