I love to find candy that coordinates with Stampin' Up! colors. In fact I can spend LOTS of time in the candy aisles creating projects in my mind – coordinating the candy with papers and images we carry. Just days before Convention I was shopping for a chocolate bar that I could give my roommate, Terri (and Sara, my Business Development Advisor at Stampin' Up!) as a gift. I was super excited when I found this one while getting some groceries. It had the new Mint Macaron color AND the new Cucumber Crush color in it!!
I took a 2" x 8-1/2" strip of Chocolate Chip card stock and punched both ends with the Banner Triple punch. Then I added a punched 2" wide scrap of Mint Macaron and added that underneath one end, wrapped it all around the candy bar, and stapled it closed so that the Chocolate Chip card stock in the back peeked out a bit more and gave the appearance of yet one more layer behind the mint. To see a complete list of supplies used, just scroll to the bottom of this post. They are linked to my online store if you wish to purchase anything.
I added a knot of Mint Macaron Lace ribbon over the staple with a couple glue dots. And then I finished it off with a couple stamp images from Sweet Stack and Vintage Leaves. It was super quick to make, too!
I thought I'd also give you a quick peek at a few Paper Pumpkin projects I am working on with the July Thanks a Latte kit. I'll post some of them on Wednesday along with the video. And then my plan is to post the rest on Friday with another video.
This photo shows a peak at one of the scrapbook pages I created. And I am TOTALLY excited about this set of pages! I think you'll like it, too.
Here is a peek at another project…a fun gift idea that I shared last year but had to bring back since the stamp set in this kit was so fitting.
This photo shows an item that goes with the above item. Do you know what it is?
This next photo shows a peek at another one of my favorites. You'll see this on Wednesday!
And here is one last teaser. A project idea for "back to school time."
