Happy Middle of the Week, Sweet Friends! I'm absolutely giddy to share my project with you today! If you know anything about me, I can be a bit "dog with a bone" about stuff. This past weekend, my bone was this sweet little candy box. It's similar in size and function to a tic tac box. (See size comparison below)
Roaming around Pinterest, I spied this fantastic project. Not daunted, at all, by the fact that the blog is written in German, I purposed to figure it out! Now, when you translate the blog, you will quickly realize that the original author was gracious enough to provide a template.
Can you keep a secret? I abhor.....COMPLETELY ABHOR.......templates. No, I don't have a reason. Just a cooky little quirk.....(it's not the only one!) So, Saturday night, armed with the Hallmark channel and a a glass of wine, I worked it all out. It took me quite a while, but my sense of accomplishment is great!
The green cardstock is all one piece!! That's the tricky part. It's scored, cut, folded and wrapped. Before you ask, yes! I will be writing a tutorial for this project because I love it, and you, so much!
I finished things off with some fun stamps from Sweet N Sassy Stamps! What could be cuter than this sweet little owl image from Bookmark Bits & Pieces? My sentiment comes from the Owl Be There set. I think these would make some super cute Easter treats or even favors for a shower....the possibilities are endless!
Here's a photo of my candy box along side a standard gift card to give you some sizing perspective:
That's it for today! Go get crafty!
Don't forget to be awesome!
