My daughter recently started college and loves it when mom sends her mail.  My fall hop project includes a handmade card, coordinating envelope and spruced up candy bar for those late nights of studying.

To create the “wrap” for the King Sized Hershey Bar, I cut Island Indigo card stock to 6 x 5 1/2″.  Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the 5 1/2″ side at 1 3/8″, 1 3/4″, 3 3/4″ and 4 1/8″.  A touch of Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper and fun cropped shapes (Autumn Accents Bigz Die) turn the yummy treat into terrific!

The Orchard Harvest Designer Series rectangles measure 1 5/8″ x 7/8″.  The Early Espresso mat is 1 3/4″” x 1″.  The Raspberry Ripple 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon found it’s home in the grooves of the maple leaf.

A coordinating A2 card sized envelope (also used Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper) pulls everything together.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Simply Scored Diagonal Plate.  Here’s my Simply Scored Diagonal Plate Envelope Chart for the details.

  1. I came across your blog via Pinterest. Love your cards. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving dimensions of your card “parts”. So often I see cards and wish to recreate or use them as a starting point, and having dimensions is a huge help. I’ll be making your blog a “favorite”!

  11. Mary-this is wonderful! I can never decide which DSP to use when I get a new package, and the idea of using 5 selections works for me! Not to mention that it is a good use for scraps from other projects (because we cannot discard even the smallest scraps of DSP). Thank you.
