NC Demos June 2021 Blog Hop – Summer

Then Paper Pumpkin came along in April with the So Cool and I was closer to being ready. I could put the kit together and think about summer. These are a few of the alternatives I put together after I put together one card of each design.

Finally June came along with all the summer birthdays and I needed cards. I looked at the stamp set and punch and decided it would be fun to make a stacked cone with the 2020-2022 In Colors.

Look carefully and you will notice it is a gate fold card. That’s right, not only are the scoops of ice cream stacked, they are interlocking. This makes for an even more fun fun-fold card. I love fun fold cards and the gate fold card is a great basic one. The problem with them, however, is that they often won’t stay closed. So, by overlapping the scoops of ice cream, the gate is locked!

I also decided to put the sentiment on the inside, which I rarely do. I usually leave the inside blank to allow for room to write. However, the gate fold gave me two flaps where I could stamp a sentiment and leave the middle blank for writing.

I hope you will try this card for yourself. It only used a card base of Basic White 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” and scraps for the scoops and cone. I scored on the long side at 2 1/8” at each end. Rather than use Designer Series Paper, I used one of the stamps to create the spots, once again using all the In Colors. I stamped once full strength and then again without reinking. This allowed for light and dark versions of each color. The products are listed below.
