Welcome to the September 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! It’s almost the time of year for all things spooky and fun. And Stampin’ Up! has all you need to make sure your treats are the cutest on the block. So today we’re sharing Halloween treat ideas. I used the Cracker & Treat Box Dies to create a cute little treat holder. I decorated some Designer Series Paper with washi tape, and added Metallic Mesh Ribbon which reminds me of silvery cobwebs. I used the Scary Cute stamp set for the sentiment – I inked only half of the sentiment at a time and stamped onto separate pieces of card stock.
After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!

Nov 8, 2021 | Blog Hop, Cards, Christmas, Gallery, Holiday |
Welcome to the Candy Hearts Blog Hop for November! Today we are sharing Holiday projects. I used the Stockings Dies to make a hobby horse. I remember having one of these when I was very little. It had jingle bells on it. I usually played with it outside, because inside I had my rocking horse. It was on a metal stand with springs, so it didn’t rock so much as it bounced. I would get going so fast that it would scoot across the room. After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!

Welcome to the October 2021 ICS Blog Hop! This month we are featuring our favorite punches. Of course, it’s impossible for me to choose one punch as my favorite. I like them all! But I finally decided to use the Halloween Punch because, you know, it’s October and all. The punch can be purchased alone or in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween stamp set (save 10% when you buy the bundle!)
