October is Pastor Appreciation Month. I created a card for our local Pastor, and decided to include a small sweet treat. Here is what I came up with.
I found some yummy Fall colored Caramel filled Hershey kisses, and thought these would be a nice small addition to the card I had already created. Now, how was I going to package them? I decided a small box, but I also wanted the sweets to be visible, so I decided I would use our Window Sheets, which are incredibly sturdy to create a box. I made a 2,4,6,8 box, so easy peasy, but cute. The cool thing about this box, is the top comes off, but "not completely", it stays attached for an easy closure.
I needed it to have some masculine flair, so I opted to use the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, and felt the Copper, Gold, and Champagne Foil Sheets also gave it a look of Fall and a bit of elegance as well.
I didn't just want to drop in the Hershey Kisses in the box, I felt it needed some "cushioning" on the bottom, so I made my own matching shreds! Just took some coordinating cardstock in Early Expresso and Pumpkin Pie, and cut them in 1/8" strips, then crinkled them up with my hand.
I heard from many of you regarding my last post and wanting instructions on how to recreate this project, and I am working on those instructions as we speak. I will post them as soon as I get them finished up. Also, thank you so much for your kind comments, I truly appreciate you letting me know you enjoy the projects, and like the instructions I share.
I look forward to sharing more fun, creative ideas with you. I love what I do, and I love sharing it with you more than anything! I have included the items I used on this project below for your convenience.
"Blessings, and until the next time, remember to hug the ones you love, "none of us are promised tomorrow!
