I'm not sure how much longer I could have held my family off from eating these Homemade Chocolate Truffles. I left them strict orders not to touch the ones in this pretty decorated tin, so far so good! I think they've left just one on the plate of extras because no one wanted to admit they finished them! My tin holds 5 Truffles, if you make them a tad smaller, you might be able to fit 8. I think it makes a great little gift to have handy for the holidays.
To decorate the tin, I used Sticky Strip to adhere a strip of Basic Grey Figgy Pudding to the tin, then adhered a piece of Riding Hood Red Ribbon, I used the Bow Easy to create the pretty bow, and secured that in place with Glue Dots. To create the Tag I used the sentiment from the JustRite A Merry Little Christmas Set and the 1-5/8" Wood Stamper, stamping in Riding Hood Red on White card stock. I used the Spellbinders Circle Dies to cut my White card stock, then layered it on a Red panel. I adhered the tag to the tin using dimensionals, then added a few Silver Pearls.

Here I used the Wood Stamper 1-3/16" with Bonus 60pt. Font Set & Damask Borders to personalize my gift for a friend. I did a bit of omitting on the Damask image, as I didn't want the top and bottom crest over the monogram to show. I inked up the image in Black and stamped on White card stock, then cut my card stock using a Square Spellbinders Dies to fit the opening.
