Last Stamp Camp Project!!!

Good morning!!  Here's the project I promised you!!  How cute is this little box?!!!

Nachocamp1
Nachocamp1a

I know we've seen these around, so what makes this one different?  It's teeny tiny!!!  I used the new Scallop Squares Duo Die, coming out in the Holiday Mini TOMORROW!!!  The top and bottom of this box are only 3" x 3"!!  So cute!!!  The top is decorated with the Wicked Fun Specialty Paper and the Wicked Cool Stamp Set--both from the "Big" catalog!  Colors used were Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry!

I sized this box to hold 4 Hershey Nuggets:

These are also decorated with strips of the Wicked Fun Specialty Paper--about 1" x 3".  I do recommend using Sticky Strip to adhere the paper to the nuggets--just holds it a bit better!

And, as promised, here are the measurements:
