This little box is so much fun to create!

I filled it with three fun size candy bars.

TIP:  Here is a quick tutorial on how to create the sun burst look out of the Scallop Circle punch. 

Punch out Scallop Circle.

Place a small amount of Dotto removable adhesive on it.

Adhere the punched scallop to a piece of printer paper.

NOTE:  you have to adhere the piece to thin paper or the punch will not be able to punch through

Line the punch up with the middle of each scallop petal & punch.

Designer Series Paper, 6" x 3-1/2"

NOTE:  I stamped Happy Holidays an additional time in Jet Black Stazon & colored tree & cut out & attached with dimensionals.  I then stamped Happy Holidays a third time in Real Red and trimmed the word holidays & attached with dimensionals.

Stamp the "to/from" in Real Red on Very Vanilla & punch with Small Tag punch & then punch Old Olive with Tag punch to create a mat.  Punch (2) 1/16" holes in tag and thread Gold Elastic Cord through and tie with ribbon.
