This looks more like the York that I love... but the other is more elegant... hummm
So - a sweet challenge to start my week. Finding my embossing gun was impossible (where oh where did I place that thing??). I called a friend and snagged her gun to whip out these cards - the last day of the challenge (ever the procrastinator... lol). I'm not a big Chocolate fan - if I do have some it's usually covering something of strength (Like York's Pep Patties or Reeses's Peanut Butter cups).
I thought... humm - I've missed my updating to the blog I'll do double duty and make these 10 minute cards!! So they ALL are!! Starting with my Silver duo - it's such a quick and easy card!! Stamping w/ Versa Mark the trees across the bottom of a Silver card stock. The card is longer than the stamp so I just kept the image going and re stamped the image towards the end... I embossed w/ Silver powder (don't you just love this look?).
Torn - I snagged some Brilliant Blue paper and embossed the sentiment with White. I then made the 'flagged' ends w/ my snips and then with the SNAIL adhesive I made it look like it was blowing in the wind.
I then snagged our white Organza ribbon and tied it on with a lil swish of a double knot. I then Stamped the sentiment with Brilliant Blue on the ribbon. I like the elegance of this look... but as my hubby pointed out - the blue with white embossed looks more like the York.
NOW... knowing I love Reeses, too... I snagged my Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun papers. I cut the Chocolate Chip and punched the edge. I than ran thru the crimper. (I think it looks like the wrapper the cup is in - don't you??) I then adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie paper (John said the Only Orange would have been better - but I didn't mind... it was more my desired paper look.)
I then stamped the Tree on the Summer Sun paper in Chocolate Chip. Using the Pumpkin Pie I stamped the leaves to look like that of fall leaves. I flicked the edges in Chocolate Chip ink to look like the writing 'Reeses' on the wrapper. I stamped 'Give Thanks' on top - and finished it off by adhering the tree w/ Stampin Dimensionals.
Simple, Easy, Elegant cards - 10 minutes or less each!! I hope you are inspired - now whip out your favorite candies and make a card to two... or three... Have a SWEET day!! ~ J
(My BFF answered when asked which she liked best... 'You know I'm not one for Mint... I like the one that represented the Reeses...' she was the First to reply the Taste Point of View..)
