To make the box I used a free downloadable template which I found HERE

I used the larger template which makes a 6" x 4" box.

I used two of the stamps to make the pattern on the paper and glittered it up !

I looked at the heart die and immediately saw a flower ! 

There is a tutorial HERE on how I made this flower from the die !

Please go check it out.

As I was making it my OH did a double turn and said how much he liked it,

than the journalling square you chose. Adhere with 3D glue to the pillow box.

Ariana Flower Die Tutorial

I thought I would share with you how I made this flower.

I used it on my DT pillow box and card for Heartfelt Creations.

It is made using the Arianna Blooms Die HCD 747

and these are the pieces I used from the set.

Using white card cut two of the heart doily dies out and 

one each of the stamens.

I chose to make the flower pinky and I used

Victorian Velvet Distress Ink apply it with a dauber

that sits on your finger for application.

Ink around the edges of both die cuts

Now shape each petal around something round.

A pen can do it doesn't have to be a fancy tool.

Just curve it round so the petal has shape.

For the lower die cut of the flower gently shape the petals.

But for the inner die cut make them more defined so they stand proud.

I have tried to capture this in the pic below.

Using the same ink as on the petals Ink both sides of the stamens.

Glitter (I use glitter glue) the inside of the stamens

and leave to dry. 

Glitter the edges of the petals and leave to dry.

When dry shape the stamens in your fingers and adhere

together layered up. Make sure they sit so that

the stamens are between each other on the layers. 

Adhere your flower layers together and 

adhere the stamens to the centre of the flower.

Adhere a pearl gem to the centre and put glitter glue

around the edge of the pearl.

Your flower is now complete and can be used on your project !

Hope you like it !!

Happy crafting !!
