Okay, I've said it before... I am addicted to sharped cards!!
Here is one I made for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge (Shaped Cards)
The ice cream is from Sweet Treats (cut @ 6 1/2" on my Gypsy). I made it into not only a shaped card, but also one that opens up two ways. All the patterned paper is from Heidi Grace.
I used a punch I have for the little tag using paper scraps that match the ice cream top. The stamp is from Studio G.
The paper was just an adorable polka-dot to start with, but I added Stickles to all the little dots and it added such cute sparkle.
I didn't have any embossing folders that would make the waffle pattern on the ice cream cone, so I used my Martha Stewart score board and made the pattern by scoring every 1/8" on the diagonal. I then inked the edges and surface of the cone to get this look.
Inside, I added a Scrappy Mom's Happy Birthday stamp.
Here is what the card looks like opened up all the way. So cute right?? :)
Do you know about a challenge that I missed?? Would my card be perfect for another challenge?? Please let me know. I love letting people know if their wonderful cards would fit in a challenge they would have otherwise missed.
Big and special thank you to Sharon for helping me find another challenge!! Crazy for Cricut : Anything goes + use your Cricut

So Fab!! The ice-cream cone looks real! Great work!
WOW! That is such an adorable card, a lot of detail, and work/fun whatever you want to call it! Thanks for playing with us at FCCB! :)
This is super!! The first thing I noticed was the cone and was thinking that I MUST get that folder. Now I know that I just need to use my score board. How clever! I love all the stickles on the ice cream too.
Thanks so much for playing along at FCCB this week!
This is adorable! I love the texture on the cone!
Thank you for joining our Anything Goes challenge at Sentimental Sundays .

I love this card. Did you make a gypsy download for it? Or can you let me know how you put it together so it could open top and bottom. Did you meld 3 together then cut?

You did a Fantabulous job with the challenge! Your ice cream cone rocks!!! I love how you used your scoreboard on the cone and you really finished off the inside of the card nice. Great job! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at FCCB this week!
How clever! I love how you scored this to open. Thanks for playing with us at FCCB!
Cheryl,
I can't wait to play around with my Gypsy! You come up with the best, most unique cards!!! :) I love the way this one opens! And I was wondering what embossing folder you used-you did a great job scoring it by hand!
Thanks for sharing,
