Again, thanks to everyone who voted for me in Round 3 because
I made it to the final round in the contest! Woohoo! Now it's time to share my Finalist Project for the JustRite Champion contest with you! It's surreal to think I made it it was a distant glimmer in my stamping eyes 4 weeks ago when it was posted on their blog.
My final project uses Taylored Expressions A Sweet Celebreation set which includes a sweet birthday card & clear pail full of handmade chocolate lollipops. Yes - I made all those (and a few more that did not quite turn out that well!) They are made from a mold where you melt the colored candy melts and refrigerate in the mold until set. Wonder how the coloring of the lollipops got on there? Well, it sure helps to read directions when you venture into the unknown. You need to 'paint' the colored melts into the mold {here, the pink & brown) and set them. Then, you place the rest of the lollipop in the mold and it adheres real nicely! What you don't do (and I did to get the yellow flicker on the candles is make the whole mold & attempt to use gel coloring in the melted candy - doesn't really blend well) but I thought it could pass well enough for my project! I think I could use a little more practice! *smile*
Here is a close-up of my card. I used my JustRite wooden stamp with small alpha for 'THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE SWEET' YUM ** YUM! Isn't that the truth?! Taylor's sweet cupcake stamp fits perfectly in the center, like it was made for it! The designer paper used is Stampin' Up! Bella Rose which coordinated nicely with the colors on the lollipops.
Here are close-ups of the lollipops (cupcake & cake), which each have tags using the same JustRite personalized circle but with the different sentiments in the set.

I LOVE this project - it is totally yummy and you got my vote!!! Would love to know how you made these lollies - they would be perfect for my upcoming craft show, will you share? *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I totally love your project, Donna!! Yummylicious!! I've voted! ;)
Now Donna--this is a new one for me--homemade chocolate lollie's!!! And absolutely beautifully done, nonetheless! I am in complet awe at the moment, so forgive me if I don't find the words...these are jaw-dropping awesome!!! If you were any closer, I would simply invite myself over so you could teach me how to make these! Stamping, scrapping, handmade gifts, handmade jewelry and now homemade candy too?!?! I cannot believe your talent--I'm just gonna call you wonderwoman from here on out.WW, maybe, for short... :) I SO hope you win, gf!! Although all of the finalist projects are amazing, you truly deserve it!
This is fabulous. I've made molded chocolates in the past. They are fun, but tedious. My mother-in-law used to make hundreds of them for craft sales every year. I tried to follow in her footsteps, but i just became too much. We would eat them all before we would even package them! Thanks fo sharing such a great project. - Stacy
what an awesome project---a lot of time and effort went into it and it shows!!! congrats on your finalist status!!! good luck!
Sorry you didn't win, your project was so cute! But wow, looks like you received a pretty awesome gift basket for being a finalist!!
