Emergency birthday card - Sweet Ice Cream

This month has whizzed by and it’s time for our team blog hop again. I called this an ‘Emergency birthday card’ as I only had half an hour to make it before I saw the friend whose birthday it was - oops!

The Sweet Ice Cream suite is brilliant for all ages, and by using the DSP as the focus it really was a very quick and effective make. 

To create this card, I cut an A4 piece of Old Olive in half lengthways and folded it to make a tent fold card base.

Next, I took a piece of Basic White measuring 105x148mm and stamped the sentiments from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set at the top using Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss ink. I covered the bottom portion of the white panel with DSP and covered the join with a piece of Blackberry Bliss ribbon. 

I then die cut the hexagonal shape using the Stitched Nested Dies and adhered the ice cream on top that I punched from the DSP. This was affixed to the front of the card using Dimensionals. 

All in all this card took around 15 minutes to put together. This would also be a great card to make in bulk, and you could change the sentiment to suit the occasion.
