Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Clear Top Nugget Boxes. was to This is fairly easy if you follow the instructions for just about ANY size nugget box you may need at this link:
I used mini Snickers bars for nuggets! Markie loves Snickers, so we have LOTS of them in the house. Since he'll only eat one bite, that is the size we buy at Sams! I wrapped 1" x 3" strips of Dashing designer paper around the Snickers minis and adhered them with double sided tape. I wrapped Red and Artichoke ribbon around alternating candies. Then, I stamped and cut out the bows from Glorious Garlands. I wrapped a transparency around the nugget box and adhered it as a sleeve with double sided tape.
The card is 3"x3". The sentiment is punched and sponged around the small oval. It was colored in with markers.
The wreath was colored onto the stamp and then pressed onto Very Vanilla. The wreath was punched with the 1" circle and then the Scallop punch. The bow is adhered with a glue dot.
I plan to make about 25 of these for Markie's class. (Not all will be Snickers, as several children in his class have peanut allergies!)

Faith, This is Outragiously Wonderful!!!!! Just a Fabulaus combo too. I made a wreath up using the scallop punch and I just haven't been able to make it into a card for some reason. Thanks for the push, I just may have to use it soon. tfs

This is great Faith - I was wanting an alternative to nuggets as we don't have them here. Snickers and Mars Bars bite sizes, however, are in ABUNDANT SUPPLIES - lol!!!! Great idea for class gifts and I love the colours!!!!
