Stamped Chocolate Kisses
{this post contains affliate links referencing products used}
When I started this project, I intended {for what is now the bowl.} to be something else but by happy accident it turned into this. I was attempting to make the small ice cream cone/cupcake on Sweet Tooth Boxes and for some reason my cuts were off and the whole project wouldn’t fit together. (Well, Duh..they need to be the same size to fit so- Duh again!) Let’s face it though, the directions on that cartridge are not the easiest to follow.
Bottom of Cupcake Box from Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge used as a candy bowl.
Love my little bowl of Chocolate Serendipity! I’ve learned to never throw out a mistake since It may possible become something else.
This is soo adorable! I love it. I may have to try it. 🙂

Hi Holly! I love love love this! The stamps on the bottom of the candy is so clever, and I love how you turned your ‘mistake’ into a really cute project!! I was laughing about your being upset about wasting paper, I am SO the same way even though I have TONS of it, lol!! I am stopping by from the Getting Cricky linky party and am already a follower 🙂

100% adorable & YUMMY! I’m having a Valentine/dessert party and I am certainly going to do something like this. Thanks for the inspiring and really funny blurb about how you did it. I also have had endless trouble with that cartridge and think Cricut owes us a new one that is correct on sizing!
Creative Wishes,

Like the Valentine Candy Bowl. There was a reason for the mistake and a wonderful one at that. And I see chocolate which you cannot go wrong with.

Holly….AMAZING! I pinned it! Smiles, Jill
Don’t you just love those happy accidents! This one sure came out great. Yes, that cart is a little tricky, and the first time I used it, I was very close to lighting the book on fire and smashing the cart with a hammer. Once you look at thought and figure it out..you do feel like duh!!! Oh well, Im blonde so I have an excuse ;). Love the patterned paper and colors on this. Thanks for joining us over at Whimsical Wednesdays.
Oh my gosh, is that ever cute! Love the little ditties on the bottoms of the kisses! Really, really cute project! Thanks for joining us at Whimsical Wednesdays!

La La La LOVE this project! Thank you SO much for sharing it with us at Paper Issues! I featured you today! =) http://paperissues.blogspot.com/2012/02/chocolate-kisses.html
I want one at my house!
I saw this on the paper issues blog and had to drop by. Your project is so sweet!
This is so cute! Thanks so much for sharing. But…is it my eyes getting older, or is the main font on the page very hard to read? On my computer, the lines of text are overlapping and it drives my eyes crazy. Don’t know if that’s really the way it is, or if that’s the way it comes through on my computer.
Holly, this is such a neat idea! What’s even better, turning a wrecked cut into something awesome!! (hate wasting good double sided paper too) Thanks for the Valentines Idea!!!
