Blooming Box

This month the Craftwell Design Teams are featuring Teresa Collins' dies and embossing folders.

I created a blooming box perfect for Spring. I first took the flower die and cut multiple pieces of each flower.  I also cut photo corners on gold foil paper.  Please note when using the magnetic shim, place your die, with the smooth side down.  I wasn't paying attention on my last cut and placed  the die wrong and ended up cutting my magnet sheet.  I now have a cute magnet photo corner for the fridge.

The Cut N Boss' embossing is nice and deep, but you need to use a heavy paper weight otherwise it will tear your paper.  The results are simply gorgeous.  I cut the box on the Cricut Explore and then embossed it using the Diamond embossing folder.

I then took my petals and eBrushed both front and back using Sharpies.


Here is the top view of the Blooming Box.  I added sprigs to the flowers and  used pretty buttons for the centers.

I felt the lid needed more color so I layered two lace ribbons around the edge.  Love these colors! They make me happy!

I added the photo corners to each side of the box.  It really helped ground my box.



I hope you enjoyed my project today.  Thanks for visiting.
