Slimline Chocolate Strawberries

Hello, friends! Lindsey here with another Valentine card showcasing the new Valentine Mug Additions. Once you start creating with these new dies, you are not going to want to stop! The creative options are endless! I must have had Christmas baking still on my mind, because I decided to go all out with my strawberry decorating on my next card. It was all the fun of baking, but a whole lot less messy. ;)

I created milk and white chocolate coated and sugar dusted strawberries and candies. Some are sprinkled with confetti made with the tiny hearts in the Valentine Mug Additions dies and others are sprinkled with the Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti.

I also wanted to show some of the fun ways these dies mix and match. For instance, the chocolate drizzle is equally good for adorning the candies as well as the strawberries. The whipped cream dollop can also double as a meringue cookie. 

A bit more about how this card came together.  I started with a white card base then added a second layer, blending on pink stripes using the Pinstripe Stencil. Next, I framed the striped panel with two layers of the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies. A happy discovery was that the second smallest square in the new Wonky Stitched Square Dies fits perfectly inside the windows.  

I popped up my sugary treats with dimensional foam and finished my card off with a fitting sentiment from the new XOXO stamp set. 

I hope that this card inspired you to play around with the options of these new dies. They really are so fun!
