I cut the inside of the box at 4" and the outside of the box was cut slightly larger, I think 4.10" or 4.20." I used my Gypsy to size everything, I made this box to fit a gift card. I used a green cardstock for the box. Once they were cut, I embossed the top part of the gift box with the Polka Dots embossing folder. I then assembled the boxes and cut a piece of floral paper to fit inside the bottom portion of the box. I think the inside should be pretty too! :) The flowers are from Mother's Day Boquet. I cut four flowers in various sizes, two in pinks and two in yellows. I inked the edges of the flowers and curled up their petals. I cut the middles from the cartridge as well and then inked the edges and stmped Peachy Keen faces on them. I used pop-dots to adhere the middles to the flowers. The leaves are also from Mother's Day Boquet. I used a paper crimper on them and then inked them. Nice and simple....and perfect for a springtime birthday or thank you!!

Hi, Paula! Thanks so much for visiting my new blog and for following me! I really appreciate that. I think it would make an adorable gift box for a charm or something small like that. I need to participate in some challenges after I get my blog going a little more smoothly. TFS!
