Popsicle Cards

Although today is a bit cool and wet here in central Ontario, we've had a few very hot and humid days - and are in for some more.  My youngest has been asking for some frozen treats to help cool down and, as this week's challenge at My Craft Spot is all about Cool Treats, I couldn't help but use popsicles as my inspiration.

I created these 3x3 cards using some fun, bright cardstock.  The popsicles were cut with Just Because Cards and stamped with little faces from Peachy Keen.  I then coated them with Glossy Accents.  The side border of the card base was punched with a Stampin' Up border punch and I used the same punch for the bright borders across the cards.  The top mat was run through my Cuttlebug using the Tiny Hearts folder.  

For each card, I stamped a sweet little sentiment from My Craft Spot's Inside & Out - Set#2, using punches from Marvy (for the white circle) and EK Success (for the coloured scalloped circles).  I finished things off with some cheery baker's twine from My Craft Spot, attaching little bows to the base of each popsicle.

Please head over to My Craft Spot to check out the rest of the Cool Treats created by the talented design team.  Then take a break from the heat to create your own project to link up for this week's challenge.  Stay cool!!
