This one was fun to make. It only measures about 4" by 3-1/2" and would be perfect for those last minute birthday/congratulations gifts. I am using up my DCWV textured cardstock that I've had for two years--I like the colors and texture and it doesn't fade like my SU! papers, but it is so annoying to try to adhere to anything. The color is perfect for this card though.How do you adhere textured paper? I have tried mono adhesive, glue stick, glue dots all without luck. The only things that work for me are dimensionals or metal fasteners: staples, brads, eyelets. Please share your secrets.

Very pretty card Alana - about the adhesive - have you tried Aleene's glue - you can buy it at Wal-Mart and it works really well on any paper - it is my glue of choice when I really want things to stick. HTH!!
Great card. I am no help with the dilema as I haven't really used the textured cardstock. I did pick some up today and hope to be able to use it soon. :0)
ohhh last week it was cute cupcakes and now ice cream cones-I always get hungry when I visit your blog!
Alana ~ This is a great card...I would never have thought of the one up, one down...givin me inspiration girl!
This is very cute Alana.....I try to use 3-D adhesive dots when I really want something to stick....
This ice cream cone card is ADORABLE!! They're colored just right -- making my mouth water. Very cute. :)
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Love this card! Even though it's only 25 degrees out (a heat wave this time of year), now I want some ice cream!
