Bon-Bon, Anyone?

Yes, more candy today.  Ha!!  We're gaining pounds just readying my blog, huh?  Hee,hee.  This is about it for the candy, but I did want to share this one.  Remember those bon bon of our childhood?  We had them at Christmas time and always looked forward to them.  They had white creamy insides and chocolate outside and were delicious.  Well, I decided to make what looks like a box of 4 of them for a neat Valentine card.

I used the Stocking Accents die for the chocolates--the light bulb die in it.  The card itself is white (run through the Perfect Polka Dots die) and I cut a Rose Red designer series paper circle and backed it with a Chocolate Chip circle to layer on the white card.  

The sentiment on this one is from the Occasions Alphabet stamp set.  I backed it with the Rose Red cut with the Scallop Oval punch, and layered that onto a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the Decorative Label punch.  

Have a great day!! See you on another visit.  Smiles, Laura

Two Candy Canes

Today we are going to use the Stocking Accents die again to make candy canes.  This is another fun one.  This card uses Real Red and Old Olive, including the designer paper from the Brights Patterns DSP Stack. 

I told you in my last entry how to make the cnady canes--cut a red and a white one, and glue every other section of the white onto the red.  (The die has perferations to showing where to cut.)  I crossed these two and tied a ribbon around them both.

This sentiment is from the Occasions Alphabet set.  I stamped it on white and punched it with the Scallop Oval punch, then layered that onto a Wide Oval punch in olive.

I added three little rhinestone jewels at the bottom for "bling".

I'll be showing some other cards made using the Stocking Accents in the near future.  Visit often!!
