Blog Hop! My Dark Side is Chocolate and Scrapbook Adhesives Products

Welcome to our blog hop with Scrapbook Adhesives, makers of quality and creative adhesives!  

Thanks for dropping by today, Jutta here and my project is 

two Quote Magnets with Gift Cards. 

Left -My dark side is chocolate  quote stamp is from a Quietfire Design set of the same name. It is the perfect fit for the quote magnet embellishing the gift card.



And below another quote magnet with the happy Dandelions are sunny highlights for your lawn quote stamp from the Quietfire Design GardenDelights stamp set.

Here is a close up of the Quote Magnets with the fun little 

faux metallic charms made by heat embossing.

Quote Magnet and Gift Card Instructions

For Dandelion Magnet:

First I coloured the Delight Icon Wooden Frame by swiping Milled Lavender Distress Ink on top only.  After ink dried I applied Perfect Medium to Delight Icon Wooden Frame and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This was repeated several times until I had the look I wanted.

Next using Black StazOn Ink I stamped the Dandelion Quote from the Quietfire Design Garden Delights stamp set on a piece of Acetate. When this was dry I used Butterscotch Adirondack Pigment Ink and Gold Ink to stamp image from Stampin Up! on the reverse side of Acetate and in behind quote.

Then I cut the Magnet sheet, DCWV Burlap cardstock and stamped Acetate to 2-1/2” W x 1-3/4” H 

and adhered all layers together with Double sided tape then onto Delight Icon Wooden Frame.

For the bucket and rake faux metal charms I used the 3D Foam Garden Shapes which I heat embossed in silver embossing powder then used a brown permanent marker to color handle on rake. When cooled I attached them to front of Delight Icon Wooden Frame to complete.

For Chocolate Magnet:

First I coloured the front of Delight Icon Wooden Frame with Broken China Distress Stain.  After the stain dried I applied Perfect Medium to frame and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This was repeated several times until I had the look I wanted.

Next with Espresso Adirondack Pigment Ink I stamped My dark side is chocolate  from the Quietfire Design set My dark side is chocolate on a piece of Vellum and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

Then I cut the Magnet sheet, DCWV Burlap cardstock and stamped Vellum to 2-1/2” W x 1-3/4” H. 

and adhered all layers with Double sided tape to Delight Icon Wooden Frame.

For the faux metal heart charms I used 3D Foam Hearts which I heat embossed in gold embossing powder. When cooled I attached them to front of Delight Icon Wooden Frame to complete. 

                     

  

To make gift card for Chocolate quote magnet:

I started with a 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” white cardstock base.

Then cut Patterned paper from Docrafts to 5-1/4” x 4”and antique edges using Antique linen Distress marker blended with a damp water brush.

Next I attached the DCWV Burlap cardstock oval to Patterned paper from Docrafts with E-Z runner tape. Under this I attached the Striped Ribbon with Crafty power tape adding the three pleats as I went along.

I attached the front panel to card base using the E-Z runner. To complete I added the gold cardstock SB diecut to the ribbon and paper with tacky glue. Folded and pleated a paper doily and adhered with 

E-Z runner tape.

To complete I attached the Quote Magnet with a couple of pop dots and added the pearls.

To make gift card for Dandelion quote magnet:

I started with a 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” white cardstock base.

Then cut Patterned paper from Docrafts to 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”and antique edges using Antique linen Distress marker blended with a damp water brush.

Next I ran a strip of Crafty power tape across panel before adding purple glitter to it.

Using Milled Lavender Distress Ink diluted with water I dyed the ribbon which I dried with my heat tool prior to adhering to center and back of panel with E-Z runner tape.

I stamped the Quietfire Design Dotted Harlequin Background stamp on a piece of DCWV Burlap cardstock with Adirondack pigment ink before using the TH Styled Labels Die to cut it out. Then I adhered the label to panel using E-Z runner tape.

To complete I added the Quote Magnet with pop dots.

My Dark side is Chocolate-Set of Three Cravings

Robyn here, with sticky fingers!

Love, love, love this set of stamps.

Here is my ATC take on them.
The quote is thermal embossed on top of Picket Fence Distress stain with Versafine Sepia ink.
I had to eat two chocolate bars to get the collage material!

I made a plastic template for this card cause I liked it so much.
Again the quote is thermal embossed with Versafine. Lots of Distress inks and the new Metallic Stains- hard to see in the scan


Here it is opened.

This card has a flap over the cookie that opens to say courage- to eat or not to eat, I'll leave that up to you!

Only one bag of mini chocolate chips died for these cards!

The tag for the quote started as a Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio , then I took a bite( LOL) out of it to make it fit.

Enjoy your cravings for chocolate cookies and new stamps!
The most unhealthy thing to eat is guilt!
