Pretty chocolate box tutorial

Gifts don't need to be expensive to look a million dollars. All it takes is a little imagination and some pretty decoration. Today's project shows how a simple small box of chocolate treats can be dressed up to look even more special bringing an extra smile to the recipient.

A simple open top box design just the right size for my small box of chocolates. You can take the principle and change the measurements to suit yourself. 

The simple beauty here is in the stunning Happiness Blooms paper from Stampin' Up!. I love how the small amount of green makes the other subtle colours pop.

I paired it with the Butterfly gala stamp and punch bundle... a popular choice during the Spring Summer catalogue which is set to carry into the annual catalogue out in June...HURRAYYYYY ..and its available to order just now too.

I added a pretty ribbon and my go to punched shapes at the moment the starburst and the 2" circle punch. I am finding this combination works for lots of our sentiments and saves me time and frustration. I am not always the best at cutting sentiments straight so if I can punch it out all the better for me.

I have a fun step by step video tutorial for you to watch so you can create this yourself at home. All the products used are listed below also for you to brows simply click the photos to visit my online shop.
