Share an Ice Cream Soda!

Did you know that tomorrow (Tuesday, June 20) is Ice Cream Soda Day? Yep, I googled it and sure enough…! One of my favorite childhood vacation memories is going for an ice cream soda, chocolate of course, with my dad. It was a special and yummy treat. It’s been a few years since I’ve had one – maybe tomorrow will be the day I treat myself again 🙂 Let’s share an ice cream soda!

I’ve made one for you, in card form! I used Share a Milkshake stamps and dies and some chocolatey brown inks for a rich chocolate treat.

The milkshake glass stamp comes in two parts. I stamped the solid one with Pecan Pie ink. Over that I stamped the top layer with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder for a “glassy” shine.

Additional Details:

• Early Espresso Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
• Crumb Cake DSP from the 2022-24 Neutrals Collection, 5-1/4″x 2″
• Basic White Cardstock cropped with the 2nd largest Countryside Corners Die
• Cherry Cobbler cherry, waffle grid, and hearts from Share a Milkshake Dies
• Straw and sentiments stamped with Real Red ink
• The chocolate ice cream is Early Espresso, and the whipped cream has a little brush of espresso on it. I also brushed some Early Espresso at the bottom of the glass for that chocolate syrup look.

Recipe:

(‘cuz what good is a picture of one if you can’t make the real thing?!!!)

• 1/2 cup plain milk or chocolate milk
• 6 tablespoons chocolate syrup (such as Hershey’s)
• 4 scoops of chocolate ice cream (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups)
• Bottle of club soda or carbonated water
• Optional: whipped cream and maraschino cherries or chocolate shavings (for topping)

Enjoy!
