Popsicle Card

Hello crafty friends!

Well, I think I should tell you why I’ve been MIA again so soon since my New Year’s resolution. ☹  Right after Christmas our entire family contracted a mild case of Covid.  As we were on the mend from that, my father-in-law, who just turned 94, passed away.  Would you be so good as to say a prayer for his soul?  He is a good man who raised great children, one of whom is my husband.  Anyway, you know how life can be, right?

My card for you today is a “cool” birthday card made with a new Suite in the 2021 January-June Catalog called the Ice Cream Corner Suite on p. 49.  I love the colors and images in the Designer Series Paper: Ice Cream Corner.  And I CASE’d a card on p. 48.  CASE means Copy And Share Everything.  I switched up the Designer Series Paper and the color of the cardstock.  You’ll notice that I kept the layout of the card, because I liked it.

The colors in this Designer Series Paper are yummy!!!  Blackberry Bliss, Cinnamon Cider, Bumblebee, Terracotta Tile, Bermuda Bay, and others.

I used the greetings from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and backed it with the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon that comes in the suite.  I used the Banner Pick a Punch to flag the ends of the greeting and popped it up with dimensionals.

For the inside, I used a new Sale-a-bration stamp set called Approaching Perfection, which you can get for FREE with a $50 merchandise order!  The sentiments in this set are unique and fun.

To decorate the envelope flap, cut a 2-1/2 x 6-inch piece of the Designer Series Paper.  Adhere it

to the envelope flap with Stampin’ Seal.  Use Paper Snips to trim excess Designer Series Paper away.  It’s a great, easy way to make the envelope matchy-matchy!

If you don’t have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you with your Stampin’ Up! supplies.

Hope you like it! Have a blessed day!
