With Valentine's Day coming up, I needed a few quick gifts for some special people. I thought that these little boxes that hold 3 Hershey's Nuggets would be the perfect thing, since chocolate is a hit with most people. I say most since I am not a big chocolate fan, probably due to growing up surrounded by large amounts of chocolate as a result of my mom's candy-making business. Every once in a while, I want a piece of chocolate, but after a bite or two, I've had enough--I know that sounds crazy . . .These come together really fast when you use a jumbo wheel to wheel the images for the outside of the box and for the labels that go around the chocolates. I think the jumbo wheel is much easier to use than the regular-sized ones. When I use the regular wheels, I always seem to smudge the edge of the wheel on my cardstock and ruin whatever I'm doing, but that doesn't seem to happen with the jumbo wheels. I guess they don't "wobble" as much when you're wheeling the image.
Supplies Used:
From Stampin' Up!: Lots of Hearts Jumbo Wheel and handle, Tags So Much, Whimsical Upper and Mini Messages stamp sets; Whisper White, Real Red, and Basic Black cardstock; Real Red and Pretty in Pink Classic inks; small and regular tag punches; silver cord
Other: white organdy ribbon, Avery mailing labels (8160)
