Seize the Birthday #311 No Flowers


What? No flowers for this topping at the next challenge at Seize the Birthday? Well that was my first thought and it maybe yours too. But when I thought about it, what fun there is in challenging our card making capabilities. I found many things that could be the subject of my cards. I have been searching in my older stamps and dies and found this ice cream truck. I when one step further and made it a fancy fold as well. It was fun. So thank you to Jules for this challenge.
My Card


See how I did the fancy fold so that it can sit on display. 


Supplies for this card are:
Stamp in Up Tasty Trucks stamp and sentiment. 
Pink Fresh Nested Hexagon double stitched die
Design paper and ice cream cones from my stash ( great to finally use them)

This card can be propped open and stand up on your table for display. 
I already said that! Lol

If you are not using the toppings, just make it a birthday theme.

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!
