We have tons of Halloween candy around here so I am definitely feeling the sugar high! I never buy candy and rarely even have any, so I am BAD whenever there is a holiday when the kids bring home tons of it. I knew right away when I saw this theme I wanted to do a candy card! It fit in perfect with the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary because I knew I wanted to have three lollipops on my card.
I am not positive, but I am pretty sure this is the first time I have used Sweets for the Sweet. The stamps look pretty clean! I may have used the pinwheels, but definitely not the lollipops. It is funny how some stamps out of a set get used over and over again, while others remain untouched! I need to set a goal to start using stamps that I have never used before out of sets. Then maybe I wouldn't feel so bad when the sets retire and I have to sell them!
I decided to do two cards at once for this one since it was so simple. I need to do this more often. I already have the mess out, so why not? The card bases are 5 1/2" square.
Stamp Set: Sweets for the Sweet
Cardstock: Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
Ink: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple
Tools: Apothecary Accents Framelits, Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack, piercing tool, Chevron Embossing Folder, 1" Circle Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Accessories: Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, Dimensionals, Illuminate Watermark Ink Pad
