When I was growing up there was a penny candy store not far from our house that everyone called "Charlie's" because it was owned by a man named Charles Nichols. On hot summer days we'd go to Charlie's to buy a popsicle for 7 cents. Back then popsicles came with 2 halves/2 sticks. My favorite flavors were root beer and cherry. Now most popsicles seem to have one half/one stick. My favorite flavor these days is lemon.
I played around with 2 of my popsicle stamps yesterday. One is small and one is large and both are from Impression Obsession. I started by pulling out some epoxy stickers and then I grabbed some ink pads and stamped small and large popsicles onto white tag. I sprinkled clear embossing powder on each stamped image and used my heat gun to create shiny cool popsicles. Then I fussy cut the popsicles and added a mini popsicle stick to each of them.
It was fun to look through my sentiment stamps and to add different messages to each card.
I rounded the corners of a few of the cards to make popsicle shaped.
Which card do you like best? What's your favorite flavor popsicle?
Have a "grape" night!
