Hi, crafty friends. I have some chocolate for you today. Well, a paper chocolate, featuring the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cows digi stamp set from Streamside Studios. This set has five cute cows, a chocolate bar and a bunch of other little accessories that you can use. I replaced the heart and the text on the wrapper for my chocolate, and put one of the cows there instead. This sort of mimics a Stratos chocolate bar, and that’s the look I was going for.

I colored my chocolate bar with Copics and fussy cut right up against the black stamp lines. Most of these lines are straight, which made it super easy to use a steel ruler and a craft knife to get precise cuts.

The Stratos cow is a very happy blue card, so it’s not entirely the same, but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch with the blue wrapper and the cow on the card.

I created the card base from Something Blue cardstock from My Favorite Things. I used the Angled Mosaic 3D embossing folder from Altenew to give it some texture and interest.

I used the Watercolor Wash Free Form die from My Favorite Things and die cut from white cardstock. I think the free form makes it look like spilled milk, and it was the perfect grounding element for the chocolate.

I used the Sweet Sentiments die set from Altenew to die cut the sentiment. I stacked four die cuts of each word for strength and dimension, the top one from Ballet Slipper cardstock from Concord & 9th, added the sentiment to the card and finished off with a few sequins from the She’s So Lovely mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

Simple color palette.
