This is probably my last popsicle card before the Mouthwatering stamp set retires...sniff. It was one of the more popular cards at my May Stamp-a-Stack even though there was a little extra work involved. To get the bold colors, we stamped the popsicle sticks in Crumb Cake, then restamped with colors on scraps and cut out the popsicles. Did you notice the embossing? If you run your cardstock through the Big Shot the "normal" way, the scallop fans are sideways. So I ran it through with the cardstock at a 90 degree angle. Then I slid the cardstock up to send it back through the Big Shot to emboss the still flat section. It's an extra step, but it's nice to have options.
