It seems like a long time since I’ve sat down and just stamped! I saw these cute popsicle cards and decided there was no better way to get back into stamping than to create these cool looking treats. Can’t you just imagine how yummy these would be on one of our hot, sunny summer days?
What you need: Fun, summery stamps. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Tart and Tangy. You also need a popsicle or craft stick, 1 1 3/8″ and 1 1/4″ circle punches, scallop, rectangle and corner rounder punches and ribbon. I also used a white gel pen to add white accents to the scalloped pieces and to outline the “bite” marks on the popsicles. Although you can not see it, I also added a little Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds to the lime to make it sparkle.
The dimensions of the card are 5″ x 4″, scored at 2 1/2″ Use the corner rounder on the 3 corners and the scallop punch on the upper right corner.
Here’s the inside of the orange popsicle. I used the Happy Everything stamp set for the greeting. The dimensions for the inside piece is 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″.
I added some Crystal Effects to help highlight the “dipped in chocolate” look on the strawberry.
I used the rectangle punch to create the slots for the craft stick on the back. The white greeting piece will cover the stick on the inside.
Thanks to Patty Bennett for this great idea!
