Yum.
Acetate is fun to work with. I use GBC Presentation Covers from Staples. They are $12.99 for 25 sheets. I think they have just enough weight to make cards and alterables.
Here is the Ghiradelli Chocolate Squares in a Hugs & Kisses Box! Template is available here!
I used my Cuttlebug for the felt heart, scalloped rectangle and embossing. I found it easier to stamp the cardstock before scoring it. But, it really doesn’t matter. I found stamping it after made the Stazon “smoosh” on the acetate because it wasn’t flat.
I hope you have fun with them! They are a little bit of labor. But when you do it a couple of times, it gets easier to do. You could even mix things up. You can put a couple chocolate square on the bottom, fill the middle in with Hershey kisses or Lindt truffles and then put a couple more squares on top to make the box really full. In the picture below, you can see the bottom of the box.
