My first card today combines a sentiment from the new Chocolate set with the coffee beans stamps from our Coffee set and the Coffee Word Die. Awhile ago I saw someone use a pencil eraser around a die cut heart to make a fun stamped heart, so I decided to try it with coffee beans and the Wavy Hearts Die Set. I taped down the heart die cut then stamped over the edges of it in a few different colors, then pulled the die cut up. Next I cut the Wavy Heart in black and embossed the sentiment from Chocolate in white, dusting the edges with white ink too for a chalkboard effect. I layered a pool party and a basic black diecut of the Coffee Word Die below then added a handcut butterfly from the designer paper I used. Perfect for spring and for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop!
For my next project, I made a fun little chocolate bar treat box using the keep calm and eat sentiment from Chocolate, combined with the new Chocolate Word Die. I cut the word die from patterned paper and then coated with a thick layer of glossy glaze for an almost enamel look in real life. The arrow is a piece of resist chipboard that I sponged with distress inks.
That's all from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Next up on the hop is... Amber!

What a cute card!! Love the sayings! Who doesn't like chocolate?
Such lovely colors and elements together!
A "chocolate" die - I'm in love! Beautiful creations, Julee!
Cute, but in my case it's Chocolate not Coffee.
So love the coffee & chocolate sentiments. Thanks for the giveaway
Cute cards!...Gina F
Great card and candy sleeve, Julee! The dies are fabulous!
Gosh, you made two great cards. Love the butterflies on the first one and it looks to be a serious card until you see the word COFFEE! Love it! And the second one is amazing with the great arrow.
The coffee beans around the heart are a cool touch! Fun new set, Julee. Hope all is well with you.

Love the card and treat box! But, as on the box, I would change the 'coffee' to chocolate on the card! Can't stand coffee! But they are both so pretty! Love the butterflies.
Especially like the idea for use with a chocolate bar. Great little gift for a birthday chocolate lover
