I asked whether her husband liked any particular treat that I could give him as a thank you and she said, "Chocolate! And he likes the cheap stuff: Hershey's with Almonds." (Hmmm, I like the cheap stuff, too!) So I bought a large Hershey's with Almonds for him and created this special packaging for it.It's a fairly easy project, but I did have to figure out my own dimensions since I was covering one of the extra large candy bars (you can find the tutorial for Pull-Up Treats here on Splitcoaststampers). I kept the embellishments simple and masculine. The eyes from Artistic Outpost were stamped on a Tim Holtz ticket, and I used a tag-shaped punch for the sentiment.
Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by.
