Floral Gift Box

Hi Everyone this is my first blog ever so here goes....

I love flowers. Whether they are fresh or not.

To make this really useful box you will need the following:-

Two pieces of  Centura Pearl Card 18cms x 18cms in your own colour choice or pale pink. (You need one piece for the base and another for the lid).

A sheet of homemade paper in your own colour choice. I used a sheet of copier paper + my Luminarte sprays Poppy Red, Yellow Rose and Pearl Gold. I sprayed the sheet of paper with patches of colour then scrunched the paper and inked with Tim Holtz Barn Door Distress Ink.

Two sheets of paper from Crafter's Companion paper crafting Cd-Rom 'Angelica & Friends collection' in your own colour choice.

A die cutting machine - I used my Grand Calibur with the following dies:-.
LIT122 Kreaxions Flower Die + DS-ORNFL Die'sire Ornamental Flower Frame + First two dies from Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One.

I made my box by using Crafter's Companion Box Maker and followed their instructions. My final size of my box was 14cms x 14cms. I then cut out my shapes and layed them as shown above. I did put a black gem stone in the middle of my flower and added a few leaves from a previous project. I also added and piece of paper to match around my box but you could use ribbon instead. Make a nice label to match and I am sure you could fill your box with some goodies or you could make a card to match. Have fun!
