Happy Saturday! 

Yesterday, I was looking through one of my card magazines and I came across a card created by Canadian designer, Becky Litz. It was nothing but a die cut ice cream cone, but it was really cute. I don't know Becky, but I liked her card. I needed to figure out how I was going to create my own version.

I don't own a die for an ice cream cone, so I thought about how I was going to get a dimensional ice cream cone (triple dip) onto a card.

Here's the how to:

  • Punch three cup cake tops from the Cupcake Builder punch. Make sure you get the cherry on top from the cupcake punch also. Here I used Soft Suede, Pretty In Pink, and Very Vanilla Designer Series Paper Stacks from the Neutrals and Subtles Collections.
  • Punch the small pennant banner from the Petite Pennants Builder punch and run it through your Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. Here I used Cruumb Cake cardstock.
  • I hand cropped the flagged end banner, which measures 4" X 1 1/2", from So Saffron Polka Dot Designer Series Paper. 
  • For a little embellishment, I wrapped the banner with Very Vanilla Bakers Twine and Linen Thread.
  • The birthday sentiment is from the "Henry Says" stamp set. I stamped it with Soft Suede ink.
  • The three circles under the sentiment are also from the Cupcake Builder Punch.

A pretty cool ice cream cone and a Quick & Easy and Clean and Simple card!
