BBTB2 Ice Cream Cone Challenge

Happy Monday!  Time for this week's BBTB2 challenge.  I was super excited when my Design Team Sister, Penny, asked the team to create a project with an ice cream cone theme using any Cricut cartridge.  I hadn't had the chance to use my Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge yet and was so happy to see it had an ice cream cone box.  I cut this project out at 8".  I don't know about you, but I sometimes find the directions for the
3-D projects to be a little lacking.  So I will usually make up a sample using white cardstock before I use my good paper.  After cutting the sample I was able to see that I didn't need to use 12 x 12" paper.  Good thing, too, because I don't travel with any.  Since moving into the RV with limited storage space I just have 8.5 x 11" cardstock and 6 x 6" paper pads.  I used Bazzill Basics Dotted paper for the ice cream scoop and the top scalloped layer of the cone.  For the bottom of the cone I used kraft cardstock that I embossed with diamonds using a Sizzix folder.  I found the most important part of this project was to make sure I scored each piece very well.  So keep that in mind if you make any 3-D project.  I embellished my cone with a beige gingham ribbon, pink button, tag I cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and my stamped sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps Sweet Talk set.  We are on the road traveling this week so if I don't get by your blog's to visit, that's why.  We're on our way back to Michigan where we'll be spending the summer and be able to visit with kids and grandkids.  I'm hoping to be back to my blog within a couple weeks.
