Chocolate Party RSVP Gifts

So I've been playing a lot with the new papers; participating in swaps, making workshop and gathering samples and getting ready for my Chocolate-themed party on Saturday and came up with these little fun treasures to give to those that RSVP'd, whether a yes or a no. Hopefully, it will inspire you to see a little more...



I used colors and coordinating stamps as well as B&T (background and texture) papers from the brand new Grace paper kit. The My Acrylix Stamp Set used on the Barn Red Slider is Childhood Portrait and on the Honey Slider it is the Stamp of the Month, Treasures which you can earn at a discount or even FREE! Just ask me how.
