Tasty Treats Popsicle Card

Hello everyone! Even though we are just beginning spring, I have a summer themed card for you today, as you can see. I designed this card around the “Tasty Treats Designer Washi Tape” which is part of the Cool Treats suite of products. At first I thought this suite was only appropriate for the summer months, but now I think it’s fun to make and send anytime of the year.

I really love the little accents the “Cool Treats” stamp set has. The diagonal stripes, the two vertical stripes to make it look like twin pops, the cute little cherry. I think the popsicle with the little bit out of it is hilarious and very authentic. 🙂 I love how you can go the popsicle direction like I did, or the ice cream way, or even mix them together. 

Below you can see some of the adorable accent stamps. I wish I had noticed the little curved pieces before I assembled this card. I would have used one to give the Pool Party popsicle on the left a little shine. I stamped off the main image of the Watermelon Wonder and Peekaboo Peach popsicles on my grid paper and then stamped the accent stamp full strength (without stamping off). I rounded the corners of this layer with the Project Life Corner Punch.

I like the contrast of the Whisper White layer against the colorful washi tape (no need for a colored cardstock layer in between). I popped up the popsicle layer with dimensionals and added some Sale-A-Bration 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (gold here) underneath.  I adhered the ends of a length of ribbon under the washi tape layer and then tied a shorter length of ribbon around it in a knot. Much easier than bows!

Since Stampin’ Up! envelopes are made to be stamped on, I jazzed up the envelope flap with some more playful popsicles.

Here’s a look at the card and envelope together. I love the coordination. 🙂

I hope you are inspired to create some summer fun cards in anticipation of those warm, relaxing summer days. If you’d like to do some creating with the Cool Treats suite of products and don’t already have a demonstrator, I’d love to earn your business.

Joyful stamping!
