Hello friends, Larissa here with a You’re So Cool summertime card for you today.

Summertime is here and everyone loves ice cream. Today I made a card using popsicles.

[Tweet “create a You’re So Cool popsicle card #summertime, #popsicles, #crafts, #paper”]

I used:

Reverse Confetti Let’s Chill Stamp Set
Reverse Confetti Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts
3 different shades of cardstock
Swiss Dot embossing folder
Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive
Black Stamp Pad
Sequins

How I made the card:

Die cut 3 popsicles.
Emboss all three
Adhere the popsicles to the card front.
Tie three bows out of the twine and adhere them to the popsicles
Stamp the sentiment on the card front
Finish the card front with sequins

I had so much fun with these popsicles. You could really use any color combo or use the same color.
Now I have a little extra something for you today.
My favorite homemade popsicle recipe! Usually, I put fruit in the blender, pour it into the popsicle molds and freeze. While I was looking at Pinterest one night I stumbled across this recipe and had to try it. I am so glad I did.

You will need:

1 pound of fresh peeled, cubed pineapple. It ends up being about 4 cups. (FYI I have also used frozen pineapple)
1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
1 pinch of salt

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Make sure to scrap the sides down.
Spoon mixture into popsicle molds.
Do not overfill.
Freeze completely about 4 hours.
Once you have unmolded the popsicle you can wrap them individually in plastic wrap to store in the freezer.

For a little extra, I will add coconut milk or flakes to give it the Pina Colada flavor. Of course, you could do this with any fruit combo’s. Endless possibilities.
I hope you try and enjoy this recipe.

Have a wonderful day friends.
