Since we always enjoy having Thanksgiving at our house every year I made these little pillow boxes filled with chocolates for each place setting. Every year I try to have the dinner table look pretty with a freshly pressed table cloth, a real fall flower arrangement, candles and good silver and glasses. I love the smell of the turkey cooking on Thanksgiving and having a big dinner with family, there's nothing like it!
For these little pillow boxes I used really rust card stock and after cutting out the boxes with my Big Shot I stamped them with the Weathered back ground stamp. Then used the Happy Thanks giving stamp from the retired stamp set All Year Cheer III (hang onto those retired word sets) and stamped it in Chocolate Chip. The acorn from the stamp set Autumn Fest was stamped in Creamy Carmel then I used a Chocolate Chip marker to color the top before stamping it on Naturals Ivory paper. I used two circle punches and the wide oval punch to mat the acorn and punched two holes on each end of the wide oval to feed the ribbon through. You really don't need to tape both ends of this box if you tie it up with ribbon horizontally like I did.
Now I'm totally in the mood for some turkey dinner!

These are so nice! I ordered this die on Monday, or so I thought, I put one thing in twice and left this one off, ugh, and my SU order will be here next Tuesday without my die, so I am "drooling" over these cute little boxes of yours until I can re-order and make my own! I like how you decorated them!
