Greetings! If you saw my plaque the other day then your will remember these pansies. I had these sitting on my craft table left over.
So, my good friend Patty Penn sent me several months ago an envelope filled with these match box die cuts. Not only that, she told me when I go visiting business to inquire about a job and leave my Resume' that I should bring a box of candy. So if you put two and two together...this is what you get!!! lol
Aren't these darling. I used the Martha Stewart pansy border punch for the lace and the Martha Stewart mini butterfly. I tied a ribbon and attached the thank you charm I got from Micheal's in the wedding section. I got 4 Hershey's nuggets in a box. I made 12 in all and have some others to share another day that I used tea bag folding on.
I took these today on my testing and interview and gave them away. What a hit they were. I think they will remember me now and I was successful in achieving my initiative!
Thanks for looking!!!

Slowly working my way back through the creations I've missed - what great treat boxes. I adore pansies - you've done these up in a very fine fashion! I imagine by now you've run out or I'd add my name to the list. Chocolate is my weakness (OK, and punches and stamps and ink and cardstock and almonds, oh and chocolate...). What a great idea to leave something tangible to help people remember your interview. I hope and pray your job hunt is going well. So nervewracking to wait for 'that call'... RYPH!

This is one of the most adorable ideas for using the Matchbox die I've seen... They look SO elegant! The MS punch really adds detail and brings together the pansy decoration on top with the rest of the design.
