Ice Cream Bday Nifty Fifties Card

Created this Ice Cream Birthday Card using Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge I've had for awhile & only used once. Reason I know I've not used it in a long time is not because there is only 1 post from 2011 on blog with Telephone image but because the cartridge was not linked up to my Gypsy and I had not relinked it when I had to send my Gypsy back to Cricut for repair/replacement when a security message appeared on it making it unusable. Cricut mailed me a replacement and my old serial # became the serial # for the new one. Had to relink all my cartridges and guess I overlooked relinking this one until now. Got it linked up and enjoyed making the retro ice cream birthday card.

The polka dot paper is Echo Park For The Record Vintage Linen. I thought the paper has a retro/vintage look to it to complement the ice cream cone from the 1950s.
