Candy Mail Box. Original Idea is from Sue Kment on SCS

Stack 2 Hershey's Nuggets together with a glue dot. Then wrap a band of scrapbook paper around the stack. Cut another strip of paper 1" wide and 3 3/8" long. Round the ends with scissors and glue dot one end of the strip to the back of the candy stack. Bring the paper around the bottom of the stack, glue in place and allow the other end to act as the open mail box front. Cut a flag shape and glue to the side.  SO DARN CUTE!

I did not use the Movers and Shapers die, and it took me a while to figure it out. The card style has been around, so if you have another link to show it with additional instructions, please let me know.  I used a Nestabilities die, but any die can be used and you can do it on any size card. My card was cut at 4 1/4" x 11"

INSIDE VIEW... Candy Box inspired by Selma Stevenson on SCS. What a DARLING idea! These will be cute for Mother's Day with a BIG flower die cut on top. They were super easy to make, thanks to Selma's great directions.

Make the box using a 4 1/16" square for the top and a 4" square for the bottom. Score at 1" on all four sides. You could even make the box smaller overall, because it fills the space nicely.
