Hi everyone
Sponsor:
This lovely image is available from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps .
So, what weird and wonderful idea did I come up with? I opted to make a Chocolate Bar wrapper. This is something I have been wanting to try for ages now. I can tell you now, in hindsight, you definitely need TWO bars of chocolate. Well I just do not know what happened but the first one just seemed to vanish! lol Anyhow, I took the sturdy wrapper from the bar, measured it and then cut my piece of card, scoring in the same way as Lindt had done making it just a little bit bigger so the bar of chocolate will slip into it easily. I left it open at both ends too. I went for the Christmas theme because I thought how many times we need that just little bit of something to say thank you to someone, and covered in this way it makes it look so much more special.
After sitting planning it out for ages with this and that, I was struggling, so eventually I just gave up and went for it BIG TIME - ermmmm I think I may have gone a little bit too over the top actually! But hey I enjoyed doing it. AND most of the items came from my stash! I wonder what you think?
