Have you had enough Chocolate this month?  I haven't!  I just love this month's Stamp of the Month! It's a keeper among my hundreds of stamp sets! Here is another card I created with A Chocolate Affair (August Stamp of the Month) with the Babycakes Paper (X7173B) . I used Close To My Heart's new Scallop Border Punch (Z1851) to create my border.  To create my multi-color cupcake I used the masking technique. I used Creme Brulee, Chocolate and White Daisy Pigment Ink to stamp my cupcake.  I added Mocha Opaque Adhesive (Z1333)  gems to the topping. A Chocolate Affair is only available until August 31st! AND.... you can get it for FREE with a $50 purchase from Close To My Heart!  How SWEET IS THAT??!!! Shop my website today and get your FREE stamp!   www.stampinheaven.ctmh.com

I have another card to share that I created with this set.   Again I used the Babycakes Paper (X7173B) .  This stripe just makes me think "Ice Cream Parlor".   So I thought it was a great background for the Sundae in this set. To create my yummy sundae, First I created my dish.  I used 2nd generation stamping Slate Ink and then rolled the edge to get a darker color.  Kind of makes the glass 'shine'.   I added Liquid Applique (Z308)  where the Ice Cream would be.   I stamped the chocolate topping and cut it out and placed on top of the ice cream adding a 'cherry' red sparkle to the top.  The shimmer on the topping is Stardus...

Yesterday I held my annual Autumn Winter Open House.  It was so much fun and I had several people stop by to check out the new products from the Autumn Winter Idea Book!  If you missed my Open House, here are a few shots from yesterday! This month's Stamp of the Month is called "A Chocolate Affair" so it was only appropriate that I had a Chocolate Theme going on! This is the Make & Take area: Everyone got to create the card I shared for the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - "Chocolate Understands".  Details for this card can be found HERE .  I displayed a couple of other options on our new Designed Decor Black Frame (Z1880).   I created the frame's title using the new Framework Alphabet (E1027) stamp .  This is a new favorite! I also used then new Corner Rounder (Z1912) to create the scalloped edge.    Here is a closer look: Check out the new Hair Clip (Z1876) !  I used it as an accent to my frame!  This is ...
