Primrose Gift Box






I've wanted to try my hand at two projects that I've seen on the Stampin' Connection website from two very talented crafters.

The first is from Cristena Bagne and her box tutorial.  I used most of her dimensions, but I shortened mine to 6" in height instead of 8.5".  Her tutorial can be found here: http://gettincraftyclasses.ning.com/forum/topics/summer-time-gift-box-preview-video-5

The second is from Erin Mise and her Ornamental Rose tutorial. Her tutorial can be found here: http://www.shescraftycrew45.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
