Sweet Treat Candy Wrapper

This morning I received an order that I've been checking the UPS site daily patiently waiting for and was thrilled when I heard it dropped on my doorstep! I hardly had the box in the house before ripping off the packing tape!

One of the items I'd ordered was the new Candy Wrapper die from the Holiday Mini Catalogue and I couldn't wait to try it out. I have a weakness for little boxes and when I saw the die in the catalogue I knew I'd have to order it at SOME point!

If you haven't had a chance to see the new Holiday Mini yet, let me know and I can get you a copy or you can view it online here.

The new Candy Wrapper die looks like this:

Candy Wrapper Bigz Die  # 120890  Price $43.95

Of course I had to cut one out and assemble it immediately!  The wonderful thing about these dies is they cut and score everything perfectly for you!  It took a couple minutes for me to figure out how to fold the ends properly, but once I figured out how to "twist" them, they closed perfectly and I know the next one will be a snap!!!

Here is the first one I've done:   Click on the pics for a closer peek!

 
How adorable is this!  Can you imagine your guests delight to sit down to a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner with you this year and find this waiting on their plate????

I cut this one from our Cherry Cobbler cardstock (one of my absolutely FAVORITE new colors!!!!).  I added a Very Vanilla belly band that I embossed with my Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.

 I stamped the image from our Bells & Boughs clear mount set also from our Holiday Mini and water colored it with a variety of our classic inks and a blender pen.  I added a little shine to the bells with our Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink.  I cut out the image and layered it on  a piece of our Old Olive grosgrain ribbon adhering it with our Stampin Dimensionals and adhered it to the top of the box.  SO cute!  The finished box is 2" x 1-3/8" x 1-3/8" (not including the twisted ends)

Here it is next to one of our regular size ink pads to compare the size.

These adorable boxes could be used for party or wedding favors, gift toppers, stocking stuffers, table place settings, small gift boxes, etc!  I can't wait to make more!
