Normally I only blog once a day, but today calls for a second post. After posting this morning, Andrea Merlin, a fellow member of inKing Royalty said my balloon reminded her of the old fashioned lollipops she had as a kid. Well, that comment has been in my head all day and I finally gave in and made a second card. In case you missed this morning’s post, you can see it here.
Here is my lollipop card:
I think it turned out pretty cute and it still fits pretty well with the PP296 Challenge. Here’s a picture of the challenge banner:
The candy part of the lolly is from the Playful Palette DSP Stack. I chose the same piece as this morning to get the optimum circular swirls. After cutting it with the Balloon Framelets Die, I stuck it to a plastic straw that I cut down to size.
The bag protecting the lolly is a small cellophane bag that I cut down even more. I gathered it around the straw and tied it with a piece of baker’s twine. I then added a Peekaboo Peach bow.
My sentiment is from the Me=Grateful Stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in Emerald Envy and then cut it out with a Tags and Labels Framelets Die.
I mounted my lollipop on a piece of Peekaboo Peach piece of cardstock that I had embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder. Then I mounted the finished piece on my Peekaboo Peach card base.
Glad I got that card idea out of my head! Now if I could only forget the song! “Lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolly lollipop…….”
Happy stampin’,
