Last minute wrapping.....again!

Sometimes it's all in the presentation. My grandchildren will be getting something extra special this year....which could fit in an envelope, but that just wouldn't seem right.  So I decided I needed to make something.....similar to a gift card holder (times 4).

I knew I wanted to use my latest stamp acquisition (Joyful from Stampers Anonymous), and my most recent Spellbinders die (Labels Twenty Two).  Of course that was the easy part, where I had a plan!





As you can see I've covered the chocolate with different colours of card stock, adding embellishments, stickers, stamping...really anything I could find!   Nothing too intricate, as I know these will be torn apart Christmas morning!  The special gift tucks into the packaging behind the sentiment.  

Hopefully you are all ready for Christmas, with all your wrapping done, or maybe I've given you an idea to help you along.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have an enjoyable day!
