Happy Birthday Ice Cream Card
































Created this birthday card using my scraps, Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge and used the reverse of the new technique from 2011 Summer Online Card Class to ink the non-raised image side of embossing folder.

I'll decorate the inside before using the card.

Entering this into following challenges:

Whimisical Wednesdays Ch #15 - Use Your Scraps (photo of scraps below with Teddy)

"Use Your Scraps"

Teddy is wondering what's up with this. I'm getting pretty low on the white cardstock guess I need to go to WalMart soon for a new pack.

Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge 5" one scoop, no strawberry

Paper (all scrap paper, see photo above):
Base: red cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
white cardstock 5 1/4" x 4"
core'dinations VC Pink Tutu - strawberry ice cream

  2. Did not have an embossing folder to give it the cone texture and thought why not use the MS score board and make the scores every 1/4".
