Sweet Ice Cream for my
July, 2021 Creative
Therapy Classes

I am offering this darling birthday themed card for my July 6th and 10th, 2021 Creative Therapy classes. I CASEd this card from Julie Petrie's Pinterest post, and you can see her card Here, post of April 21, 2021. 

When you come to class, or if you buy my "Kits-to-Go", all the pieces will be cut out for you.  For details about my 'Kits-to-Go", click Here, and see class description for details. 

The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is so easy to use, and one can put together cards quickly.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Bermuda Bay, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Flirty Flamingo layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Basic White layer is 5 x 3 3/4, and is embossed with the Mortar & Brick 3D Folder.
• The scallops on the 5 x 2 Pattern Party DSP are made with one of the Scalloped Contours Dies.  The top of the DSP is adhered to the Basic White with adhesive and the bottom of the DSP is adhered with dimensionals.  Gives the effect of an awning.
• The ice cream cone is stamped with Cinnamon Cider.  The ice cream flavors are Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay.  All are stamped on Basic White and punched with the Ice Cream Cone Builder punch.  I adhered all together with adhesive, then used Mini-Dimensionals to adhere all to the card front.
• The words are stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink, and Flirty Flamingo on a 3 1/8 x 2 piece of Basic White.  The edges are sponged with Flirty Flamingo.   
• All done! Remember to decorate your envelope!!
