Try Nothings Better Than Stamp Set

Are you a Chocolate Lover? Oh my Oh my, my sweet tooth sure is. Chocolate and caramel 

is my absolute favorite and anything with mint comes in a close second.

The card I'm sharing with you today is cased from Carol's Creative Corner. All I changed 

up was what I stamped on the white oval, because that is how I feel about chocolate!

Chocolate DOES make everything better until it hits your hips! HA!

The collar fold technique is fun because you get to show both sides of Designer Series Paper 

(DSP) when you use it. Just find the middle of your and cut in approximately two inches.

I do not recommend using your scoring blade or score board as it most likely will rip your

paper. I just carefully turned my flaps over by hand and scored gently with my finger nail.

The size of the piece of Basic White behind the collar fold is 2-1/2" x 5-1/4".

It's always fun to stamp a little something on the inside layer of your card. Surprise your

recipient!

I stamped the chocolates in Soft Suede ink, but you can do it in any shade of brown you like.

The piece of retired striped Designer Series Paper is from 8-9 years ago, so I'm sorry I don't have

an official name for it anymore. Just trying to use up my collection. Good thing paper lasts

a very long time!

Here's a different coloration using Bumblebee. I also tried using a retired ink pad - Baked Brown Sugar for the "milk' chocolate. I like the result. Hope you do too!

This stamp set and papers are available to purchase in my online store. Just click

Have a lovely, creative day!
