Ice Cream Corner Blog Hop

Good morning stampin' friends! How are you? TGIF!! I'm so ready for the weekend! I've got an exciting project to share with you today. It's a Birthday Card, it's a Fancy Fold. AND, it's a Gift Card Holder, all in one! Talk about a trifecta of awesome!

It also has the added bonus of being part of the Ice Cream Corner Blog Hop! That means you're going to get inundated with all things related to one of my all time FAVORITE product suites! YAYA!!!

Grab a beverage (and maybe a snack too), sit back, get comfy, and hop along with us!

Ok, I told you my project was a Fancy Folded, Gift Card Holding, Birthday Card. It is a lot of fun and is sure to delight whomever receives it. It's also an easel card that will stand up proudly on any mantle or desktop!

I love the incredible colors included in this collection! It screams Summertime to me, and I am soaking it all up.

Making the card an easel fold means it can be set out on display to brighten any room!

I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" Thick Basic White Card Base, and then scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2" on the LONG SIDE. This creates the easel.

I used DSP from the Ice Cream Corner Collection for the entire project. The Green Polkadot paper is cut at 4" x 2 1/2" and 4" x 5 1/4". The smaller of the two gets adhered to the bottom 2 3/4" panel, and the larger piece gets adhered to the card background.

On the card background, I layered a 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece of Terracotta Tile Cardstock. Then on top of that, I layered a 3 1/2" x 9" piece of Basic White Cardstock that I had already scored in half at 4 1/2". This creates a card within a card and gives us the front panel that holds the easel together. We'll also be adding the Gift Card Pocket to the inside of that flap (as shown in the following photo).

"Happy Birthday" was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on the inside of the Basic White Card layer. On the front flap, I adhered a 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" layer of Ice Cream Corner DSP. The Gift Card Pocket also measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" and I used a circle punch to create a notch in the top before I attached it to the card on three sides. I tied a length of the beautiful Blackberry Bliss sheer ribbon (included in the collection) around the front flap and tied it into a simple knot on the front.

I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut the circle and scalloped circle layers for the sentiment piece, from Basic White and Terracotta Tile Cardstocks. This piece is attached with dimensionals on the bottom portion only to allow it to be a buckle to hold the easel steady.

To finish off the card, I stamped and fussy cut three popsicles and attached them to the front of the card. The sentiment piece completes the look!

I really enjoyed creating this card for you and I know you're gonna have a lot of fun creating it too! Give it a go! :-D

Make It Monday - Ice Cream Corner Ghirardelli Treat Holder

Heya Friends! How goes? I have a super fun, quick and easy little treat holder for you today! I shared how to make it on a Facebook Live on "THE STAMPIN' CHIC DANA SULLIVAN". It's a perfect little treat hold to make en mass because it takes very little supplies, and it can be replicated quickly.

You'll need:

Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set

Coastal Cabana Cardstock Base: 2 3/4" x 8", Scored at 3 7/8" & 4 1/8" on the LONG SIDE.
Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper (DSP): 2 1/2" x 1 3/4"
Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper (DSP): 2 1/4" x 1 1/2"

Terracotta Tile Cardstock Scrap: cut with the 2nd Smallest Scalloped Layering Circles Die

White Cardstock Scrap: cut with the Smallest Stitched Circle Die

Classic Label Punch

Detailed Trio Punch
Handheld Hole Punch

Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon

Score and burnish the lines on the Cardstock Base.

Using Classic Label Punch, insert one end of the cardstock as far as it'll go and center it left to right. Punch a label space out. This will be where your Ghirardelli Square slides into the holder.

Use Detailed Trio Punch to round the top two corners of the holder.

Align the front and back sides together and punch two holes relatively spaced through both layers, using the Handheld Hold Punch.

Tie a Ribbon bow through the two holes you just made.

Layer the two pieces of DSP together with Stampin' Seal and attach to the front of the holder.

Stamp the Sentiment using Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Use mini dimensionals to layer the White Cardstock to the Terracotta Tile Cardstock and then the layered circles piece to the front of the treat holder.

Slide your Ghirardelli Square into the slot and you are done! Easy Peezy right?!

I love projects like this! I hope you do too!

These would make terrific party favors, Valentine's treats for kids' classrooms, yummy treats just because for coworkers and friends, and so much more!
