Great Big Chocolate!

For any of you who have been waiting for a Valentines post....

I'm so sorry!  We've had sickness, and what-not around here this week.  Probably the same as most of your houses...

I've been working all day on a great present, and I'll be sharing it tomorrow.  I'm currently waiting for it to finish drying.  (it's super cute, by the way, and you can still get it done before Valentines Day.  Easy!)

Just to hold you off until then, did you miss my fun printable over at Positively Splendid earlier this week?

Well never fear!  Here it is for all the Less Cake {more frosting} readers:



I've designed a SUPER easy last second printable to use for your "SWEETIE". (or....just for yourself...because you deserve it!!!) It's a printable wrapper for KING SIZE candy bars.  I've seen tons for the tiny ones, or the regular size ones, but I like the BIG DADDY!  The one you shouldn't eat in one sitting.  (but do anyway)





I printed out one just on my own home printer, to show you how easy it is.....it took me 2 minutes to print, and cut it out.
  • Simply click on the graphic until it is at it's maximum resolution on your screen.  Right click on it, and save it to your computer.  
  • It is saved as a .jpg file.  Which means it's just like a photo file.
  • You can just print it straight from your computer.
  • It is sized to replace your candy wrapper, exactly!

You can also run the file to a store and have it printed on a laser printer, or a at a higher quality.  Then it will look even better! 



 

**Honesty Alert**  This candy might be filled with an empty piece of aluminum foil.  I may have had a midnight EMERGENCY for an entire bar......and then wrapped up air for this photo.  Ooops!



 

Just crease the paper, along the sides, and use some double sided sticky tape to fasten the wrapper along the back side.







Even the ingredients are listed to give your "SWEETIE" a giggle.  I particularly love how where it lists the Fat content....it tells me "you are so NOT fat!" (seriously, you have to print it out and read it....I was cracking myself up!)


And if you need help in printing it, or have questions about printing any of my "PRINTABLES" don't miss the rest of my tutorial on printables over at Amy's place.

Lots of the questions that I frequently get...are answered there!

Now I'm off to check and see if my project is dry! I'm so impatient when it comes to drying....

See you tomorrow!
