Hello my crafty friends. It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and I'm back with another Ice Cream Card to send to my family! Every July I send them Ice Cream themed cards, and if you would like to know why, and more about the tradition, I put it below the photos.
For this card I pulled out the Diamond Flip-Its Plus, a die set from the Stamps of Life. I've always loved Flip-Its, so when this one was released and it had the extra flap and the layering dies ... I added it to my collection! The ECD Ice Cream die I've had for awhile. Even though it's retired, I still use it every year.
When you open the card, you see the 'enjoy' ...
... and when you open the right flap, the full sentiment is revealed. I stamped it onto one of Karen Burniston's new Short Crosshatch Rectangles - I adore that scalloped one. Some mirrored hearts for sparkle and this one is ready to be mailed. The sentiment is also retired, and I couldn't find it to link for you.
When my Mom was a little girl, there was always a July parade in their town. Afterwards her dad, my Grampa, would take her to the drugstore for an ice cream soda. She continued the tradition with my brother and I, on a special day in July she would take us for ice cream. And I did that with our kids too - bringing my Mom along. We always made sure she had ice cream on that day.
Even though she has passed, we continue the tradition - raising an ice cream cone to her in a toast and our grandkids think it's a great tradition! I also send my family ice cream themed cards to celebrate. ❤️
