I am in Nashville at Stampin' Up! leadership and I like to exchange gift idea with a few of my stamping friends and we do this at events. This year I decided to bring them a little of Saudi with me, my favorite chocolate here, I think it is better than the states but I must admit we all enjoyed US chocolate at Christmas.
I created this little package using the new Bigz L Die Petal Cone found in the new Occasions Catalog by Stampin' Up!. I cut one piece of 5 1/2x 8 1/2 piece of the Pink Pirouette cardstock, after cutting it out I added more score lines by placing the tip of the cone on the center track of my cutter and the cone's score line on the 1/2" mark on my cutter. Score lines on both sides of the cone's score line. It is helpful to fold down the front piece before scoring but keep the back piece tall so the score lines are correct.
I cut the scallop and ribbon pieces out of Chocolate chip cardstock using the cone die. I stamp with Chocolate chip ink on the front flap using Stampin' Up!'s new stamp set Clearly for You found in the Occasion mini catalog. (This stamp set is designed to go with the Beveled Windowpanes but works great for lots of other projects)
I stamped the butterfly from the Clearly For You stamp set on a scrap of Pink Pirouette cardstock and punch it with the new 3/4 x 15/16 oval punch. Glue the flap to the side keeping the package flat and fold ribbon piece in half, using the paper piercing tool poke hole for brad and insert it while the package is flat, add a little liquid glue under ribbon piece. Then fold in edges to form package. I added brads on the side for just that last little touch.
Note: you might find it helpful to score flap from the same way as you did the sides so the flap does not get in the way when you fold up your sides.
