Ice Cream Shaped Slimline Card

For the 8th edition to my monthly series Shaped Cards, I created a Slimline sized Ice Cream Sundae card! I will be putting this one away until next July when I send the family their ice cream cards - this year I was scrambling as Summer can get busy. So now I will be ahead of the game!I have had these two ice cream sets (Stamps of Life) for years, and I'm still getting good use out of them. This is the first time I've created a shaped card with them though!

I took a 4-1/4" folded card base, and lined up the sundae dish on the top fold. Then I slid that top edge just over the fold, so everything would cut but that top edge which would remain as a fold. That gave me a top folding sundae dish shaped card. 😊

Then I stamped another sundae dish on rainbow striped paper and die cut it out, adhering it to the shaped card base. Because I used dies for this - they lined up perfectly! The ice cream scoops were stamped and die cut from some patterned paper and I inked the edges for definition. Once they were glued on top of each other, I added some sequins.

Finally, after the card was done I decided to add a spoon from Karen Burniston's Ice Cream die set. That was cut from silver mirror card stock. The sentiment inside was hand written with coloured pens.

Thinking it would help the card stand better, I trimmed off a narrow strip from the inside bottom edge as you can see in the photo. Not sure if that really was necessary but the card does stand for display!

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
