I ran the Early Espresso cardstock through the Big Shot using the Two Tags die. Then I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the tag. Since the embossing kind of hides the score line from the die I just made my own fold to fit the Hershey bar. I added some Very Vanilla 5/8" satin ribbon---don't mind the More Mustard ink stain on the ribbon---lesson learned to close the ink pad after stamping or to clean off my stamping table so I can have more room!!
For the name panel I punched some ovals using the 2" x 1 3/8" Extra Large oval punch. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso. I used one of the small flower/leaf stamps from Day of Gratitude for the image. I thought the More Mustard was kind of dark on the first attempt so I decided to stamp off once before stamping on my oval for a more muted look. I added the names with my Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker. Done deal!
