I was trying to figure out a different way to use some of the DSP in this Bundle and combine it with a fun fold.  And I ended up with this card! I love the colors!

  • Bermuda Bay: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 2 7/8" x 8 1/2", scrap
  • Ice Cream Corner DSP (N): 2 1/2" x 4"
  • Whisper White:4" 5 1/4", 3" x 4 1/4",  scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Fold the Bermuda Bay base in half. Trim away 2 3/4". Crease well with Bone Folder. Attach DSP to front flap. Attach Whisper White quarter to inside.
  • Fold Bermuda Bay strip in half. Crease well with Bone Folder. Cut medium whisper white piece with Stitched Rectangle. Run through Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder. Attach to front of folded Bermuda Bay strip.
  • Stamp bottom of "popsicle" in Coastal Cabana, then line up and stamp away top. Repeat with Old Olive and Bermuda Bay. Stamp coordinating "dots" in the darkest color.  Fussy cut them out.
  • Stamp "sticks" with Cinnamon Cider.  Stamp away for "stick", and full strength for "detail".
  • Center "popsicle" of your choice onto Rectangle.  Tuck the "stick" underneath.  Then, add one "popsicle" to either side. Add those sticks, too. 
  • Attach this, smaller card, to inside of card with Tear Tape or Seal+, centering over the inside.

Colorful Popsicles

So, I continued to play today with the popsicles in the Ice Cream Corner Bundle! These were a little more of a challenge, as they don't have a die or a punch.  Thankfully, they ARE very easy to fussy cut, or you could stamp them directly onto your project.  This card is a sample from page 48 in the Mini Catalog! Don't forget to use it for your inspiration!

Measurements:  

  • Old Olive: 1/2 sheet
  • Pear Pizzazz: scrap
  • Ice Cream Corner DSP (N): 2" x 5 1/4" dots, 2" x 5 1/4" popsicles
  • Whisper White: 3" x 5 1/4", scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Attach DSP to folded Old Olive card.
  • Cut Largest Stitched Nested Die from Whisper White piece.  Set aside.
  • Stamp bottom of "popsicle" in Coastal Cabana, then line up and stamp away top. Repeat with Bumblebee and Terracotta Tile. Stamp coordinating "dots" in the darkest color.  Fussy cut them out.
  • Stamp "sticks" with Cinnamon Cider.  Stamp away for "stick", and full strength for "detail".
  • Center "popsicle" of your choice onto Label Die.  Tuck the "stick" underneath.  Then, add one "popsicle" to either side. Add those sticks, too.
  • Stamp a "drip" in each coordinating color.
  • Attach Label to card with Dimensionals.
  • Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadow onto scrap of Pear Pizzazz.  Punch out with 1 3/8" Circle Punch.  Attach to card with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with a bow made from InColor Bumblebee Ribbon.
