Now for a little info about my project. I love the beautiful cards and projects you can create working with Heartfelt Creations stamps and matching dies. I created a box for this challenge. I used a 6x6 box from Cosmo Cricket. The top was covered with design paper from the Basic Grey "Wassail paper pad". The box has an opening on top so I traced the opening and cut it out with scissors. A gold metallic marker was used to outline this opening. The beautiful message is from the HCPC 3354 Heartfelt Creations Classic Message PreCut set. It was gold embossed then attached to the inside of the lid. Ten flowers from the HCPC 2291 Regal Poinsettia 2 Precut Set were gold embossed on ivory card stock. They were cut out with the matching Blossom 2 Nestabilities die. On three of the flowers, the back petals were cut off so I could create dimension. These were layered onto another flower, that did not have petals cut off, with dimensional tape. They were arranged on top of the box. Martha Stewart punched branches were tucked in around the flowers. The pretty gold rhinestone flourishes are from Zva Creative. A pretty lace trim was attached to the sides of the box with ScorTape. Hope you enjoyed seeing my project.  All products used can be purchased from Joan's Gardens.
