Scrapbooking That’s Sweet as Ice Cream! “Drumstick” Inspired Scrapbook Layout Using Only Cardstock 🍦🎉

Updated: Feb 15

You know I love a good food-themed scrapbook layout, but this one? This one takes the cake—er, the cone! 🍦😂

Scrapbook layouts don’t get SWEETER than this! 🍦✨ A full 12x12 page inspired by a Drumstick ice cream box—because why not?!

Let me introduce you to my “You Got Me Drumsticks” layout—an entire scrapbook page inspired by a box of Drumstick ice cream cones and made completely from cardstock! That’s right—no patterned paper, no pre-made embellishments, just good old-fashioned cardstock magic!

“Wait… we HAVE Drumsticks?!” 🤯😂 That moment when you discover ice cream in the freezer—and your whole world changes! PURE JOY!

And before you ask—YES, my little man absolutely inspired this! His pure joy and excitement over Drumsticks during movie night had me cracking up. The expressions on his face? Scrapbook GOLD! That’s when it hit me—why not create a layout that mimics the actual ice cream box?


Bringing the Cardstock Only Drumstick Scrapbook Layout To Life


Paper Choices That Made This Layout So Sweet 🍫🍦


When crafting a food-inspired layout, color is everything! I carefully selected Close To My Heart cardstock shades that matched the iconic Drumstick packaging:

• White Daisy (for the crisp, clean background)

• Shortbread (for that golden cone color)

• Sapphire (for the signature blue box)

• Mocha & Mink (for chocolatey goodness!)

• Candy Apple (for the pop of red on the box)

• Acorn (for extra depth in the cone details)

• Journey (CTMH’s Color of the Year—added for a unique twist!)


The Sweetest Detail? My Son’s Mispronunciation! 😂

 Scrapbook page featuring text "The Original Vanilla," an ice cream cone graphic, blue and red accents, and a website link.
😂 Close-Up of the Misspelled Word scrapbooking Rule #1: If your kid says it wrong, you document it FOREVER. 🤣 ‘Origional’ is now officially part of the family dictionary!

Let’s be real—scrapbooking isn’t just about photos; it’s about capturing memories. And one of my favorite things to document is the way my little guy says words!



For this page, I made sure to include his adorable way of saying “original” in the journaling. It’s these small, personal touches that make layouts truly special. Because let’s be honest—someday I’ll forget the way he said it… but now, I never have to!


Designing the Ice Cream Cones & Box 📦🍦

 "Labeled '12 cones' with ice cream cone cutouts on a red and white card, featuring bold, blue-outlined text."
Tiny but mighty! These adorable mini cones add the perfect detail to this sweet scrapbook page!

What’s an ice cream scrapbook layout without ice cream cones? (A tragedy, that’s what! 😂)


I used Cricut Design Space® to find the perfect digital ice cream cone cut files. Then, I carefully cut, layered, and inked each piece to bring the cones to life!

Who else is craving a Drumstick right now?! 🍫🍦 These oversized cardstock cones look almost good enough to eat!

🎨 Pro Tip: Adding ink blending (like Journey Ink on the cones) gives cardstock that extra depth, making your die-cuts look even more realistic!


And just like that… BOOM! The Drumstick box was recreated in scrapbook form! 🤩


The Final Look: Nothing But Cardstock - Drumstick Scrapbook Layout 🍦📸

Who needs patterned paper when cardstock can do THIS?! 🎨🔥 Every element was hand-cut, layered, and inked for the ultimate ice cream scrapbook magic!

I have to say—this layout might just be one of my favorites ever! Everything about it makes me smile:


✅ The bright colors that scream “ICE CREAM TIME!”

✅ The perfectly layered cardstock ice cream cones

✅ My little man’s adorable expressions in the photos

✅ The inside joke captured in the journaling
