Popsicle Summer Card and Summer Tags

This is the third of my bright, summer cards designed for a refreshing lift to the summer heat.  It is a super simple cut and tape (double stick adhesive) composition.  The papers were from 6x6 paper pads and a Sn@p journaling card.  I don't journal or scrapbook anymore, so using the Sn@p papers to make greeting cards seems like a good use of them. To give the popsicles a shiny, wet look, I applied some Glossy Accents liquid (from HM BFC) over the treats and let it dry.  (Sorry, I didn't include the Glossy Accents squeeze bottle in the supplies photo.)   

I never like to waste even tiny scraps of paper so of course I turned the leftover printed scraps and solid pieces into useful tags.  I used tag dies from an I-Crafter set and a Hero Arts Infinity die set.  It didn't take long to piece together the tags and attach striped twine cords.  For a little added interest I added tiny epoxy popsicle stickers to the tags.  I am happy to have a new supply of tags to attach to impromptu gifts and home baked treats.  It was so easy and environmentally correct.  Don't throw stuff into the trash unless it is really unusable! Summer is the perfect time to craft refreshing cards and tags before the holiday crafting season begins.  Enjoy the sweetness that is summertime!
