Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles You're The Sweetest Person I Know Card

I'm back with another fun card for Altenew's August release, and this time I made patriotic popsicles with the Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles set. I paired the set with Altenew's Fireworks Stamp to create this A2 card. The Sweet Popsicles set will be available for purchase on Altenew's website starting on August 6th. 

I started by stamping a white A2 card panel with the fireworks stamp in blues and reds. Then I trimmed the panel to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 and added it to a panel of blue cardstock I had trimmed to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. I stamped the "you're the coolest person I know" sentiment onto the bottom of the panel and then die cut the elements for the popsicle using white cardstock for the stick and the following glitter cardstocks from Altenew for the rest of the popsicles: Moonstone from the Milky Way Glitter Cardstock, Red Spinel from the Brilliant Red Glitter Cardstock, and Tanzanite from the Blue Crystals Glitter Cardstock. I ink blended the popsicle stick with Altenew's Peachy Glow Fresh Dye Ink. I assembled the popsicle and popped it up using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. Then I added the panel to a white A2 card base.

  1. Carrie, I really love this one too! The fire works in the background are the perfect backdrop for this yummy treat. I think my favorite part of it is the red drizzle on top. So creative and clever! And that sentiment is the best!Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!

  2. Another fun R/W/B design! That drizzle reminds me of the cherry drizzle that Mr. Softee had when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing with the July Anniversary Challenge at A Cut Above.
