YAY!!!! I got my Cricut Explore after a long long research and comparison. For the first cut I wanted it to be simple and straight....so I chose a box with straight edges. The cuts were very crisp and clean, much much better than my cricut expression. The size of the box is 2.5 inch.
For the topper I used Cheerylynn Polynesian sails Mini doily die and flower cutouts from an old greeting card. Added glitter and glaze to the flower to give a glossy effect.
Made a double bow and added a small ribbon flower bunch which I got from an old hair clip and for the closure I used magnet.
Now for the surprise
"Pop goes the Flower"
The rose was made with Tim holtz flower die with little sparkle from wink of Stella. For the spring I used 2 one inch strips.
And one more thing the pop up flower is removable, used Velcro to attach it to the base. Ideal for small gifts.
Adding it to
Oh wow !! ..this box looks so pretty and that surprise element is just amazing , the velcro flower is such a clever idea !!
