Candy Copies - Paper Representation of Sweets

After copying a few different candy corns in paper, I wanted to copy these pretty blue speckled candy eggs. I guess I’m on a spree!

It took a few tries to get the blues right (or close enough). I wasn’t going to waste the rejected die cut pieces, though, so I have some extra blue-speckled eggs (right). The third try was the charm!

I think I will continue to make paper versions of candies I see when perusing the bulk food aisles at the grocery store. I have a few candy/sweets dies and I think it will be fun to use them to try to make a paper sweets stash. As I do, I will post them in this thread.

I’ve added some paper saltwater taffy to my Candy Copies!

While looking for summertime candy corn to copy, I saw this saltwater taffy which made me realize that I had a swirly lollipop die that I could use to make taffies!

Not all taffies are spiral, but there are several colors available. I copied some, but then just had fun coming up with some color combos.

Of course, saltwater taffy has got to have the waxed paper wrap! So I cut another base from parchment and used another die to cut the little “tags”.

These are cute! 3rd-try colors look just right, to my eye. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Thanks, friends!

@endymion I was beginning to worry that even with all the shades of blue I had, I wouldn’t find the right two.

@Camelama I think it’s going to be fun to explore this idea!

I’m in the dark here.

Can you turn on the light of whatcha’ did?

I just made paper eggs modeled on the piece of candy at the top of the second photo. I used a a pair of dies to cut them.

Very cool idea!

Cute!

Thanks, y’all!

Your charming 3rd is just perfect! How sweet are those?

Thank you!

I have added saltwater taffies to my Candy Copies! More deets added to the OP.

The parchment paper is the perfect finishing effect! That, plus the swirl gives these the quintessential saltwater taffy look.

Thank you! They are such cheery candies, so these give me a little smile.

I actually used some of the saltwater taffies for a quick label for a gift going out in the mail tomorrow. YEY!
