"Ten Rules of Chocolate" Book

My inspiration came from Charlene who made a "Chocolate Book". But who am I to leave well enough alone, LOL! Of course I had to take the general idea and run with it.....
Here's how my thought process begins - with scribbles, notes, measurements, etc.

I've gotten these chocolate "tips" in emails many times before so it was high time I use them in a project like Charlene did! I love it!

Supplies I used:
(All items from The Angel Company, except the brads)
Penelope Soar With It Collection
Penelope Cardstock
Penelope Ribbon
Seeds of Blessings stamp set
Scor-Pal
Versamagic Eggplant ink
1/2" circle punch

Recollections brads
Computer generated title, rules, and back tag.

Directions:

Cut cardstock to 4" x 9 1/2". With the long side across the top of your Scor-pal, score at 6 1/2" and 6 3/4". (Scor-pal tip: to score at 6 3/4", place the 6 1/2" score mark on the 4" Scor-pal line and score at 4 1/4".)

Now turn the cardstock so the short side is across the top of the Scor-pal. Place the left side of the cardstock on the 3 1/2" Scor-pal line, score at 4" and 4 1/4" from top to bottom. Turn cardstock around and repeat on the other edge.

Now cut the sections out marked by red in the diagram above.


Fold on all of the score lines. It should look like the picture above.


Glue the flaps around to the back to create a "pouch" for the candy bar. This piece will be glued on the right side of the cover which is described next:

Cut cardstock to 6 3/8" x 7". With the 6 3/8" side across the top, score at 3" from each side.

Decorate the rest of your "book" as desired. Here are some more pictures of mine:

I designed the "pouch" to be just the right height so that when you place your Hershey bar down in it, the letters HERS show at the top. Because this chocolate is HERS! heehee, pretty cute huh?!

Valentine's Day Candy Box

Here's a SIMPLE gift idea!!!!
Start with THIS box! I saw it in a store this week and though, wow! That is an awesome box to alter!!!

1.Open the box, take out the treats in it and gobble them down FIRST!!!!!!!!!! Then take the cover apart.2. Spread a coating of glue on it and place your patterned paper on top and flatten out smoothly.3.Let it dry and trim the paper around the edge of the box.Fold up again.It will look like this.4. Open up the box completely. A 12x12 piece of patterned paper won't fit across the box, so what I did was I added a small piece on the end before I started covering the whole box.5. The places I have marked witha black "X" do not really have to be covered. Cover with glue, the areas that you want to put your patterned paper.If the paper you have chosen matches the red in the box, then you really don't need to cover the flaps either.
6. Once you have this done, let it dry and then trim the paper around the box. Re-fold it and glue the ends together.I used clips to hold it in place for a few minutes before starting the next step.7. When that is glued and set, then all you need to do now is trim the paper around the box, put the box back together and voila, it will look like this!8. Embellish it as you wish. Now it's ready to fill with yummies for a loved one!!!

Hidden Drawer Card

Here is a tutorial for a Hidden Drawer Card. The other tutorials I've seen online hold Hershey Nuggets in their drawer so I decided to be different and use a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup. The drawer does hold SIX Nuggets beautifully though!

On with the directions:

Supplies I used:
(ALL supplies are from The Angel Company)
Cha Cha Soar With It Collection
Cha Cha Cardstock
Mega Scalloped Circle Punch
All Occasion Circles stamp set
Kid Praises stamp set
Seeds of Blessing stamp set
Palette L'Amore Red ink
Versamagic Hint of Pesto ink
Versamagic Pumpkin Spice ink
Scor-Pal
White gel pen

Directions:

To make the drawer, cut your cardstock 4 13/16" x 4 13/16". Score it at 15/16" on all four sides. I know these are odd measurements, but my drawer fits perfectly! Another way to do this is to cut the cardstock 4 15/16" x 4 15/16", score at 1" on each side, then trim 1/16" off of each side. Whatever is easiest for you.

Make ONE cut at each corner, fold the flaps in and glue in place.


Cover the front and back sides with patterned cardstock cut to 3/4" x 2 3/4".


To make the card part, cut your cardstock to 3" x 11 7/8". With the long side across the top of your Scor-pal, score at 3", 4", 7", 8", and 11".


Fold it and glue the flap in place as shown in the picture above. Notice at the red arrow, the flap fold rests just under the scored line. And the blue arrow shows how the flap does NOT go all the way down to the bottom.


To make my Reece's Peanut Butter cup "sandwich", I cut the cardstock to 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". With a little dot of glue, I put one on top and bottom. This cup is one that comes 8 to a pack for about $1. (.55 ounce per cup)


Decorate and embellish the rest however you want. Whatever floats your boat, lol! Here are some more pics of mine:

I know its already the end of January but I really didnt get the chance to create this any sooner BUT then again there are still 11 months still to use it lol!!

Requirements –

• Sheet of chipboard 15cm by 30cm

• Patterned paper

• Embellishments

• Printout of templates
  

Directions –

Tear two strips of patterned paper and adhere them to each side of a piece of patterned paper cut to 8cm by 30cm.

Cut the strip of chipboard into the following sized rectangles – Two pieces of 15cm by 10cm & Two pieces of 15cm by 5cm

Lay the chipboard pieces on the back of the piece of patterned paper you just created in the following order; 10cm by 15cm, 10cm by 15cm, 5cm by 15cm and 5cm by 15cm. Remember to leave a small gap of approximately 2mm between each piece and adhere to chipboard. Sand all edges to neaten but the bottom edge where there is an overhang as this will be used to complete the spine.

Repeat on the reverse with another piece of patterned paper to cover the inside of the spine. Score along each of the gaps you created between each of the chipboard pieces and gently fold into position. Glue the flap you left earlier to the other edges to secure both edges together. Adjust each of the folded edges until the cover spine sits flat.

Print out each of the templates below, simply save each JPeg to your computer and print at an A4 size.

Cut each into sections, arrange in order and staple together to create 2 mini books.
