I was very excited to see the new CASology Cue Card this week. CHOCOLATE is already on my mind this week as I am almost elbow deep in chocolate today.
My daughter's 11th birthday is tomorrow and I made her favorite chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows for her to bring in and share with her class. I won't say how many I had to sample in order to make sure the quality was good. :) But trust me, they are delish!
For my card I started with a chocolate ice cream cone. I heat embossed the brown card stock in brown to give it a shiny look. Wish the photo could better show you its glossiness. But then I thought the ice cream cone was a bit lonely and could use some company so I made a shaker card with some sprinkles from the Make It Market kit.
I tried to keep the card clean and simple keeping all the elements in the middle with plenty of white space around it.
Twas my first time making a shaker out of just a plain old die (vs the special shaker dies in the kit) and wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Shaker cards generally take me WAY longer than regular cards but they are so fun and the recipient always loves it. This card is for my 3 year old niece's birthday this coming weekend. I think she'll get a kick out of this card!
One last parting chocolate thought....have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
Fabulous birthday card. Love the combination of chocolate and sprinkles. Your party treats look delicious, too. Lucky girl to have a mom like you who is so generous with her chocolate. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
