Cut it UP!!
Petal Pink Cardstock 1-8 1/2 x 2; 1-1 3/4 x 3; 1-3x6

Blackberry Bliss 1 - 10 1/2 x 2 1/2; 1- 1 3/4x3
Mossy Meadow 3x1/1/2
Punch it UP!
Using the medium daisy punch, punch 3-4 using petal pink; using the large daisy punch cut 3-4 using blackberry bliss; cut 2 leaves using the leaf punch and the mossy meadow card stock; cut 1 of the smallest scallop circle using the big shot. Punch 1 of each petal pink and blackberry bliss using the pretty label punch.
Create a flower!!
Take the small circle and trace in the middle of the scallop circle. Next cut the scallop circle into 4ths with your paper snips.
Next with your paper snips, cut at every indent on the scallop up to the penciled circle line.
Now take one of the facet gems, and place in the center of the good side of the scallop circle (with out the pencil mark) and press down on your leg or the paper piercing mat so that the edges begin the fold upwards.
Continue working with your fingers around the outer edge of the circle until all the petals are facing upwards. You have completed the center of your flower. Set aside.
Next take your sponge dauber and the rich razzelberry ink and dab the color on your 4 petal pink flower petals as well as the outer edge of the card and the label.
Now using glue dots add your petals together one on top of each other.
Next take the center crushed curry and add it to the center of the 3-4 petals. Then work around the flower so that you bring the petals up closer to the center.
Next put together the outer edge of petals in the blackberry bliss in the same manner as before and then add to the petal pink layer and fold petals up towards the center. Now your flower is complete. Set aside.
Making the box...
Construct the box after taking off the plastic protective wrap. Take the long piece of DSP and wrap around the box starting in the middle of the top. Wrap all the way around and then crease your folds a little with the bone folder to make crisp corners. Add a bit of glue on the top and overlap to create the wrap around the box. Don't make it too tight as this band will have to slip off and back on after adding treats to the box.
Next glue your flower to the center of the DSP wrap that was overlapped on the top to hide the fold.
Next take the folding bone and carefully add a bit of curve to your leaves. Then glue the leaves to the top of the box underneath the flower. Your Pretty Little Treat Box is now complete.
Matching card.....
Stamp 'Smile' in rich razzelberry ink on the petal pink tag. Take the blackberry bliss tag and cut it in half length ways. Next add the petal pink tag on top to add the shadow effect.
Take the whisper white polk-a-dot tulle ribbon and wrap around the DSP and secure with snail on the back side and then attach the DSP to the card front. Next take dimensional and add them to the back of your tag and attach to the front of the car centered on the ribbon. Finish off by adding a rhinestone to the dot on the 'i'.
On the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment with rich razzelberry ink and also the daisy in the corner. Add the shimmery crystal effects to the centre of the daisy and let it dry.
