Card candy….?

THIS JUST IN: New Glittered Skittles in bunches of fab colors are now in stock at Pez-A-Doodle. Also new Printed Skittles. Oh man, I can just go and get me a pack of Skittles and get my mouth all watery starin’ at these super hot colors and patterns!

OK, on to my post….so am I the last person on the planet to hear of such a thing? Card candy. Candy of cards. Peculiar little moniker, no? Now I don’t even know what the definition of card candy is, but from what I’ve gathered, it’s essentially pre-made embellies for cards. The cool thing is that sometimes when we’re making cards and we need a lil’ something besides the same ol’ Prima flower (beautiful though it may be), we want something different and all we have is more of the same. Card candy – especially the exchanged kind – is that lil’ something different you might be looking for.

So what I’ve made is a little set of heart card candy. If you are submitting cards to pubs, you know that right now you should be working on Valentine cards. So I had Valentines on my mind – but I reckon hearts can be used for anniversaries and weddings and other special occasions as well. I used some leftover pieces of Paper Temptress paper, ran them through the Big Shot with my Swiss Dots embossing folder, punched them out with my large EK Success heart punch, and then embellished with German Scrap, Pez-A-Bling, Glittered Skittles and Studio G Glitter Glue. Almost forgot – each one of these has a lil’ dimensional on the back of it for you to adhere it.

I then packaged them up in a little glassine bag that I ran through the Big Shot with my Heart Blocks embossing folder, tied with some ribbon and linen thread from SU! with a lil’ taggie made with Studio G Series 26 and Series 32 goodness and accented that with some more Pez-A-Bling.

Want this lil’ package to come your way? Just hook yourself up to the Mister Linky widget below. I’m doing this instead of comments because someone might want to leave a comment to say hello, but might not really be interested in the card candy – – might not be their style or whatever, it’s all good *wink* Remember – we’re leaving on vacation tomorrow morning so it’s going to be a longggg time before this comes your way. I’ll announce the winner soon though – you just won’t get it for a while.

Happy Friday to you!

    Love the new header, but it's making me hungry.
    I really like the embossing on the cards and bag.
    My mom made a card w/the Valentine conversation hearts for my dad when they were dating. I guess that's card candy in it's truest form. Yours will probably hold up better.
