I love springtime, as there are such pretty flowers to admire bursting into bloom. Also, there are some beautiful cutting files in the Craft Room Library that can be teamed up with pretty floral papers to create a lovely 3D project.
Today I have used the Banner Box cutting file in the Pazzles Library for my gift box. I have cut this out using pretty floral paper. Remember you can resize the box smaller or larger using your Pazzles software. I also resized the banner overlay to make a smaller banner in coordinating paper as a background for my flower.
I was browsing through the Tips and Tricks section in the Craft Room and came across a blog post, Dimensional Flowers. I watched the accompanying video tutorial on how to create 3D Flowers which includes several cutting files for you to use.
I used one of the flowers and leaves included in the download to create my flower embellishment for my box. Having watched the video it was easy to assemble and get the natural look of the flower. I also cut out some small 3-D Butterflies as added decoration to my banner box. Finally, I filled my gift box with some Natural Grass and added some self-adhesive rhinestones to my embellishments.
