Ghiradelli chocolate square Valentines Day card template?

Post by jasenj1 »

My wife wants to make Valentines Day cards with Ghiradelli chocolate squares in them for a bunch of ladies in our church. About 75-80. We're looking for some clever ways to use the Cameo (and/or Cricut).

Since we have to do so many, nothing too fancy.

Anyone know of any templates that incorporate a chocolate square?

P.S. Changed from Godiva to Ghiradelli. Don't know why my brain thought Godiva.

Hi, this sounds like fun, but a little clarification please. Are you looking for individual pieces of Chocolate to add to the card or an image of a box of chocolates for the card itself.

I'll be a bunch of folk will get involved in making an individual chocolate to cut or print and cut but we need more guidance from you.

Thanks,
Susan E

I am reading that you want to actually insert a chocolate square in a card...like maybe tack it to the inside and fold the front over it...so there would then be a square cut in the front. What is the exact measurement of the chocolate, if this is what you are requesting.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Here's the product page.

Well, that made me hungry for chocolate :), but I still am not certain of the sizing...are they 2'", 3" or 1" squares...1" would be too little. Hmmm...do you know?

A few minutes of not being lazy and doing some searching led me to those purses, and this one:

I'm doing some test designs of a variation on this one.

Gj1 you missed your chance! Don't you remember when you HAD to eat that pint of ice cream so you could design a cover for the container? You should have tested several of these squares so you could get it exactly right!!!!! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Maybe I'll try out a few of those myself.

Yep, the power of suggestion... :)
I went to bed dreaming about chocolate and woke and had to run right out for chocolate!
I got the squares, but also some hearts by hershe.

I suggest making a little tuck flap on the pointy end. Make the cover's "nose" much smaller and cut a slit in the "foot" for it to tuck in to.

I hope to have time tonight to get a first cut of mine done. I'll post some pictures.

- Jasen.
