For The Love of Chocolate



Today is the 10th and the day we are to post our Stamp What? challenge with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me! We started this in January of 2020, so we are now well into our second year of this fun challenge.  Kelly came up with the challenge to randomly pick a Stampin' Up set and make a card with that set.  Get the dust off of those forgotten Stampin' Up sets! 

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the For The Love of Chocolate set!  The year on the stamps is 2002, so it will be 20 years old next year.  This is one set I will never part with!

I stamped the huge candy Kiss with Basic Gray and fussy cut it out.  I layered it on a circle I die cut from Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitched Circles.  The patterned paper in the background is from a Stampin' Up 6x6 pack called Have A Cuppa--I love the the tiny hearts.  There is a layer of Bindakote Silver Cardstock to give the card a bit of shine!  I added some silver elastic cording under one of the sentiments from the same set.   A few Taylored Expressions Black Drip Drops complete the card.  



Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the patterned paper:



I like the look of my card this month and I hope you do too.  Be sure to check out Jeanette and Kelly's cards.  I am sure they have some fun cards with those "oldies but goodies" stamp sets by Stampin' Up!  And be sure to check back every month on the 10th to see what we create!
