Ice cream and sunshine are a perfect pair, and this Sunburst Ice Cream Card has both along with bright colors and a fun design pattern! See below for the tutorial to make one.

This card is definitely a scrap buster, too! The more patterns you have, the better to create this sunburst design for your background.

I had just finished making a few cards using these papers for the top layers (4” x 5 1/4”), and since this designer series paper pack comes as 6” x 6” squares, I had a lot of 2” strips left.

The strips that were leftover were all so pretty, I couldn’t just toss them; therefore I decided a sunburst design would be a great way to showcase each of them!

I know I’m not the only one who saves ALL. MY. SCRAPS. Lol. And I LOVE using them for fun new designs! Especially for this design that looks like sunshine shining outward!

See below for how to make a Sunburst Ice Cream Card:

How to make a Sunburst Ice Cream Card:

Cut your Cardstock:

Calypso Coral: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, folded at 4 1/4” for card base.
Basic White: 4” x 5 1/4”
Designer Series Paper (DSP) scraps

Make a Sunburst pattern for the background:

With your DSP scraps, trim them to ensure they are rectangles. Then cut them diagonally (from corner to diagonal corner) so they look like really long triangles.
Next, place these strips around your white layer, with the points all pointing to a single spot to one side and a sliver of white showing between each piece. Glue down your DSP.
Lastly, trim the pieces from the back of your white layer.

Create the Ice Cream Cone:

On a scrap of white paper, stamp the cone and lines using brown ink. I stamped off the brown to make the cone lighter than the lines.

TIP: For a lighter image, stamp once on scrap paper then stamp on your project without re-inking. This is called “stamping off.”

From a 1 1/2” strip of rainbow glimmer paper, I punched out a few ice creams. Glue one to the cone and glue each additional ice cream on top of the last.

Finishing Touches:

Stamp your sentiment on one of your DSP pieces.
Die-Cut a large circle from a coordinating piece of DSP. Glue it down ensuring to cover the “point” from your triangular DSP scraps. Adhere this layer to your card base.
Use dimensionals to adhere your ice cream cone to the circle.
