I made this little candy bar wrapper for one of my hostesses awhile back. It was big hit so I thought I would share it with you. The container is not original to me. You can find a video for that here. You will get all of the measurements there as well. The length and score lines could be adjusted if you need to. I decided to use a bright, fun color combo that says summer to me. I used Tempting Turquoise card stock with a piece of Tempting Turquoise DSP on top of it. For the focal point, I punched a 2 1/2" scallop of Real Red card stock and then mounted it to the front of the box using SNAIL adhesive. (And to keep it closed, I used a piece of velcro at the bottom of the scallop only.) I then tied a piece of Certainly Celery 1/8" ribbon around and knotted it. Then I used the Pretty Postage set and stamped my image in Tempting Turquoise on Whisper White and cut it out leaving only a tiny border of white. I then mounted that on a piece of Celery card stock that was punched out using the postage punch. This was mounted on the red card stock with dimensionals. For a little more texture and a greeting, I stamped friends in Basic Black using the Tiny Tags stamp set on Whisper White and punched it out with the jewelry tag punch. It was adhered to a flower that I punched out of Pumpkin Pie DSP with the Boho Blossom punch. Then for an little extra pop, I added a clear rhinestone that I colored red. You will see how she created the hole for the candy bar in the video, but I had to put a kit kat in it because it was red. It matched the box, what can I say? :-)
This is darling! I still need to get that Postage punch! I've never colored the rhinestones, so clever!! Thanks!
