This is such a simple project! And it is large enough to hold an entire bag of Hershey Kisses--okay minus the two I ate while creating! Chocolate is my weakness, what can I say?

I took a 9 x 9" piece of designer paper from the Sending Love Specialty pack and scored it three inches from each end all the way around. Then I punched each side, beginning in the middle with my Eyelet Border punch. Fold on the score lines, then fold in the four corners and voila!--you have a square box with a 3" bottom and 3" sides. 

I took each corner and used my 1/8" punch to make a hole to thread my Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon to close up my box. Filled it with chocolates and let a sweet card candy hang from the Silver Stretch Cord.

The Card Candy tag is made from a Large Oval punched out of Very Vanilla and stamped with a Jet Black Staz On image from Love Bug (hostess). Peeking out from behind is a Word Window punch with the sentiment from Love Bug in Riding Hood Red. It's matted with a Sending Love Specialty paper punched with the Modern Label punch. 

The three punches are set together and adhered to the box just-so with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Mojo Monday 122

Monday, Monday! I love Mojo Mondays!  Come play along, won't you? My upline, Mary Fish, designed this sketch and I really like how versatile it is. I used some designer paper from last year, called Candy Lane. Only the Modern Label Punch background for the sentiment is a piece from the *new* Sending Love Specialty paper. I don't think the photo captures the sparkle on that punched piece, but it's there. I like how the glitter doesn't come off the paper, too!

Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Textured Real Red, Very Vanilla

Designer Paper:  Candy Lane, Sending Love

Stamps: Flexible Phrases

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Mojo 121

Mojo Monday is too fun to miss! Play along, won't you? This card came together in a snap, thanks to some new designer paper, a piece of leftover embossed paper and some punches.

I began with a Bravo Burgundy base cut long-wise from an 8.5 x 11" piece of cardstock. I cut a slightly smaller piece of one of the prints from the *new* Specialty Designer Paper "Sending Love" every sheet has one side that sparkles! (This side doesn't, though). It is so fun to work with, very high quality. I used a sentiment from God's Blessings to stamp in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White corner-rounded piece of cardstock and placed it under my textured harlequin strip. I used the 1" and 1-1/4" punches under the Happy Birthday and candles from So Many Scallops. In between those circles I placed half of a Snow Blossom punched Pretty in Pink "crown." This is for a birthday queen I know! I duplicated the half-circle and "crown again at the bottom of the Whisper White sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my creation. Please leave your comments, I love them all.
