Do you do this, too…make a card, and then make several versions of it? You actually saw versions two & three of my Vertical Center Step Fold cards on Wednesday and Thursday this past week. But before I created those I designed this card that I’m sharing with you today.
Feel free to refer back to the how-to video in Wednesday’s or Thursday’s posts for instructions on cutting, scoring, and folding the base of this type of card (and also to peek at the other Vertical Center Step Fold cards that I made if you missed them earlier).
This is the Share a Milkshake Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies).
Some of my favorite childhood memories involved ice cream…celebrating after school concerts at Farrell’s Restaurant, my dad’s malts, neighborhood visits from the ice cream truck, finding ice cream sandwiches in the freezer on hot summer days, etc. So even though I am now lactose intolerant and can’t have actual ice cream treats anymore, the memories are still a treasure. And this bundle was something I purchased right away.
Today’s card features one of these great desserts topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

- Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” (cut and scored according to directions in the video)

- Scraps for die-cutting hearts

Here are more photos of the finished card.
Tips:
- For the two-toned cherry, ink the stamp in Real Red ink. Then ink just the stem in Early Espresso ink. Because the stamp is see-through, you could do this with two ink pads. But if that makes you nervous, you could just use the Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker to color the stem on the stamp image before stamping it onto your Basic White scrap.
- For the image of the glass, ink up the larger of the two images in Pool Party ink. Stamp it onto scrap paper first. Then stamp it onto the Basic White scrap. This will create a little shade of Pool Party. Then just stamp the second image with full ink to get the darker Pool Party color.
- To add the ribbon, wrap the burlap/crumb cake colored ribbon with a Seal Adhesive on the backside from the front to the back of the Soft Suede strip of cardstock. You will have a little over 3/4″ on each end to wrap to the back. Attach the Soft Suede strip to the bottom front of the card. Then wrap the Real Red Ribbon around the bottom section of the card (you will see this one on the inside of the card), and tie in a knot. Adjust so the knot is centered below the milkshake. Secure the knot in place with a Glue Dot.
So much fun to make, right?!
