ice cream swirl twisted easel bookfold card

This Ice Cream Swirl is such a fun whimsical bundle! I really love the playfulness of it and this card is just built for the whimsy of this set!

I recently received a Twisted Easel Bookfold card in my swap this month and so i decided to rework it with my own style and blog it for you with all the directions and photos so you will be able to recreate it!

Measurements:
BASE: Flirty Flamingo 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
Basic White layer: 4″ square
scrap of Crumb cake for the cone
scraps of white for the sentiments and base of
the ice cream
scrap of Flirty Flamingo for the swirl and the
inside sentiment matte
DSP: 1″ x 4″

Score the base card at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ and crease well with a bone folder. Place Tear & Tape in between the two score lines and fold the card closed sealing the book binding fold.

Fold the square upwards so the bottom right hand point matches up to the top right hand point – using your bone folder crease the diagonal fold well matching on the top edge.

Bend backwards so the score line is a mountain fold.

Add the 4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card.

Die cut the swirl in Flirty Flamingo, the ice cream base in Basic White and the cone in Crumb Cake cardstock and add the embossing for the cone as well.
Adhere the swirl to the ice cream Basic White base and adhere the ice cream to the cone.

The cone plus ice cream will be too tall so you willwant to place the tip of the ice cream at the top of the card and adhere the cone to the bottom triangle below the diagonal score line only. Cut cone that is hanging below the bottom edge of the card.

Stamp the Make a Wish and Yum Yum sentiments in both Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake inks. Fussy cut in straight lines around each Yum you will need two of each color. Cut the A out in the Crumb cake and adhere over the A in the Flirty Flamingo Make a Wish sentiment cut into a square and matte onto Flirty Flamingo. Adhere the Yum Yums above and below the diagonal score line on the card front.

Add the Make a wish with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the lower right hand corner of the inside of the card. This will serve as the easel holder for the Twisted Easel fun fold.
