I decided to get going on making more cards for the stash again, so here is a birthday card with a pocket to tuck a tag and a little something in.

A 12x12 Masterboard is always my favorite way to go to make a base for cards. Tim's Faded Layers technique was perfect to do a Masterboard with. I love that I can use this to make more than one item.

I trimmed the Masterboard to fit on a card base I had in my stash.

I had Tim's new Ice Cream Blueprint stamp in mind when I decided on my background colors using Neapolitan ice cream tones. I used the same color family of Archival Ink to stamp the ice cream cone. I inked all the edges of the pieces as well as the card base. I attached these to the card parts, and added the milk cap and inked ribbon.

I stamped and heat embossed the cone portion onto Ranger's Kraft Cardstock using Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder. I cut that out, and gave it a little shading with ink.

I stamped the ice cream portion onto parts of the Masterboard, and cut those out. After inking the edges, I used foam tape to layer the pieces on top of the cone. This went on to a #8 Kraft tag. Stickles and a Maya Road Star Pin topped off the triple scoop. After stamping some cool Hashtag words, I doodled a little using a Fude Ball Pen, and added more ribbon.
