Popsicle Cards - Time to Cool Off

Summertime in Arizona.  I dare you to get popsicles home from the store without them melting!  Using an ice chest is cheating, by the way!  So, how about some paper popsicles?  I saw this great idea made by Lynn Dunn and just had to CASE it.  Doesn't it just make you want to run to the freezer to find something sweet and cold?  Thank you Lynn!!

Recipe:
Grapefruit Grove - 6" x 4", scored and folded at 3"
2018-2020 In Color DSP - 3" x 1" (times two)
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 2 3/4" for the inside
Crumb Cake - 3" x 1/2"

Stamps: You're So Sweet  (apparently retired! - sorry, I didn't have it marked as retired on my stamps)
Ink:  Grapefruit Grove

Using the Corner Rounder from the Detailed Trio Punch, round off each of the corners of the card and the inside Whisper White.  On the "dotted" paper, only round two corners as shown below.

Before you place the Whisper White inside, be sure to adhere the "stick" to the inside of the Grapefruit Grove.  When you place it, be sure that from the top of the card to the bottom of the stick isn't any longer than 5 1/2" so it will fit inside an envelope.

With this stamp set, the words are all together and would be too big for this smaller card so I made it easy to stamp two ways.

I used post-it notes to cover everything I didn't want to get inky, then inked up the stamp and REMOVED the post-its before stamping.

For the outside stamping, I simply stamped the whole stamp on scrap paper and then trimmed it with my trimmer and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Thank you for looking in today!  Here comes another week!

Caramel Apple Time

My apologies for not blogging the last couple of days.  The evenings were just too short and my list of things to do were too long!  Isn't that always the way?

But now... I can share this great little project with you.  I first made this at one of our Team Meetings with my upline and just knew we would be making this at our October workshop.

Is this adorable or what???  This is so very simple to make using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits (135853).  The stamp set used is You're So Sweet, stamped with Real Red and cut out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.

Here is what you need to make this little gem.  Cut two full pieces of the Curvy Keepsake in Real Red card stock.  Then cut two top pieces of each top (see picture below) so that you have two of the rounded top and two of the more pointed top from Delightful Dijon card stock.

You only need the tops of the Delightful Dijon because you will be making that the "drippy gooey" caramel.  Simply make a template, or even free hand it.  That's how I made the templates, so I'm sure you can do the same!

These wonderful sweet treats are what we put inside.  Caramel Apple taffy from Sprouts.  Thank you Lorri for telling me where to find the delights!

Simply trace and cut out the Delightful Dijon and attach to the Real Red with liquid glue and then assemble the Curvy Keepsake Box as usual.  Add your treat inside close it up and add a wooden stick.  

Place inside a plastic bag and tie your sentiment on with Delightful Dijon 1" Dotted Lace Trim.

Thank you for looking in today.
