Chocoholic

Okay.... I admit it.... I am a chocoholic... and I had to have the Chocoholic digital stamp set from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.




Don't these chocolates look yummy? You get this image and some other wonderful, chocolaty images in the Chocoholic digital stamp set.

I used Chocoholic Sentiments on the inside of my card.



Have a great day! I am off to find some chocolate.

Live, Love, eat chocolate!

It's Erika Martin again.....hard to believe this month as a guest designer went by so fast! But....I'll be back for a couple more sneak peeks from the new clear stamps that Sweet n' Sassy is debuting!

Even though I'm a pretty healthy girl and do lots of walking and exercise, chocolate is my luxury item. While I don't eat it as proficiently as I used to, I love using it as a reward for myself. Hey, after all, chocolate comes from a bean, so it's vegetarian and healthy for you, right? *wink*

The images from the Chocoholic set are right up my alley (and in my tummy, too). I chose the cupcake to work with and printed out two of them to color in with Copic markers. I added some glitter to the heart sprinkles on top for some pop. I trimmed them out with precision tip scissors.
I chose teal cardstock for my card base and pink cardstock to layer on top. I used some patterned paper for layers and punched out the "XOXO" image from the paper (because I LOVE chocolate, in case you hadn't already figured that out). The sentiment comes from the Chocoholic Sentiments set.

Now I'm hungry for chocolate. I think I need to treat myself. And if it weren't for the fact that I already have someone picked out for this card to go to, I'd send it to myself! haha!

Cocoa's Chocolates

It's Erika Martin.....and I'm back with some chocolate!

I'm a girl that loves my chocolate. Dark chocolate is my favorite but I've never met a chocolate I didn't like. This Cocoa's Chocolates image is so adorable...I love the way he seems to be protecting his chocolate. More than chocolate, though, I'm also a girl that loves her family and friends so there are times when I feel like those days without the people I love the most are like a day without my favorite sweet.

Today happens to be my husband's 35th birthday and a day without him IS like a day without chocolate so this card will be his birthday card today. Good thing my hubby doesn't mind all the pink!

I printed my images onto vanilla cardstock and colored the Cocoa image in with watercolor pencils, though I didn't blend the colors with any water. I mounted the image onto dark brown cardstock. The base card is actually a 5 x 5 card since I printed my images out rather large. I did the base with a light brown cardstock and adhered patterned paper strips onto it.

The greeting was printed from the Chocoholic Sentiments set. I mounted it on top of a light pink patterned paper and then on top of the card with pop-dots. I added a couple tiny pink buttons to set it off.

And now I've gone and made myself hungry for a chocolate! How about you?
