For the Love of Truffles
Happy Thursday, readers! I think the list of women that don’t like chocolate would be really short. Unfortunately, fortunately, I’m not on that list! Ha! Our pal and guest on today’s blog, Sandy Allnock captures this love so well with a bit of Copic coloring on today’s blog. Enjoy!
Enabler alert! If you are inspired by this video this is a great time to try some Copic Markers! The sale isn’t going to last much longer!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Sandy Allnock here with another little bit of coloring fun. It’s almost Valentine’s Day – are you ready yet? Got something for your sweetie? Or better yet, have you dropped enough hints for your sweetie to know what treats you’re hoping for? *grin*
For today’s card, I put some of my favorite treats on a card – truffles! Maybe these are cupcakes, but I’m going to picture them being deep dark chocolate truffles from Cupcake Royale in Seattle! Oh man. They make the most delectable treats! Anyway, I digress, it’s so easy to get distracted by sweets! My card is a round one using Lacey Circle dies, and uses the Labeled with Love stamp set made right here at Simon Says – such a fun set with not only Valentine sentiments but lots of loveydovey fun too – enough to make it a go-to stamp set for all year round. And why not, when there’s chocolate truffles to be had? It’s always chocolate season!
Dark Chocolate ink, then rubbed Schoolhouse Red onto it – not only did it create the supersoft XO, but the moistening of the paper with all that ink makes it feel all velvety soft! Perfect for a card for a honey.
So what’s YOUR favorite Valentine treat? Are you into sweets….savories….or wearable things that sparkle in the sunshine, maybe….? Let me know in a comment!

Gorgeous card, Sandy! Thanks for the great video breaking down the coloring and the tip for the shape card.
Beautiful card , Sandy. I’ve learned so much from you.
Great card! Love the coloring! I am (sorry to say ) that I am not a huge fan of chocolate…or flowers! I know that’s crazy! I do like a bracelet once in a blue moon…this year I asked for an Alex And Ani bracelet! Well, I didn’t ask but I hinted to my 10 yo daughter so hopefully she gave her daddy the hint! Lol!
Wow those chocolates look so real and yummy!
Wonderful card Sandy! I love the cupcake stamp set and you made it versatile by coloring it as a truffle. Thank you for the inspiration. :)
Wow such a cute card and beautifully coloured!!
Yummy card!!! Thanks for the very helpful video, I really enjoyed it. My favorite Valentine treat is chocolate covered strawberries!
Adorable card, Sandy! The coloring is magnificent. I could go for anything chocolate.
Great video and loving that sweet card!
CHOCOLATE! Anything chocolate is my favorite treat, especially dark chocolate, but I will eat all chocolate! The card is really cute and thanks for the video!
Love your cards and videos Sandy! Those chocolates look good enough to eat. :)
Gorgeous coloring! Looks good enough to eat!
Chocolates look delicious. Looking forward to the chocolate-covered strawberries that I’m going to get this evening. Great job of coloring.
Sandy you rocks, you inspire me keep making more cards for OWH! Thanks for the chance to win all of those great products!
Love the shaped card. I’ve got another foot of snow falling and getting some OWH cards done. Yippie!
You can’t go wrong with chocolate but I prefer mine homemade and sugar free!
Chocolate ice cream and french fries are my Favorite!
Thanks for showing how you created “wood look” Sandy.
My favorite valentine treat is a crafty tool. My other half’s eyes glaze over when I talk about craft, so if he gets me something I can use, I know he has really tried hard ;-)
Awesome card…truffles…yum!
My favourite are coffee flavoured chocolates. I got to say, those truffles look very edible, yum!
Yum! Colored to perfection! Love the shape too!
Sandy those truffles look good enough to eat. My preference is Rum Nugget, hopefully my sweetie will bring me some tomorrow. I love you videos you are always so informative. Thanks for sharing your love of the craft. Keep those videos coming!!!
Absolutely anything with caramel in it is my favorite!! Loved your truffles! Thanks for sharing!!
Diamonds are the best treat, but I’ll take dark chocolates–LOL!
Favorite treat without a doubt is chocolate dipped strawberries! Thanks for the wonderful video!
mmmmmmm, chocolate! Thanks for the video :)
