If you're a flower lover like me, then I'm sure you've been to Selma's Stamping Corner. If you scroll down a bit on her blog, she has the directions for this cool Candy Bar Pouch in King Size and Regular. I'm entering my Hershey Bar Pouch at Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge.
Selma's directions calls for the Slot Punch, I just used a circle punch and punched out a bit for my bow to sit right on top the pouch instead.
Gently pulling up on the bow is what brings the candy bar out of the pouch.
Here's the close up of the Mulberry Flowers I used. The sentiment is from SU's Eat Chocolate that is now retired.
I had so much fun taking the time to create something for me! I was so tickled to find out I still had time to enter the challenge. That hasn't happened in so long.
I created one as a display for work using their supplies and I'll post it as soon as I change the ribbon. I hope you enjoy my version of Selma's Hershey Bar Pouch.
Supplies:
- SU Eat Chocolate Stamp Set (Retired)
- Memory Box, La Rue Heart Die
- SU Modern Label Punch
- Martha Stewart Border Punch (Lace ?)
- Mulberry Flowers
- Real Red Ribbon
- Whisper White Ribbon
- Pretty in Pink Ribbon
- Red Gems
- Selma's Hershey Bar Pouch Tutorial
Mailing cards with flowers update: Remember around Christmas I posted how I mail my cards with flowers. I was reading on a blog the other day, I don't remember where, and she mailed hers using the Clear Boxes. Popped in the card, sealed the top and bottom with clear packaging tape, added a mailing label and $1.71 postage for her size box and it arrived in perfect condition. I hope this encourages you to include those gorgeous flowers on your cards.

You read about the clear box on my site and also on Selma's. We did an experiment using just the clear box. (no envelope) Selma mailed me a card (Indiana) from Washington and it arrived in perfect condition.

Carla I was so happy to see you entered your gorgeous Hershey Bar pouch in our challenge. I love the way you used the circle punch at the top. Thank you for joining us in our challenge at Joan's Gardens. We love to see your work. And yes, that was me that sent Joan a very dimensional card in a plastic box. Now I feel comfortable always knowing they will arrive in perfect condition. Joan sells them in several different sizes.
