Peppermint Ice Cream Swirl for Christmas
November 07, 2024
Anyone like a special ice cream for Christmas? Our local creamery had Little Debbie Christmas Cake ice cream last year and it was delicious! I'm waiting for that launch date! Today, I have a peppermint ice cream for you, but you'll have to pretend that you can actually taste it! Here it is!
Yes! I have taken my paper snips and cut up a few of the Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints for my ice cream! Does it look good enough to eat? It's so easy to do and some of the adhesive back was on both parts of the peppermint. I love how it turned out!
The base of this fun fold is Crumb Cake measuring 4 1/4 x 10. Score at 1 1/2, 3, 6 1/2. Start folding on the end where the spaces are smaller. You'll have a mountain fold followed by a valley followed by another mountain fold.
There is another part that will be needed. It's Crumb Cake 2 1/2 x 11, scored at 5 1/2.
Let's work on the larger base first. For the first area, use the Christmas bell paper in real red and white. It's from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper. Cut this 1 3/8 x 4 1/8. Glue to that front little section.
Next, we'll need a piece of Petal Pink card stock cut to 3 3/8 x 4 1/8. Run this paper through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Forever Plaid embossing folder. For this folder you'll want to make sure that your paper is straight. Did you know there is a dark line down near the opening of the folder along the Stampin' Up! Logo? Use that line to make sure papers are straight. Glue this paper on the first large section of the base. It will face the same direction as the red and white paper.
Now it's time to decorate one side of the long folded piece, mountain fold at the top.
From the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper, cut the candy cane paper 2 3/8 x 5 3/8. Glue to the front.
Using the Ice Cream Swirls dies, cut the ice cream cone using Crumb Cake card stock. The die is actually made to fold over and make a small card. We'll only need card stock for half of this die. There is a cone shape die with a little line decor for a cone. Put down the card stock. Lay down the long die with half hanging off the paper. Lay the cone decor die directly on top of the card stock and inside the large die. Cut. Use snips or your trimmer to cut the top of the cone on the line made by the die. Using a Blender Brush and a Crumb Cake pad add a little color along the outside of the cone and over the designs.
Cut a little wrapper for the cone using the dies. I used the Petal Pink snowflake paper from Snowy Scenes. Glue this to the cone. It's going to stick out a little on each side.
Cut the ice cream top from Petal Pink. Then cut the swirl part from Basic White. Glue the two pieces together. Now emboss the layers using the So Swirley embossing folder. Glue the bottom of the ice cream to the cone. Now add the ice cream cone to the candy cane base using dimensionals.
Now is the time to cut those peppermint embellishments and add them to the ice cream.
I decided to add a label to the ice cream cone wrapper. Take a little length of Real Red & White Baker's Twine. I added it across the wrapper by adding a glue dot at each end of the twine and tucking it up under the cone. Yes, it would have been easier to add the twine before I attached the cone to the card. Maybe you can do that!
Stamp the saying in Read Red ink on Basic White. The die is from the Layers of Beauty dies. Tie a little knot of twine around the hole in the tag. Add the tag with dimensionals.
Now add some more peppermints. They are just so cute!
Add the remaining part of the card to the main card. Find the center in the front and glue. Fold everything flat and glue the back to the back of the main card.
On the back add a piece of Basic White measuring 3 3/8 x 4 1/8. Add a strip of designer paper. The saying is from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Real Red.
I LOVE THIS!
I really think you should make this card! Thank you for your time today. I hope you are glad that you came!
