Valentine’s Day Ghirardelli Candy Holder
I initially posted this Valentine’s Day treat idea in February last year. It’s had so many hits on Pinterest this past month (over 50,000 impressions!) that I decided to re-post it so that you will have complete instructions on how to create these at home. It’s the perfect little chocolate gift decorated Stampin’ Up! style! The most important tool is the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
- Begin with card stock that measures 2″ x 7-1/2″. Score at 3-5/8″ and 3-7/8″, so either side of center to make the gusset.
- Then punch both ends of your card stock with the Topper Punch. Decorate as you wish, or follow my design.
- I love the sweet hearts from the Adorning Accents embossing folder.
- I grabbed an oldie but goodie stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment.
- You’re going to LOVE embossing the Gold and Silver Foil Sheets! Here I used the Fasionable Hearts Embosslits, but I’m thinking I’ll be doing this a lot in the future with the embossing folders.
- Chocolates are tied up with Pink Pirouette Taffeta Ribbon and Gold Baker’s Twine.
- Add a sweet little Vanilla Candy Dot to one of the hearts and you’re done!
Here’s a close-up of one of them:
And what’s inside? Yum! Just hold it in place with a bit of SNAIL. Of course, my card stock just had to match the Ghirardelli dark chocolate and raspberry packaging!

Just Because
Here are some great products that are in the 2013-14 Annual Catalog but are also carrying into the 2014-15 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You’re able to purchase all of these products now, but if you need to wait a little bit, you can also purchase most of them after June 2nd. It’s a quick & easy card, with very few steps and a nice, clean look.
- I love using a double layer of Whisper White cardstock to set off the look of an easy card. Be sure to set the top layer apart by using lots of Dimensionals. I don’t use Sahara Sand much for a neutral, but I think I’m going to start – it was the perfect color! I cut the Sahara Sand cardstock rectangle using my Stampin’ Trimmer with the Rotary Addition and the Scallop Cutting Blade. It creates a nice delicate edge to all four sides.
- The flower is created with three punches – Blossom Punch for the largest, Pansy Punch for the Daffodil Delight layer and a 3/4″ Circle Punch for the center. You’ll find the designer papers in the following packets – Tangerine Tango from the Brights Collection Paper Stack, Daffodil Delight from Quatrefancy Specialty papers (which is retiring June 1st) and the Pacific Point polka dot, also from the Brights Collection Paper Stack.
- I use A Dozen Thoughts stamp set so much, and the “just because” sentiment is one of my favorites. You can see this versatile set used in a get well card HERE.
- Candy Dots have become my “go to” accessory – they’re easy to use, very affordable and travel well in an envelope. These are all from the Brights Collection Candy Dots.
UPDATE: I just realized that the Quantrefancy Designer Series Paper is 50% off now through June 4th while supplies last! Item No. 130141 $12.95 now just $6.48!
Don’t Forget!

Guest Designer Teresa Chavez
Today I want to share with you a super masculine card from one of my team members, Teresa Chavez. I absolutely love her clever use of the Hexagon Punch to make hardware! And using Stampin’ Up! grid paper for the front of the card – fantastic idea! And the Epic Day Washi Tape looks like fancy masking tape!
Teresa says, “I punched the circle first then lined up the hexagon punch. I put shapes face down on silver stamp pad, tapped on it a few times then picked it off and adhered it to the card. I saw the original idea in a Papercrafts magazine but the card design and inking is my own.”
Item No. 130919 Hexagon Punch $15.05
Item No. 119873 3/4″ Circle Punch $12.95
Item No. 130148 Grid Paper (100 sheets) $10.85
Item No. 132142 Silver Metallic Encore Ink $9.95
Item No. 131269 Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape $4.95

Nature’s Hello
Remember THIS CARD from a few days ago? I've used the same sketch to create the card today – isn't it funny how different two cards can look even when they begin basically the same?!
- Nature's Hello is one of my favorite hostess-exclusive stamp sets ever! I love the images, and it coordinates with both the Secret Garden and the Backyard Basics Framelits.
- I've used a fresh, modern color scheme of Smokey Slate, Bermuda Bay, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black and Whisper White.
- Corner rounding is the name of the game on this card – I used the Envelope Punch Board, my favorite new corner rounder! Spend just $19.95 to get a two-in-one tool!
- I punched into the Smokey Slate cardstock background before adhering it to the Whisper White card base.
- The Bermuda Bay cardstock took a ride through the Big Shot with the Arrow Embossing Folder before I adhered it to the front.
- I used a strip of Basic Black Designer Series Paper across my card, but you could substitute that with a strip of ribbon or washi tape.
- I love Stampin' Up!'s Silver Buttons – they lay nice and flat for easy mailing. I ran a piece of 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon through the center holes and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
- The main image is stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Tangerine Tango ink then cut out with a Secret Garden framelit.
- Three Basic Black Candy Dots create a pretty center for the flower.

