Rainy Day Cloud Box Download + Thoughts

Cloud Box

Every once in a while I stop thinking about myself and think of others for a moment or two. Since Chris and I have been out and about the last four months the “every once in a while” is turning into “never”.

I see these boxes at events and weddings all the time. I really like how they close, forming a shape (usually a heart) that pops out. The problem with these boxes is that they’re white. Plain. Boring. I was trying to think outside the box (I didn’t stray far at all) for the shape of the top. Hearts are overdone, butterflies are not my style and stars are SOO last month. I like clouds. Clouds are a bunch of circles put together. I like circles, too. But how would I tie in the clouds with treats? After a few hours of brainstorming this is what Chris and I came up with:

Most clouds have a silver lining. This one has chocolate.

Click on the image above to download IS•LY’s newest freebie. I have one request: would you please print at least one, fill it with chocolate and give it to someone who might be having a bad day? I’m not sure who to give mine to, but I’ll think of someone and let you know.

      Melissa, you are a genius. I was super sick the last few days and I have a friend who did me some amazing huge favors and I was thinking of ways I could thank her. But of course you’re way more creative than me, so I’m just going to use you:) Thanks for being amazing!

      I love these sweet little boxes so much that I’ll be using them for my wedding favors!
      Our June wedding will DEFINITELY be rained on, so these wonder little bins will be a perfect way to acknowledge mother nature’s hand in our celebration.
