I wanted to make a luminary card for a friend, but then I decided I wanted it to have chocolates in it. So I made a gift box that has a removable transparent cylinder in it that holds a battery operated light and the chocolates go in around it. The cylinder has a lid that when lifted, pulls out the light so you can turn it on and off without removing the cylinder and disturbing the chocolates.
I used SB Majestic labels Twenty Five and SB Poinsettias. The box is made from a wedding cardstock that has a subtle stripe and pretty shimmer. I used JustRite Festive Poinsettias to stamp down two sides and emboss in silver and make the tag. I use red mirror cardstock to cut all my poinsettias. They are so pretty!
Here it is with Lindor chocolates!
Update : WooHoo! This was choosen to be the Grand Prize Winner at JustRite!
