About Miss Candy Corn

Thanks to my parents being super generous on my birthday, this bad boy will be on my doorstep in just a few days from Japan!

You talented weddingbees with your mad gocco-ing skills made it hard to resist the temptation of such a glorious, self-contained compact color printing system. Last night I watched Paper Source’s tutorial video, with the lady who brings me almost as much joy as Bob Ross:

I love how she is constantly stumbling over her words and muttering to herself. Screw Martha Stewart, this lady knows what’s hot (just kidding Martha, you know you’ll always be my main squeeze).So some of you might still be like, what the h-e-double-hockey-stick is gocco? When I told Mr. Candy Corn what I was getting for my birthday, he looked at me like he was expecting on of these (I wish):

Basically, it’s something for me to obsess over and to distract myself from wedding stuff with for a few nanoseconds. Not only can I put my illustrations on greeting cards and clothes, but I can use it for wedding craftiness (making my own menus, thank you cards, etc.).

I’m sure you guys have seen the amazing gocco projects the bees have made, but here are just a few more examples of gocco projects that I’ve been admiring:

Did anyone else on here buy a gocco after seeing the amazing work our fellow bees have done?

Not yet, but I’m slowly losing the self control and will probably have one by the end of this wedding planning process…

And by the way, I am SO with you on the fact that the Paper Source lady is hilarious!!! I was giggling so hard at her demo that my FI asked me what I was watching! HA!

Yep, I did. I ended up using a laser printer for my invitations, but Gocco’ed my invitation labels and my thank you notes (they match each other) and will gocco programs as well.

Thank you so much! I just purchased the elephant card to give to Mr. Jasmine on our wedding day. We both share a love of elephants :)

i didn’t gocco anything for my wedding because i hadn’t heard of it–found out 3 days before the big event–little late now–but i have such a strong desire for this bad boy–i seriously want to gocco everything!

I had never heard of gocco until I started reading wedding bee. I thought it was a bit too involved for me…until I watched that video! I can do that! I don’t have the patience to gocco my invitation suite, but a lot of other wedding related projects. Thanks for the link to the video! :D

yes! I am waiting until I’m close to needing to gocco something but I’ve had my order sitting in my head for a while. I still can’t decide if I want a PG-5 or dive in and get the PG-11

Miss Jasmine- I bought the same card for my fiance to give to him on our wedding day! He loves elephants too.

No way. But I was tempted. I almost bought one. Then I remembered that I cannot draw. And the Gocco will not magically give me that talent.

In my hands, the Gocco would simply be a fun mess. Something to think about for baby showers and parties, but not to risk my wedding invitations on. :)

I totally bought a Gocco about 6 months ago from Paper Source, but I haven’t done anything with it yet! If I can learn it in the next month I may do napkins and other side projects on it! :) (My wedding is in August)

I am SERIOUSLY considering buying one after being on weddingbee, but I am SO scared that I will not be successful at Gocco’ing anything. It seems so complicated just from the small tutorials the other “bees” have given.

Besides the panties being completely classless and tacky, the rest of the projects are great. I’m thinking about buying one for myself for my birthday. Is there a Gocco for Dummies book?

What a cool looking system! Wish I’d known about it when I was planning my wedding!

Yep — I couldn’t resist it! My confidence is growing with every gocco’d project I see. I think I’m obsessed now!
