Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles Life With You Is Sweet Card

I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer for Altenew's August 2026 release! I've been having so much fun playing with the new crafty goodies they sent me, including this fun Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles set!  This set includes so many great elements from punny sentiment stamps to detailed dies to make and decorate the popsicles. The August release products will be available starting August 6 if you are interested in checking out this set. 

For this card, I created a 5 1/2 by 5 1/2-inch square card base using red cardstock and then stamped Altenew's Dotted Pinwheels stamp onto a white cardstock panel. I trimmed the stamped panel to 5 3/8 by 5 3/8 and adhered it to the red card base. 

Then I die cut the popsicle sticks out of white cardstock and ink blended Altenew's Peachy Glow Fresh Dye Ink onto them. For the popsicles, I die cut the following Altenew glitter cardstocks: Moonstone from the Milky Way Glitter Cardstock, Red Spinel from the Brilliant Red Glitter Cardstock, and Tanzanite from the Blue Crystals Glitter Cardstock. I added Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape to the back of the popsicles and adhered them to vellum arches I had die cut using Altenew's Nested Arches Die Set and then I adhered the popsicles and vellum to the card front. 

To finish the card, I stamped "life is sweet with you in it" from the stamp set included in the Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles set using clear embossing ink and white embossing powder and used my heat tool to emboss the sentiment onto red cardstock. I popped up the sentiment using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape.
