Thanks to Julie DiMatteo, a fellow demonstrator and friend from Atlanta, Ga, – The Paper Pixie (thepaperpixie.com) – I am never at a loss for cute 3D projects. Julie always does an instructional video for each of her projects too which makes it so easy to follow along and recreate. Today’s project is a take two on one she did earlier this winter. She modified the first one, which held 2 Green and Blacks chocolates, to this one that holds one Ghiradelli with filling or two unfilled. We don’t have Green and Blacks chocolates around where I live but Ghiradelli are easy to find.

THE DETAILS
I used DSP from Sweet Soiree Specialty paper. Each sheet of 12×12 paper makes 4 of these little boxes and they are quick to make so multiples are easy. Great for showers, party favors, etc.
The sentiment is from label me pretty punched out with 1-1/4 circle punch. I used 1-3/8 circle punch from the DSP for the next layer and finally 1-1/2 circle punch in whisper white, sponged with blushing bride for the final layer. The magnet closures are 1/4″ by 1/32″ and are from Total Element. They are based in the US and offer FREE shipping.
Thank you for visiting.

Such a great project, Lynn! You and Julie inspire me. So happy I’ll be able to hang with both of you next week. <3
