Card Candy is a miniature piece of rubber stamping artwork. They are fun to make, swap at Stampin’ Up! events, and create with. Read on to explore a few sweet ways to create with card candy!

Stampin’ Up! OnStage and the CraftyPerson Card Candy Swap are coming up quickly. We’ve heard from a lot of people that they can’t wait for our annual swap. It has become a fun tradition! This year the swap theme is “Neutrals with a Pop of Color”. Click here to get the details and sign up for the swap.

We put together a quick tutorial that we shared with our email newsletter list last month. It’s a great way to your creativity flowing for the swap or just for the fun of it. We hope you enjoy the tutorial and that you’ll join the swap if you are going to OnStage!

Card Candy is a sweet way to create a quick project. They can also be the starting point for over-the-top cards or scrapbooks. The card candy in these projects features neutral colors with a pop of bright color! The Balloon Celebration stamps and the Balloon Balloon Bouquet Punch make it a piece of cake to create birthday themed projects!
