Sweet Treat


The Crafting Chicks had the cutest individualized bite-sized candies posted on their blog  last week and I knew I had to make some. No, it doesn't involve reinventing the wheel, (or harder yet, making candies), just altering the outside of those individually wrapped chocolates using a small punched out Valentine sentiment. 

The blog post has the instructions and even the printable for the candy so I won't reproduce them here, however, I did mine with a twist. After I downloaded the printable (available at the bottom of Crafting Chicks blog post), I increased the image size just a bit in Photoshop so that I could punch the printables to fit candies that are just a little larger than bite-sized. Plus, I wanted to make a couple of magnets from them too and that requires the use of a 1" punch. Oh yeah, I don't have a 3/4' punch and I'll alter ideas whenever possible to use what I already have on hand. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit The Crafting Chicks for the instructions and the free download.


Happy Creating
