More Club Candy


Had these chocolates...and they were pink, so I got into the creative spirit and made another club candy for this month

I used Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White Card Stock
Lg & Sm Tag Punches & Sticky Strip
Crop A Dile & 1-1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon in Pink Pirouette
The image is from last years Valentine set, Happy Heart Day
Basic Black Craft Ink & Embossing Powder
Blender Pen w/Riding Hood Red to color in the line and hearts
I cut the Pink Pirouette to 5X2" and scored it at
1/4, 2-1/4, 2-3/4 & 4-3/4" 
just make sure you work from one end only when measuring 
Trying to figure it all out...

JANUARY SWAP

I tried the bleaching technique on this one...wasn't too happy with the results 'cause I was hoping for more of a white but it's growing on me...

4X4 inch Riding Hood Red & 3.5X3.5 Basic Black Card Stock
The hearts (Always stamp set) were stamped in Craft Basic Black Ink and then embossed with Black Embossing Powder
I used an Aqua Painter and filled it with 1/2 bleach & 1/2 water and then 'painted' where I wanted to pull the color OUT of the Riding Hood Red
Used my Crop A Dile to punch 2 holes and then tied the 2 hearts together with Black Hemp Twine
Also used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the hearts off the page

Here are the ladies SWAP cards

January Club Ladies

Forgot to snag a picture when 4 of the ladies were present...oops! 
Here's the rest hard at work making their Valentines!

Scallop Circle, 1-3/4" Circle, Scallop Edge & Heart to Heart Punch

Stampin' Dimensionals
