Simon Says Stamp More Than Chocolate

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Sweet Treats Stamp and Stencil, along with the Groovy Love You More die cut. Let’s jump right into the details, shall we?

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by stamping several of the elements from the Sweet Treats stamp set onto Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then went to work adding color using the coordinating stencil set. The inks used were Gingerbread, Cocoa, Gravel, Seafoam, Surf, Watermelon and Cherry. The piece of candy was colored using Copic Markers BG10 and BG15. I also added a touch of shading on the cupcake using RV13.

Once all of the color was added, I trimmed them out. I did decide to add a touch of sparkle to the lollipop sprinkles using a Ranger Emboss It Pen and Simon Detail Sparkle Embossing Powder. I die cut the Groovy Love You More sentiment once from silver cardstock and cut the shadow portion once from Neenah and adhered those pieces together. I knew that I wanted to add the sub-sentiment, so I stamped that onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set it using Detail White Embossing Powder. The sentiment actually says ‘more than chocolate,’ but I trimmed off the ‘more’ part.

Now that I have all of the elements for the card, I needed to figure out a background. I went ahead and splattered my card base using black acrylic ink and decided on a heart background. I used the Stacked Hearts die and cut that three times and adhered them to the card base, cutting off any extras. I adhered all of the treats using foam strips and then added the sentiments with more foam strips.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! This project is well outside of my comfort zone, but it was a fun project nonetheless. Don’t forget to check out the entire To Be Loved release over on Simon’s website! Thanks again for hanging out with me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
