Ice lolly card

Hi there,

I met a family member in Waterloo station on Monday and the station staff there was giving away ice lollies, which was a very nice and sensible thing to do, it also inspired me to do a little crafting when I got home.

 

 As you can see, it's an Ice Lolly card, well, actually, it's a cherry flavoured ice lolly ...

... and using the fabulous Stampin' Up Scented Embossing Powder, it even smells like cherries.

 

  To make the lolly's stick, I used "Sahara Sand" cardstock and the "Woodgrain" stamp and round the ends with the 1" circle punch, but I put the cardstock in through the punch's whole so that I could just punch the end of the cardstock to give it that nice curve.

I also made an envelope for it using the "Simply Scored Scoring Tool" & Diagonal scoring plate.  These are wonderful tools, I really don't know how I managed without them, especially when you have unusual sized cards such as this one.

I made mine a birthday card but this style of card would be great for summer soirées and kids parties. Hope you like it.

Take care ... xx

Father's Day Projects ~ Day 4

Another Father's Day project for you today which may look very familiar to my post on Tuesday, only this time it's a regular Tie card rather then the Bow Tie.

I used mostly the same supplies, only this time I didn't emboss the "Very Vanilla" Layer I stamped it using the "Woodgrain" background stamp instead.  This stamp is the perfect stamp for masculine cards for all occasions.

The ties are really easy to make and I'll be back later today with a very short post showing how to make them.

Hope you like this slightly different take on my card from Tuesday, chat again soon ... xx
