Hello, my crafty friends! Today I am sharing a Milkshake card I made for my grandsons for their 4th of July treat---A gift card to Bruster's (a local ice cream shop). So I chose the Red, White and Blue theme with embossed stars for the card. This stamp set is so amazing! Not only is it a Two-step set but it lines up perfectly! Then the slit in the ice cream is over the top!!!
Come back on Tuesday for the Tips & Techniques Tuesday post to see the Packing Tape Technique I used on this card.
Are you ready to create??? Let's gather our supplies first.

Step 3
Next I added packing tape to the Milkshake glass and the bowls. This technique will be shared on Tuesdays Tips and Techniques blog post so please be sure to check that out on Tuesday. The image is a sneak peak to the post.
Then I die cut all the parts and pieces and put the card together.
