Fun Fold Cards With Ice Cream Corner! Whoo-hoo, time to join this amazing group of international demonstrators for this month’s hop. This month’s theme features The Ice Cream Corner papers! Therefore it had to be fun! After all, that’s what Ice Cream is all about!
Pretty Cards and Paper – Cards With Ice Cream Corner
So, for my first card, you just create a fold over on the front sheet of paper so you can see the base layer. In this case because I use Blackberry Bliss I can add some fun with White Heat Embossed Congratulations!
Do you like that? With the pretty bow wrapped around. Makes it have just a little extra zing to what is otherwise a really simple card to make.
My second card today is one I shared with my Silver Plus Team Reception last night! Oh we had fun! I sent them all some Ice Cream Corner paper and coordinating cardstock and then we played with this design. (After we had all had an hour cooking class making fritters & brownies!! Such fun!)
It uses nearly half a sheet of paper, but it really shows off both sides, which is something I like. Normally you have to give up one side when you glue your paper down, with this you don’t have to! I love making fun fold cards with Ice Cream Corner because the paper is so fab on both sides!
Measurements
Take a sheet of The Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and cut it down to 21 x 14.9 cm. Then score at 5, 10, 15 cm. Glue the 5 cm panel to a piece of cardstock 14.9 x 10.5 cm as shown below (so it’s half card & half paper). Fold the papers concertina style and then decorate the front & the inside with cardstock panels! You could even decorate the inside folds if you wanted to!
Do you like the sentiment and the words inside the card? Well, this stamp set Happy Thoughts was designed by Stampin’ Up! with the help of our very own Jackie Bolhuis when she hit her 1M sales milestone! Woo hoo, Jackie, this is a great stamp set and I LOVE it! If you do too, let me know COMMENT HERE! I love that you can fit the main sentiments into our punches, I love punches! Great for new card makers!
The other two cards that are shown above I have shared in other posts this week, on Facebook, and here on the blog!

Such wonderful cards! Love them all
I absolutely LOVE your cards. Follow the blog hop faithfully and this time I fell in love with your sweet ice cream fun fold card. But I have a huge favor to ask. When you give measurements they are metric and I am ignorant about converting them to US measurements!!! Do you know if there is a chart I could download or could you possibly also put those dimensions (maybe just a parenthesis after the metrics?) on your instructions? Even if not, wanted to tell you how much I like what you create!!!
Hey Katie, thank you so much for your kind words – I am so happy that you enjoy my designs! I made the decision not to do conversion measurements because our base cardstock is a different size to yours. So if I do a straight conversion, it wouldn’t work with your cardstock shape & size. I will look to see if there is an easy way to convert, but I’ve not found one yet – the only way to really make sure it’s right is to make up another card in US cardstock measurements & then work it out that way! Sadly I just don’t have the time to do that for every card I make. I can tell you that this is about 3/4 of a piece of paper & it needs to be the same height as your card stock – which is just a 1/4 piece of your card. Then fold about every 2″ to get the fold, but leave the front one slightly longer – so maybe you would do 2″, 4″, 6″ but have a 7″ piece of paper?!? I hope that helps? I recommend trying it out with some old card & paper you don’t like first! Hugs, Pip x
