Using My Stash to Create a Fast Card

 

I had lots of extra candies left over from creating my Valentine's Day Cards with Tim Holtz True Love.  I decided to use my basic stash and create some cards that can be used for Birthdays and Thank you Cards.  It is another way to stretch my stash!  I am always looking for ways to get the most of of my supplies.  How about you?  I hope this provides some inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Cards 2025

 

 

I had a grand time putting together Tim Holtz True Love die set.  It was fun to make my own candies and use those traditional colors of Valentines (pink, red and white).  I added a little gold too.  I used glossy accents to give the candy a realistic look.  Plus, I add some sprinkles, hearts and XO embellishments that I normally use for shakers.  The background is embossed.  I flipped the embossing so it was subtle.  I also added a little Washi tape that is peaking out from behind.  The inside says "Your the Sweetest, Happy Heart Day!"  I made 11 of these cards to spread joy for Valentine's Day.   These cards are 5x7 because  I wanted more real estate to show on the card.  I am also excited because I made more candies to use on upcoming Birthday cards!  Who does not smile when they receive chocolate?  I love chocolate and receiving it as a gift makes me smile! I consider Chocolate a food category (LOL)! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic Heart Day!