Another Great Year with Flowers
Once again, Stampin' Up!'s beautiful designer papers have come to the rescue with a beautiful color palette for my card today. I've used a piece of designer paper from the Birthday Basics collection, then set about to make some flowers in Summer Starfruit, Crisp Cantaloupe, Raspberry Ripple, Island Indigo and Gumball Green.
Another Great Year is a super fun birthday stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2014 Occasions Catalog There are so many components that I'm sure I'll be showing you what else you can do with this set in another post. Here, I've just used one of the sentiment stamps and stamped it in Basic Gray ink. Here are all of the images you'll receive when you order Another Great Year:
I let the flowers on this card do the "wow" work. Flowers are punched with the Pansy Punch and the Petite Petals Punch (which I'm afraid is on backorder right now), and the greenery is cut out with the Big Shot and the Secret Garden Framelits. XL Rhinestones set off the centers.

Retro Sending Good Thoughts
This year's Occasions Catalog has had so many fun new products! And true to form, Stampin' Up! has given us terrific coordination in its products!
- One of the biggest hits has been the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Make your tag any length you want. Just cut your cardstock to a smidge less than 2" wide, insert it into the punch tray and punch.
- Sentiment comes from Perfect Pennants and is the perfect thing to say to someone! Here I've stamped in Baked Brown Sugar ink on the tag, then stamped again on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Tangerine Tango ink, then adhered it with Dimensionals to highlight the word "good".
- Our color scheme is set with the Retro Fresh Designer Paper – Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango and Very Vanilla. I folded down the top 1/2" of the Designer Paper to reveal the other side then tacked it in place using two Candy Dot Brad Bases with So Saffron Candy Dots from the Subtles Dots.
- The Naturals Chevron Ribbon and Coastal Cabana Stretch Trim look so pretty topping the tag.
-
I used two other punches for this card. There's a Baked Brown Sugar cardstock Triangle Punch to the left side of the tag, and the Chevron Punch decorates the bottom of the tag with Coastal Cabana cardstock punch-outs.
Don't Forget!
- Sale-A-Bration continues for this month only, with a FREE gift for each increment of $50 you spend. View the Sale-A-Bration flyer HERE.

Birthday Simple Stems
I decided to combine the old with the new for this card using Simple Stems stamp set along with Cycle Celebrations stamp for the sentiment. This pretty designer paper called Birthday Basics has such terrific colors – Gumball Green, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Raspberry Ripple.
- A little paper piercing around the circle adds some extra interest.
- I used Finishing Touches Edgelits to cut the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock at the bottom.
- The new Petite Petals Punch is a must and looks cute with a Raspberry Ripple Dahlia in the center.
Don't Forget!

Hexagon Hive Thank You
I'm in LOVE with the new Hexagon Hive Thinlit! The possibilities are endless with this great new tool in the Occasions Catalog. I'm thinking of a plan for all of the Very Vanilla hexagons that were cut out of this card!
- HELPING HINT: When creating your "sandwich" for the Big Shot, use the platform, then your cutting pad, then your cardstock, then a piece of waxed paper, then the die, then your last cutting pad. By putting in the waxed paper, your cardstock will pop right out.
- Black and Vanilla are such a classic look and the Modern Medley Designer Paper is just that – all prints in black and vanilla which are so usable! I love the little pop of color – Strawberry Slush for the flowers and Pool Party for the butterflies.
- The flower comes from two wonderful coordinating products – Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy Punch. I just stamped two then used a Dimensional between them to add a nice focal point.
- Center of the flower is a Basic Metal Button, also from the Occasions Catalog, with Pool Party Twine in the center. This, along with many other products, can be yours during Sale-A-Bration completely free with a qualifying order! And don't forget your Glue Dots to hold the button in place.
- Butterflies come from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. This isn't a new product, but I continue to use it over and over. This great tool die cuts and embosses the butterflies with one pass through the Big Shot.
- Sentiment comes from Six-Sided Sampler stamp set – there are three that would work on the Hexagon Hive cardstock.

Simple Stems Just for You
Simple Stems stamp set just might prove to be one of my favorites in the 2014 Occasions Catalog! Here I've paired it with some older and newer products to give it a different look.
- Quatrefancy Designer Paper gives me a bright, fun color scheme of Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush and Pool Party.
- The new Petite Petals Punch is perfect for a little accent – don't forget the Daffodil Delight Candy Dot!
-
I pulled out an oldie but goodie stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes for the "just for you" sentiment.
Adding Dimensionals to your layers really makes a difference in your card making. Be sure to pop up the Pool Party 2-3/8" Scallop piece as well as the main flower image.
