This was a really fun challenge... I've seen these (and similar ones) here on SCS but never saw a tutorial, so I was so excited to play!
I ran my acetate through the cuttlebug with the snowflake folder first, then scored it.
I covered the edges of the lids with this luscious blue velvet ribbon.
I finished it up with some white and blue ribbon with little glass and silver beads tied on the ends. I love the little silver springy thing that slide down towards the beaded ends to take the lid off.
* I must say, I envisioned little silver kisses in this when I made it, but alas, there is not a piece of candy in my house tonight so I looked around and the best I could come up with was cotton balls. I would've left it empty, but then you really couldn't see the embossing on the acetate.... just imagine chocolate if you would...thanks*
Thanks for looking... I'm heading to bed now!

WOW!!! I love the embossing. The beads are awesome. This will be even more gorgeous with the little silver kisses. Thanks for sharing about the embossing.
