Made a card for the confirmation student that we mentor at church and decided to try this week's technique challenge to make a little treat container to go with it.
Kept the card pretty simple... A punched border, some nesties for the large sentiment and punches for the smaller sentiment. Popped up a bunch of hearts on the container, added a tag, managed to save enough chocolates to put in the package and it was done. Great little template for the container - easy, peasy. Thanks for the challege idea!
The paper is from a digital kit called "Prints Charming Collection" found at nitwitcollections.com.

Lovely DP for the card and a great border punch - reverse punch envy happening here LOL LOVE the treat container. Your popped up hearts are great and I love the shiny red foil paper in it. I'm sure it will be loved.

Heather, dont even go where Debzi went with that snide remark. I do have to question the nitwit business though. It does sound a little odd, dont you think? Oh girl, this card is beautiful and your sweet treat project is just amazing with all those raised hearts and that crazy fun ribbon. So happy to see you in the gallery tonight. Whew, that makes the end of my day perfect.

OMG Heather, I missed this one. I'm so sorry, but I thought you weren't going to have time to add to your gallery right now. What a beauty this gift set is. I LOVE that paper, border and all your punched hearts and fab ribbon. Heather, you did really GOOD on this. I'm sure the student will really appreciate your time and effort! TFS!!
