To make these simple favors, I started with a 3" x 3" piece of cardstock. Make a scored line at 3/4" on each side. Also, make a diagonal scored line in each corner square (as shown below):
Next, fold along scored lines (folding each corner outward). Using a 1/8" hole punch, punch a hole in each corner (close to the scored line). Thread a piece of ribbon through the holes in each corner and tie a double knot to form a box. Simple!!
To decorate, stamp your image on white and punch out with a Marvy (blue) oval punch. Punch 2 pieces of colored cardstock with a Marvy (pink) scalloped oval punch. Color in your image and glue to one of the scalloped ovals. Glue this piece to the inside of the box (as shown above).
Glue the remaining scalloped oval to the back of the box. Then just fill with your favorite treat!!!
Stamps used: #5052 (Koala), #4017 (Script Thank You), #5036 (Little Monkey), #6012 (just Because) and #C118 (Baxter).

One more thing to share. It's a long-distance RAK from Edna. Edna is originally from Hawaii, but now works at Pacific University in Oregon. Here is a thank you gift they made for their Hawaiian Club luau (using a lot of Dandelion stamps!!):
