Create milkshakes with the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle! My friend, Susan, and I have ridden RAGBRAI together several times. RAGBRAI is the the great bicycle ride across Iowa. One of my favorite things besides spending time with my friend chatting and riding through the beautiful countryside in Iowa, is when we get to stop for a homemade ice cream milk shake. I made this card to give her for her 60th birthday this week. Happy Birthday Susan! 🙂

Video

Here’s a video showing how I made several different Ice Cream Swirl cards including the one above. This video also shows how to use the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder and create beautiful sentiments like the one shown on this card. Please watch the video to see how to cut the shakes with the ice cream cone die. At the end of the post you can order from my online store and see everything I used to make this card.
