Chocolate

Hi Everyone,

This card was inspired by some fancy chocolate I saw on the Web and a layout from my card here.  I figured if it worked for one card, it could work for me again. 

I used a square punch, rounding off the corners before stamping and heat embossing the little chocolates with some gold powder. I layered them onto a stamped heart background, adding a die cut row of hearts.

The Cheap Chocolate Eve Greeting was chosen for the sentiment, and it was die cut and added to the card. 

The background stamps I used are as follows and you can find many more Valentine stamps over at the DRS Designs store!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone,

I was inspired by my design teammates past cards and decided to color up some Candy Hearts for the background on today's card.  They're easy and fun to color, so I simply added a matching embossed background (Darice) along with the new Double Line Happy Valentine's Day Greeting.  A few half pearls completed the look.

I couldn't resist making another chocolate card.  Last week I made bon bons on my card, and here is a regular old chocolate bar.  I'll take chocolate in any form!

I used my rectangle and square Spellbinders dies for my bar, and I wrapped it in foil and some pink paper that I stamped using Scatters Hearts.   For embellishment, I stamped and fussy cut a heart, and wrapped the bar in a piece of tulle.

I attached my candy bar to an embossed heart background (Darice) and used the new Love You More Chocolate Greeting that I divided into two parts, using some punches.

Thanks for visiting!  Be sure to stop on over at the DRS Designs store and see all of these stamps and more!

Candy & Wine

Hi Everyone,

I'm featuring the new Cheap Chocolate Eve Greeting on my Valentine card in today's post.  I love any kind of chocolate, so I decided to make some bon bons to match up with it.   

I used a 1 1/4" circle punch and then sliced off the bottom portion to form the little truffle, and I did the same to the sentiment.  The cream colored white ones I dry embossed and the brown chocolate colored ones I left plain. I added a punched flower and little hearts to top them off.  The hearts were fussy cut from the Candy Heart Background. 

All the pieces were attached to the pink background that I stamped using the Chocolate Chip Background and pink ink.  To finish it, I added a strip of lace to fancy it up!

This is just a quick birthday card I made for my sister in law's 60th birthday.  Unfortunately any large celebration had to be scrapped due to Covid, but my niece planned an intimate wine tasting dinner for her, and the extended family and friends sent in videos.  Of course I realized I forgot to take a picture of it until I was getting ready to send it, so ignore the weird background...lol.

  

Here are the stamps I used:

Pour Me Bottle and Glass

Bunch of Grapes

Magnificent Birthday Greeting

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Heartbeat

Hi Everyone,

I hope your holidays last year were great and that you're ready for the next great card making holiday, which is Valentine's Day!

DRS Designs has some fun new stamps, and a couple of my favorites are on the card below.  Heartbeat and Every Beat of My Heart Greeting are a total match, so I took inspiration from one of the cards I made last year, here.

I decided to make my die cut hearts into "people", by drawing hands and feet, and used the bow image from the 4 in 1 Fashion Accessories stamp for the girl and boy. To finish the card, I added a little fussy cut conversation heart that had the xoxo on it from the new Candy Heart Background.

This card is all about the love of my life...Chocolate!  I mean, my husband first, but then definitely chocolate.

I decided to make the stamped Chocolate Chips white chocolate, so that they would stand out on the red heart and embossed them to make them shine.  I paired the heart up with the new Love You More Chocolate Greeting 

Again, having leftover hearts from the first card, I fussy cut some as embellishments and added them to complete the card. 

Hope your valentine stamping is off to a great start!


Thanks for stopping by!
