Make-It Mondays Challenge #4

Sorry to be MIA so much lately. No excuses, just so busy with daylily club commitments. And like so many of you I didn't own any fun foam. So a shopping trip was called for--I opted for the assortment since I hadn't decided on colors and am glad I did. I actually can see using it for other projects. The most amazing thing was how well it cuts.

I was thinking of cupcakes or ice cream cones. Then while looking through my dies, I remembered a card for one of last year's PTI Blog Hops. Diane Jaquay used the large cloud die for an ice cream cone. Thanks for the inspiration, Diane! The small cloud and the small banner dies work great. I used the Banner Builder Collection dies and embossed them with the Sizzix Plaid embossing folder. By laying them on the folder at an angle they come out as the greatest waffle cones. I started out with 3 cones, one in each flavor but decided to mix them up on the card. The Double-ended Banner at the bottom is also cut from foam and stamped with Rich Cocoa ink (Memento). Not only does Fun Foam cut like butter but it can be beautifully stamped on too. I added the Making Memories shimmer brads to go with the shimmery KaiserCraft paper. Sentiment from Everyday Button Bits.
