Matchbox Shower Favors

As if I haven't posted enough baby shower related projects, I have another to share today!

I made these favor boxes for a couple showers I am hosting in the next month. I made 20 of each, but since I have the Matchbox Bigz XL die, it went very quickly.

For the boy favors I used variations of Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White. For the girl favors, I used Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White.
Here are some details:

• I ran the card stock through my Big Shot with the Matchbox Bigz XL die (using the Premium Crease Pad to get all those score lines!). TIP: I used enough card stock to also punch out the frame die cut, which I set aside.
• The sleeve portion of the boxes was run through the Big Shot again using various Texturz Plates. TIP: I run two extra pieces of card stock through on top of the sandwich for a deeper impression.
• I assembled the boxes using Sticky Strip for a stronger hold.
• Contrasting card stock strips were wrapped around the top portion.
• A 1" strip of Whisper White was given a scalloped or eyelet border and was wrapped around over the previous strip.
• Grosgrain ribbon was tied in a simple knot.
• The sentiment was inked in Chocolate Chip and stamped onto the frame die cuts. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch out a hole on the left side.
• Hemp Twine was used to secure the tag to the ribbon.

I plan to fill these little boxes with small truffles or other chocolates. I know it is a bit fancy for a baby shower, but when it is this easy I just can't help myself! :)
