Valentine Treats

Another holiday laced with chocolate and other sweets! We're barely over Christmas and now we're overdosing on sugar once again. And I'm aiding and abetting.

You'll notice that I used the rub-ons Stampin' Up! offered for a limited time on the cello bag toppers and even on one of the bags itself (I'd have done that on all of them if I'd thought of it sooner).

But the new twist for candy was the use of the petal cone die as a candy-filled ornament. I should probably have taken an even closer shot of these, but I think you can tell what they look like from this shot. After punching a hole in the front of the cone with the 1-inch circle punch, I backed it with a piece of window sheet. Each scallop frame is somewhat different--one is punched from retired designer series paper, while the others are punched from this year's dsp. However, on one of them, I first stamped the scallop image from the Love You Much stamp set. Punching the center from that with my 1-inch circle punch helped me center the whole in the scallop circle. I was off-center on one, so I added the little heart-shaped piece of card stock to disguise the imbalanced effect.
