CASology #115



I was floored when Melissa emailed me and asked if I would be the guest designer at CASology this week.  After I picked myself up off the floor, I emailed her back and said I'd be delighted.  Then I saw the cue word.


What am I going to do with that?  I love to eat chocolate.  In fact, some would say I'm a chocoholic.  But to make a card about it and with my limited stamp supply.  That was going to take some thinking.  I laid in bed early one morning and the idea came to me.  Now if I could only pull it off.  I played around with the elements and this is the final result.


I die cut a triangle from MFT and used my corner chomper on the bottom two edges.  A little scissor adjustment on the sides and some foil and it looks like a Hershey's kiss.  Yay! Just what I was going for.  Now for the little paper tag.  I tried a couple of other sentiments embossed in different colors on vellum but this one seemed the right font and a perfect saying.  It's stamped in HA navy and clear embossed.

What would you do with the word "chocolate"?  Go on over to CASology and check out what the design team did.  Let them inspire you, then make a card of your own and enter it into the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by.  I love reading your comments so I hope you leave one.

How creative! The sentiment is perfect!

This is so fabulous. What an incredible way to do chocolate without the actual stamp. Like I have said before, the most creative ideas often come when we don't have the right stamps. So wonderful to have you as our Guest Designer at CASology this week.

Bobby, I'm so happy you were able to guest design with us! Your card is absolutely brilliant! :) Now I just might have to go buy myself some of those chocolate kisses (against my better judgment)!
