Four Simple Ice Cream Birthday Cards


These cards were quick and easy to make using patterned paper. If we are camping or visiting Arizona I will bring some things to work on. Often I will create just the card fronts, as it saves space for packing and then I can mount the panels to card blanks when we get home. That is what happened with these cards but they never did get mounted. I pulled the panels out of my 'in progress' bin and adhered them to the card bases this month.

At the time I must have thought I would add an ice cream element or other decoration to the front, but when I got them mounted I thought they looked nice and cheerful on their own. I'm sure the nursing home residents will enjoy them as most people like ice cream. Plus, there is some sparkle from the sticker gems.


 The card interiors are all the same.

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.
