Fancy Hershey, Anyone?

Everyone loves a Hershey bar, right?  The big ones that you break apart and put on a graham cracker with a toasted marshmallow, squished down and then eaten quickly before the marshmallow cools off and without getting sticky fingers.  Ah, the memories of summers at the lake or around a campfire!

But, Hershey bars make great Christmas gifts too, you just need the right wrapping.  Below is a sample of a spiffed up wrapping for the lowly milk chocolate Hershey Bar!  (of course there are other types of chocolate Hershey bars too, those with almonds, dark chocolate, but for most folks, the plain, no frills, milk chocolate one is the best!)  Sorry that these are sideways but I don't know how to rotate them!  Oops!

Supplies:
Stamps: Merry Patterns (Hostess Promotion - sentiment)
Paper:  Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (2017 Holiday Mini Catalog), Silver and Red Glimmer Paper, Copper and Gold Foil Paper, Whisper White Card Stock
Ink: Versamark
Accessories:  Red, Copper, Gold Embossing Powder, Foil Snowflakes (2017 Holiday Mini Catalog), glue dots, adhesive tape
Tools:  Eastern Medallion Thinlits, Pretty Label Punch, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and Accessories

Directions:  Cut Year of Cheer paper long enough to wrap around candy bar (length of candy bar by enough to wrap and overlap in the back).  Cut belly band out of foil or glimmer paper 2" wide by enough to wrap and overlap in the back.  Adhere with adhesive tape.  (Sorry but I don't have the measurements and have sold the candy bars at a church bazaar.)  Card #1 uses Copper Foil Paper for belly band, Silver Glimmer Paper cut with the larger die from Eastern Medallion Thinlits, and Copper Embossing Powder. Card #2 uses Red Glimmer Paper for belly band, gold Foil Snowflake, and red embossing powder.  Card #3 uses Gold Foil Paper for belly band, Silver Foil Snowflake, and Gold Embossing Powder.  Attach main embellishment to front with glue dots. Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment on to Whisper White card stock with versamark, and emboss with coordinating embossing powder.  Punch out with Pretty Label Punch.  Attach to front with dimensionals.
