Isn’t the candy in this bag awesome?! I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)! The Top Note Sizzix die has a ‘stitched’ border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer a ‘matted’ look.

I found it! I love this sample, but i mysteriously disappeared… I found it and it was only ‘missing’ the Hershey bar, but thankfully the kids didn’t damage the sample! Ah, the dangers of trying to keep chocolate in the house with 4 kids (three of them teenage girls)– a very bad thing! My previous post has the dimensions to this type of gift holder.
I love the ‘Big Birthday Candle’ set… the design inspiration for this gift holder is from a card I did last month (below). I didn’t love the card at first because it was too simple, but the up-side of simple is that I made a bunch of them to have on hand for birthdays!
<– Click on the graphic (left) to download the directions for this easy gift holder that you can get three of from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper! I made some matching lollipop covers and made a flower from Smarties the same way I made the focal flower on the gift keeper.
This simple ‘gift keeper’ was made with the beautiful new set "Kind Thoughts" (which punches out a lovely flower with the scalloped circle punch), Baroque Motifs (an ‘old friend’ of mine) and Circle of Friendship. The color scheme is Ballet Blue, Rose Romance, Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery… a great color combination. Download the step-by-step to making these.
I made a birthday one as well, however I think that the kids got to it because I left the mini-Hershey bar in it… my fault I guess!
I will upload the one I made with "Big Birthday Candle" when it surfaces, I really liked that one even better!
Let me know what you think!
