Retreat Party Favors

I had such a great time at retreat a few weekends ago! Besides having a scrapbook Make & Take for all of the attendees, I decided it would be nice to place some chocolate at each table for everyone. Enter the Big Shot and the Matchbox Bigz XL Die!



I made a pile of them in all different card stock colors and matching Designer Series Paper.

I cut two at a time, with the base being the thicker solid Stampin' Up! card stock and the sleeve and decorative tag was cut from Designer Series Paper. Here's how I laid each double-layered pass through the machine:



Each time I cut once, I got 2 sets of boxes, like this:



Our Designer Series Paper is double-sided, so I was able to really mix up the box designs that way. I then piled my like pieces together before I sat down in front of the TV to crease and form boxes, which do not require any adhesive! The only place you need SNAIL is to close the slipcover...about 2 inches per box.

This wonderful die would make great wedding party favors, birthday party favors, shower favors, teacher gift boxes, and so on! All you need is SNAIL adhesive, some card stock, and contrasting Designer Series Paper (which, by the way, is on sale during the month of May...buy 3 get 1 FREE! at http://2stampis2b.stampinup.net and click the Shop Now button.

What kind of gifts can you think of to make with this great Big Shot die?
