sweet candy treat

I made several Valentines Day cards this year, but never got around to posting them before the 14th, but I figured I'd still share them with you. I love the sweet treat cups, they are so much fun!

I tried the rock n roll technique to add a little bit of detail to the bird and the flower stem. I really love the end result.

Stamp Club

We had our Stamp Club last night and had quite a bit of fun making 3 sort of Valentines type cards. This is one of them, from the new Sweetheart Stamp set.




I love the treat cups, they are fun to give since almost everyone loves candy, and they can change the look of a card by the color of candy you put in them. What is also nice about the cups is that you don't have to put candy in them. I made a few Christmas cards that has confetti inside the cup instead.


Stamps: Sweetheart

Paper: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White Cardstock, Crushed Curry Textured Cardstock

The candy I used is called Smarties and the pink, purple and yellow are almost an exact match for the Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry In Colors. Smarties (made by Nestle) are very similar to M&M's, they are not available in the US, here is a Wikipedia article about them if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties

Until next time, Happy Scrappin'
