Good Morning Sistahs!
Thank you for entering my Blogaversary Giveaway last week. I'll be posting the winner later this afternoon.
I have been wanting to make a 3x3 card box for quite a while now, so I finally decided that today is the day. I've had the tutorial printed out and waiting ever so patiently to be used. *wink. I had the hardest time deciding which image to use, but I finally settled on the Gerbera Daisy from 3-Step Honey Bunny and the sentiments from 3-Step School Days.
(PLEASE forgive me for the photos, I had to take photos without my Ott Lamp or any natural light whatsoever. Grrrr.)
Here's a photo of the box with one of the cards on top of it.
And here's one with the cards separately.
I actually made 8 of these, but since I'm out of my regular photo environment, I only took a picture of 3. These were so super fun and easy to make, especially with the EK Success Punch that adds the little dots to the scallops all in one easy step. Yay!! (Here's a hint, cut your paper about 1/4" larger than you need it to be, so after you punch it, it fits perfectly!)
Now, my sistahs, I have some very sad news...the truly talented, wonderfully amazing and uncontestedly creative Tammy is posting for the last time as a Kitchen Sink Crew Member. <insert sad face here> So when you blop on over to check out her blog today, please give her your well wishes and let her know just how much she'll be missed on Mondays. She has been a great source of inspiration to us all, and I know Mondays won't be the same without her.
Inky Hugs & Happy Stampin'
Gotta get that punch!! Your beautiful cards remind me how much I love this flower, too!! It took me a while to learn to line it up correctly, but now I have the pieces marked and get it perfect every time!! Thanks, Angela, for this wonderful inspiration!!

This will make a lovely set for someone special. I love that flower. It's fabulous! And I love making these gift boxes. You can do them any size you want and not spend hours searching for the right thing.

What a cute project, Angela! That would make such a nice teacher gift, I think!
