I’ve been having a fun day playing with some of the product that arrived a few days ago – as you saw, it was a large box! And I was having so much fun, that I forgot to write a blog post until now! So here’s one I made this morning using the More Than Chocolate stamp set. A reminder of my box…

The mini dimensionals are awesome – they are perfect for putting on the paper pierce tool and just nudging under the edge of a already popped up sentiment to give a little more sturdiness. And I love the fresh fig 1/8 inch sheer ribbon that you can see in the box. As you can see from the card that I’m sharing.

I used fresh fig for the chocolate box and the sentiment – and it’s a great sentiment. And so true! And then I decided to go for monochromatic chocolates – just stamped in early espresso and left the decorative swirls on the top for another time. I really like how clean this makes it and it meant that I could add a bow in the new fresh fig ribbon without the card being overpowered. This is a really fun set – I just started adding chocolates at random, filling in the spaces as I went. My first play had the chocolates too regimented, I much prefer this irregular look.

I matted the very vanilla with a piece of early espresso just 1/8 inch large so there’s teeny tiny border which mimics the thickness of the chocolate box and left a wide border showing of the fresh fig card base.
