YET ANOTHER BOX WITH ONE MY HANDMADE FLOWERS!!!

Happy Thursday evening to all of you still awake at this 11 p.m. hour!!!  It seems as though I'm only finding time in the evening to hurry to get in some crafting.  I've really been enjoying being in and out, enjoying the summer weather while getting in some much needed craft shopping along the way!

I'm noticing a couple of new followers that I'd love to welcome!!!  I hope you'll make yourselves at home and come often.  I love having you, and if I can find you I'll be visiting with you as often as I can too! 

Moving along, I've got another box with one of my handmade flowers to share.  I told you you'd be seeing these flowers and I'm having a great time putting them on these boxes.  Eventually I'll get them all used up (maybe not all on boxes though)! 

This box is an A2 card box and will hold 6 - 8 cards with envelopes.  Now, there's a story behind this box; the cut.file I used was my very FIRSTcut.file!!!  I can't believe I actually stumbled across it after almost 2 years!  I was looking through some of my box cut.files, found this, and had to have some fun with it.  I'll tell you what I mean by that in a moment; first, here's the box:

Doesn't it look soooo pretty?   The paper I used is from the DCWV Luxury Stack and it's sort of platinum colored with gold designs in it.  I added an old earring to the flower, and edged the lip and edges of the flap of the box with gold Stickles to complete it (you know I love my Stickles).  

Okay now, maybe not by looking at it, but this box is really absolutely horrible -- the cut.file, that is!!!  Sure it works, but if you could actually see the cut.file itself, I would be totally embarrassed.  I can't even believe -- now -- that when I finally completed this box almost 2 years ago and put it together I was sooooo happy with it and proud of it!!!  It's not that I'm that great at creating cut.files 2 years later, but I'm a heck of a lot better compared to this one!!!  When I opened this cut.file and looked at it, I thought I'd laugh myself sick it was so bad!!!  But like I said, it worked!  It's hard for me to believe by looking at the cut.file but it does come together.

So, because of the bad cut.file, I have not provided you a cut.file of this one.  However, I am going to redo it and post a cleaner and more user-friendly cut.file of this A4 box for you...  But, like I mentioned earlier, I had to have some fun with it!

Looks can be deceiving can't they!!!  LOL!!!

I'll be seeing you!
