Ice Cream Z-Fold Card Trio

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! I had found these older ice cream ephemera pieces in a ziplock bag in my craft room so decided to pull them out and use them on my ice cream cards this year. I haven't made a Z-Fold card in awhile so that is what I did as well - they are my very favourite fun fold card to make.

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, taking us for ice cream on that special day in July.  I did that with our kids too - bringing my Mom along. We always made sure she had ice cream on that day. 

Now that she has passed, we continue the tradition - raising an ice cream cone or sundae 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. 

I love the Lacy Layer dies from Waffle Flower and have managed to collect most of the shapes. There are alternating scalloped & stitched/straight edge dies in each set, which is what I used for these cards.

I added Pops of Colour (glitter glaze) on each of the ice cream pieces for some shimmer and shine, and added the elements using thin foam tape. The Celebrate was stamped in grey ink onto narrow cardstock scraps then I fishtailed the ends.

Here is a look at the inside of the above card, but they were all done the same.
