Today’s project is made with several retiring products: World’s Best Trophy stamp set, Archival Basic Black ink pad, and card stock in Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, and Soft Sky. Chocolate Chip is the perfect reddish brown color for a cigar. I wrapped it around large rolls of Sweetarts candies. The cigar bands are strips of card stock with 1″ punched circles. I didn’t have a stamp set that included “boy,” although there are a few that have the word “girl.” So I used the “son” and “daughter” from the World’s Best Trophy stamp set. These make great party favors for a baby shower. You can change the band color and sentiment for any occasion.
You can see everything that is retiring HERE. Everything is available through May 31, or while supplies last.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Chocolate Chip card stock (CS) cut to 3″ x 7-1/4″ (one for each cigar)
- Pink Pirouette CS cut to 3″ x 3/4″
- Soft Sky CS cut to 3″ x 3/4″
Stamped with the World’s Best Trophy stamp set:
- son in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Soft Sky CS
- daughter in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Pink Pirouette CS
Cut using the 1″ Circle Punch:
- both sentiments
Assembled the cigars:
- burnished the Chocolate Chip CS pieces, and both of the CS strips, with a Bone Folder to soften and curl them
- wrapped the Chocolate Chip CS pieces around rolls of SweetTarts candy and secured using Tear & Tape
- wrapped the CS strips around the cigars and secured using Tear & Tape
- adhered the punched sentiments onto the cigar bands using Tear & Tape

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
These are adorable – you’re so creative!
Thanks, Jackie! I did see the general idea on Pinterest, but of course, I had to change it up.
You are so clever – loved seeing these fun cigars for a baby party. You are right that the reddish tones of Chocolate Chip play well to the look of a cigar. <3
Thanks, Brian! The Archival ink is very rich. I did add just a couple drops of water to help spread it around.
I know, right? I may have to save some Chocolate Chip card stock just in case someone I know has a baby shower in the future.
