Another Stamp Club Project - Heart Treat Cups

This is the other project I had for my Stamp Club this month. It uses the new Heart Treat Cups and the coordinating Sweetheart stamp set. Quantities of the Heart Treat Cup are limited so if you're looking for a cute Valentine project you will need to order these right away. More will be available after Valentine's Day. Wouldn't these be cute for a wedding favor or bridal shower? Just thinking... Order them from my Stampin' Up! website. Look for the Shop Now button in the upper right corner.



Stamps: Sweetheart
Cardstock: Orchid Opulence, Barely Banana, Whisper White, Shades of Spring DSP
Ink: Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Pinking Hearts Border, 1 3/8" circle, Full Heart punches, Whisper White Satin ribbon, Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings embosslits die, Big Shot!, Paper snips, glue dots.

This is a standard size card. The base is 4 1/4"x 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". The ribbon holds the card open.

Pull the tab out to expose the candy through the hole in the back of the card. That way you don't have to tear the card apart to get to the candy. Hmmm...chocolate...handmade card...it's a tough decision - thus the hole in the back gives you the best of both!
