It's still making me giggle looking at it! If you are not from the UK, you might not have come across Cadbury's chocolate. It is a scummy yummy 'everyday' kind of chocolate bar. When I lived in Europe, I noticed that the concept of a chocolate bar to snack on didn't really exist as such; chocolate was more a luxury treat. And sorry my American friends, but it beats Hershey's hands down!
The letters were cut out using my Timeless Type alphabet dies... I'm really putting them through their paces this week... and mounted onto Concord Crush card, the closest purple to Cadbury's purple. The fold of the card is like a Shadow Box card, with each end scored twice and then stuck together to give the dimension to fit the chocolate bar in on the back piece of card. The chocolate is attached with a bit of double-sided tape. I have, as the sentiment suggests, secured acetate over the aperture.
Supplies
Card: Concord Crush, Whisper White
Other: acetate, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies, Simply Scored board, chocolate bar
The card is ever so easy to make, and I'm sure it will go down well with its recipient, but there is one major drawback... I got so tempted by making a card incorporating a chocolate bar, I just had to go and help myself to a bar to munch on while working!
I'd like to enter it into the 'anything goes' challenges at Try It On Tuesday and Paper Crafting Journey.
I'm continuing the culinary theme with today's picture:
you rock,you are awesome

This is fabulous Victoria!! Had a Dairy Milk myself this evening! Nudge Nudge Wink Wink - you know what I mean!! NOT for THAT reason!!
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is my kind of card! I am addicted to chocolate. This is a brilliant idea for a card & one that would be perfect for about anyone. I couldn't believe your post when you said people in Europe don't snack on chocolate bars! That is unbelievable!! Yes, Cadbury chocolate IS a great chocolate. I agree. But I still can't resist a good old Hershey with almonds!
ReplyDeleteThis is great Victoria - you're so clever! I love twirl bars - chocolate, chocolate, chocolate and nothing else! I keep mine in the freezer - yep even in winter. x
ReplyDeleteThis is one of your American followers who is well aware of Cadbury's. We have it here in the States. Of course, I first discovered it when I was an exchange student at Cambridge. You're absolutely correct that it beats Hershey's. But then, nearly everything does! Love this idea for a thank you card, Victoria. Needless to say, I really like the purple. :-D
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the cat -- carrots aren't exactly the tom things on my menu, either. lol
A really Delicious card, so clever love it. Thank you for joining us on the TIOT challenge. Hugs Bee
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I'm sure your friend will love it. Maybe there's another tutorial coming up?
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! You are right - Cadbury is the BEST chocolate you can get. I couldn't live without it lol. This is an awesome card that you have made and a terrific idea xx
ReplyDeleteWell, this has got to be the BEST card anyone could hope to get! We do have Cadbury's over here, too, most prominently around Easter with their delish chocolate eggs! At least, I assume it's the same company. Congrats on reaching 100 followers!!

Choctastic card there Victoria.
ReplyDeleteIf I'd made it, my photo would have shown the emergency (like breaking a nail)had already occurred and the card would be minus the Twirl! You had forethought and brought a lucky spare back-up Twirl!
Have a great weekend.
Hugs

Hi Victoria, thanks ever so much for making this card for me (hee, hee). I am a real chocoholic and have virtually been without this past week - the best I could find in NY were mint M&Ms (yum). Isn't a Twirl the best chocolate fix - absolutely fabby card. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea (insomniac creativity rules!) - and beautifully executed! You should offer it to Cadbury's as an ad campaign!!

This is a great idea, so please you joined us at TioT.

Hi Victoria - just found your blog so thought I would check it out. Your card is scrumptious! The colour is exactly the same as my new laptop - deeeelicious. You have some gorgeous projects on here.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help noticing all the cat pictures - lurve cats to bits so I felt as if I had found a good blog!!!!
I must admit to being a new blogger - have had my own blog for just over a week - corr I sound well seasoned don't I. Anyway I would love you to pop over and take a peep - my blog is Planet Susie (I'm usually in me own little world) and the address is susiesplanetblogspot.co.uk. Am just going to add my name to your list of followers.
