My first post

A very original post title!

I'll start with a photo of the latest thing i made.
This is a Chocolate Valentine/Anniversary card and yes it does actually have chocolate in it and you can eat it, just the chocolate part though.
Ingredients - one 5" card, one divine milk chocolate advent calendar, one spare piece of denim, stamp & embossing powder.
Firstly open up the advent calendar and cut out one of the pieces  of chocolate keeping the plastic & foil around the heart intact.
Secondly cut a small square from the centre of the card, larger than the chocolate, but smaller than the plastic surround.
Next find a stamp that has a design that fits around the chocolate, i used  a limited edition free hostess gift from www.particraft.co.uk Stamp and emboss this onto a piece of denim or other fabric.
Fourthly cut a heart shaped hole in the centre of the denim and assemble as shown in the picture.

If you don't want to make your own, I have a shop www.folksy.com/shops/JDArt where you can also see some of my other creations. More additions to come.

bye for now, Julia
