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).
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.
Measurements …
Crumb Cake Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” (cut and scored according to directions in the video)
1/2″ x 2-1/4”
Real Red Cardstock
2-1/8” x < 4-1/2”
Scraps for die-cutting hearts
Basic White Cardstock
2-1/8” x 5-3/8”
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting glass, cherry and whipped cream
Country Gingham Designer Paper
(2) 7/8” x 4-3/8”
Soft Suede Cardstock
7/8” x 4-1/8”
Scrap for die-cutting “waffle cone grid”
Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
Real Red – 14″
Burlap (Crumb Cake) – 6″
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.
Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I had to share today.
I just got my January Paper Pumpkin kit two days ago and finished creating 6 alternate project ideas yesterday. My hope is to share these all on Monday. So I invite you back to see what I created.

Yesterday during my Online Paper Crafting Class I demonstrated the Baby Wipe Technique and the Vertical Center Step Fold Card with some amazing Stampin’ Up!® products. One card of the cards featured the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set & Dies. I posted the measurements, photos, and a product list for that card yesterday. And today I’ve got the measurements, photos, and a product list for the one made with the Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set. If you missed the instructions yesterday, be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post). Then scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I had some technical issues with my Live. But after watching you’ll see I also had issues when demonstrating the technique. (Hahaha! what a day!) But I didn’t give up…after the Live ended I experimented a bit more. And I believe the fewer layers of the wipe, the better. I got brighter, more solid ink images for my ice cream when I folded the wipe only once (had two layers). Hopefully this gives you better results too.

Too fun! Look at these cheerful farm-themed Extended 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold cards I made with the A Day At The Farm Sale-a-Bration 2023 Designer Paper Pack, sentiment images from the Best Family Ever Stamp Set, the Layering Circle Dies, the Banners Pick-a-Punch, and some other coordinating products!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I created these cards back in early December and am just now getting around to sharing them with all of you here on my blog. (There is always so much to share! Hahaha) But I had shown these in my weekly Live to my Stampers With ART Stars group on December 7th (demonstrators can get their hands on products about a month earlier than everyone else). This paper is PERFECT for this type of card, right?!
Here are the measurements for the main pieces…
Measurements
Base cardstock (Garden Green or Basic White)
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short end at 3-1/16” from the left and 4-1/4” from the right
Inside sentiment panel cardstock
1-13/16” (or just over 1-3/4”) x 5-1/4”
A Day At The Farm Designer Paper
8-1/2” wide x 5-1/4” tall – cut into 3 sections 3-3/8” wide, 3” wide and 2-1/8” wide
And then you’ll need other cardstock, ribbon, etc for the front sentiment pieces and embellishments.
Tips
After folding the card base and opening it back up, add the inside sentiment panel cardstock.
Fold the card shut again and attach the left of the three designer papers to the top base cardstock section so that the right edge and corners line up and conceal the inside sentiment panel cardstock peeking out. (Be careful where you place your adhesive.) This paper should end up within 1/8″ approximately from all the cardstock edges it sits within.
Open the card back up again and add the other two designer paper pieces in the remaining sections so that everything looks evenly spaced.
Stamp the inside sentiment
Then punch or die-cut the front sentiment pieces, stamp the sentiment, layer the pieces, and add the sentiment. In the case of the banners, trim off any excess cardstock going beyond the edge.
Embellish with the Pastel Self-Adhesive Sequins.
For the “barn” card, you can see up above in the photo clip from the Live that the paper came from the upper right of the designer paper sheet 1″ down from the top.
You’ll also want to trim the white banner after stamping it. Then layer it onto the green banner and trim again so the green border goes all the way around. The banner length doesn’t matter much, but my punched white one measures 2-7/8″.
I added 4 gold sequins to finish it off.
The card with the large flowers in the corner came from the lower left corner of that same designer paper sheet (1/2″ from the bottom).
As I was putting it together during that Live, I discovered the lamb in the upper left had to get cut… through the head. Ouch! So that’s why I placed my sentiment banner strip in the other direction to cover up the rest of the lamb. Now when the card is open it only looks like that lamb is peeking out from behind the banner. I also attached the banner with a Dimensional under the left edge and Seal under the right.
I added 6 pink sequins to complete the card.
The last one uses the rolling hills design for the main designer paper panels. I added the animals from the designer paper which I cut out with the coordinating On The Farm Dies. Yes,… so if you decide to get the On The Farm Dies or even the bundle of stamps and dies (and your total order comes to at least $50 during Sale-a-Bration), just know that you’ll probably want to choose this designer paper pack for your free SAB pick.
I then colored about 19″ of Black/White Gingham Ribbon with the Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. After it dried, I wrapped it around and tied it in a bow.
I used the Layering Circle Dies (2-1/8″ diameter and 2-3/8″ diameter) for the sentiment which I added with Dimensionals to give the sentiment a bit of a lift but to also secure the ribbon in place.
I added 7 blue sequins to finish off the card.
I love team member Vy Tran’s take on this card which she shared here on her blog. It’s vertical and uses the paper in a way where you could get TWO cards from one sheet with sky, farm land, and animals. VERY fun!
And if you are on Facebook and are part of my Stamp Your Art Out Group (or want to join it), you’ll see that Susan Pollock Wormley and I were creating on the same wavelength. Be sure you are in that group, then click here to see her card. It’s a bit more stepped up than mine, but our cards are identical in many other ways. Hahaha! I absolutely LOVE her version, too!

A couple days ago, on Wednesday I shared a couple bright and fun Valentine cards using new products from the upcoming Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. And in the video I gave a peek at the related card that I’m sharing today…another Cut Flap-Fold Card with products from that Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog AND from the 2023 Sale-a-Bration Brochure which are both debuting 1/5/23 (the Adorable Owls Stamp Set, the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, and the Dandy Designs Designer Paper).
Here is today’s card.

The Adorable Owls set is free with a $50 order. And the Dandy Designs paper is free with a $100 order.

Cut and prepare all the supplies listed in the measurements. (Be sure to apply Adhesive Sheets adhesive behind the Mango Melody scrap before die-cutting the letters.)
After die-cutting the letters add the color and add Wink of Stella. After die-cutting the owl, color then add the Wink of Stella. Allow these to dry.

Die-cut the Basic Black Cardstock.
Assemble the card…
Add the designer paper strip.
Add the black cardstock.

These were the cards that I made and sent to the people in my Stampers With ART group with December birthdays. They are so fun and easy to make! But I’m officially out of Wink of Stella now after using the last of mine on these cards and the Valentines I shared on Wednesday. Hahaha! I even tried to revive my two pens with a bit of rubbing alcohol (as suggested by my viewers during the Live). But I’m just gonna need to buy more.
Have a fantastic New Year’s Eve. Enjoy… but also be safe on those roads!
