We recently returned from our family vacation. This year, we took a cruise of Hawai'i! While on the cruise, we visited the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut factory. Yum! I bought some Macadamia Nut Hershey's Kisses while we were there so I could use them as a treat for my Club Members this month. Here's the little goody box I created for each of my Club Members. Enjoy!

1) Assemble Party Favor Boxes. No adhesive is required - just fold them together along the pre-scored lines.
2) Fill boxes with treats and close the lids. No adhesive required!
3) Fold together the bellybands for the boxes along the pre-scored lines. No adhesive required!
4) Slide the bellybands onto the boxes so that the seam between the two closing flaps is hidden.
5) Wrap a small piece of Striped Grosgrain Ribbon around the bellyband and trim ends. Adhere the ends to the top of the bellyband with a bit of adhesive so that the seam is towards the left side of the bellyband.
6) Ink up the sentiment from the Wow Flowers Set with Tempting Turquoise Ink and stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White Card Stock.
7) Punch the sentiment out using the Small Tag Punch.
8) Punch out a scrap of Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, or Rose Red Card Stock with the Tag Punch.
9) Layer the tags together.
10) Choose a couple of flowers from the Flower Fusion Accents and Elements and layer them together.
11) Choose one of the large 6-pointed Old Olive flowers from the Flower Fusion Accents and Elements and cut two of the points off as shown.
12) Adhere these as leaves behind the larger of your two flowers.
13) Place the flowers at the top of your tag. Use the Paper-Piercing Tool and Mat Pack pieces to poke a hole through the center of the flowers and through the tag.
14) Insert a Brad and secure on the back side.
15) Poke another hole through the center of the flower in the word "you" and insert a matching Brad and secure.
16) Adhere the top of the tag only to the bellyband using Stampin' Dimensionals. Make sure you cover the seam in the ribbon and don't adhere the tag to the box itself or you won't be able to slide the bellyband on and off the box.
It is usually easier to stamp an image first and then punch it out. You can line the punch up over the image this way to make sure it is straight and centered.
All the punches are retiring in the current style tonight. However, most of them will be available in the new flat style in the new catalog effective tomorrow (July 1). A few of them will cost a bit more though!
You can get three sets of two leaves by cutting apart one 6-pointed Old Olive flower from the Flower Fusion Accents and Elements.
All the Brads are retiring tonight. However, many of the colors will be available in different color collections in the new catalog effective tomorrow (July 1).
We learned while at the Macadamia Nut factory that Hershey recently purchased Mauna Loa. They are exploring the idea of growing cocoa in Hawai'i and building a chocolate factory there. The Macadamia Nut Kisses are only available in Hawai'i.
