Ice Cream Shaker Card

I don't have anyone in mind for this card... but it sure will make someone smile!

I made this card using Sweet Treats.  The card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and will fit in a standard A2 envelope.  The special thing about this card is that the ice cream top is a shaker. 

I used some zig-zag ribbon... something I rarely use.  I also added a Prima Bitty Blooms flower under a button from my stash.  The little tag is a punch and the stamp is from Studio G (one from their Sweets collection).  

I layered some foam tape under the card stock layers (all from my stash) and a piece of plastic taken from a Cricut box. I used real ice cream sprinkles in the shaker. :)

Here is the card base, you can see how only the top scoop opens up. To get the ice cream cone texture on the cone, I used my Martha Stewart Score Board and scored the cone every 1/4". I then inked the cone with some brown ink. I think it creates a perfect texture for the cone.

The "Happy Birthday" inside the card is also from a Studio G stamp set.

Tall Gate Fold Card

Here is a "just because" card I made for my hubby today... best of all... it's all scraps!!! :)

The paper is from the DCWV "Guy Stack". The card measures 9" x 4" (card base is 9" x 8" scored at 2" on each end of the 8" side).  I attached some brown ribbon 3" up on each end of the mustache panel. Then I centered the blocks between the sections.  I used ATG tape to glue the top and bottom block on the left side of the gate fold and the middle panel is glued to the right side, creating a latch to keep the card closed.

This is cut from the sentiment block page in the "Guy Stack" paper pack. I measures roughly 2" x 2" (including the mats). My hubby wear a goatee so it's perfect for him! :)

This is a journalling tag from the same sheet of paper. I wrapped some brown and white twine around the block before attaching it to the card base.  I used a chipboard weight "thicker" letter for the "r".  I attached it with pop dots.

Here is the bottom block on the card.  The mustache is glossy.

Here is the card opened up.  I added some coordinating paper to the inside of the card. You can see the way the blocks attach to the panel. The "you're #1" stamp is from a Studio G set.
