3.  Stamp the Tis so Sweet circle on your white circle with Cranberry Crisp.  Brown the outer edges with a brown stamp pad.  Use pop up foam pieces to adhere to the scalloped circle.  Center your circle medallion over your ribbon.

Isn't this the cutest little treat box?  I put different nuts in each little box....I really wanted three sections, but only had two kinds of nuts.  

1.  Fill boxes with assorted nuts.  Use the Scor-pal tape to attach them to each other.

2.  Cut ribbon to wrap around your boxes.  I took the twill tape, laid it on my chocolate ink pad, held it lightly with one finger on the ink pad, and pulled it until the whole strip was covered in the brown....giving it a woodgrain look!  I love it!  Wrap the ribbon around your box and tape down with your Scor-Pal tape.

3.  Stamp your little squirrel on the white cardstock, color in with your copics.  His little cheeks I completely colored in with the medium brown copic color, then I took the Salmon and colored the circles in which pushed the brown out to the sides.....very nice!

4.  Layer your pieces as shown.  I put pop up dots between the white and brown layers to make it pop it up a bit!

This is a super simple little treat to give someone who is going through a hard time. 

First, I used two sided tape to stick the Crunch bars to the red cardstock, slid that into the box, put a little red paper filler on each side.  The red cardstock band is 3/4 inch wide and wraps around the box to tape underneath the rectangular piece.  Very, very, simple!

Don't forget, this set is released on Sunday!

Hope your day is filled with blessings and stamping galore!

Oh Lori,

I can't believe these sets. They "melt" my heart. My mind is already spinning on how and what I can use these stamps for. Thank you so much for all the great stamp sets you guys come up with. My mother-in law sends tons of cards out every week to people at church. You will never know until heaven how many people your stamps have touched!

Thanks again!
