Ice Cream Card



DELICIOUSLY SWEET

ICE CREAM & WRAPPER CARD





Full of apologies already - my camera battery is flat and I can't find the charger so I can't do a step by step photo instructional.  I took this photo with my iphone in the middle of the night - it will have to do!  FYI:  That bow is actually a pretty pastel yellow :)

Anyway, it really is a simple card!

Ice Cream

  1. 2 pieces of coloured card 5cm x 8cm each - round the corners
  2. 2 pieces of white card 5cm x 8cm each - round the corners
  3. Pick your "eaten corner" and use a round scalloped punch to make a "four tooth" bite mark on the coloured card and a "three tooth" bite mark on the white.
  4. Line up and stick each white piece to their pink piece
  5. Stick a paddle-pop stick to the back of one ice-cream piece using double sided tape.  Cover the back of the stick and the icecream with more double sided tape and then line up the other icecream piece and stick them together
  6. Trim if necessary.

Wrapper

  1. One piece if coloured / patterned paper/card 7 x 22
  2. Fold the coloured paper in half and test that the icecream will fit - trim if necessary
  3. At the open end (opposite to the folded end), use a decorative edge punch across the edge, per the above photo.  At the folded side, round the corners.
  4. Place double-sided tape along the sides and stick the folded paper together to form a pocket, with an opening at one end (the decorative end)
  5. Ink the edges
  6. Create your greeting (for both icecream and wrapper) on your computer, print and cut out.

From there it's up to you how you want your greeting to look and how to embellish your wrapper and icecream!

Gently slide your icecream in its wrapper and it's ready to sweeten someone's day!




Happy Desserting!
