I am just in love with the new Cricut Flower Shoppe and Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridges! I love the quick and easy projects that can be made with them!
Above, using K and Co. paper, I cut the box at "fit to page" to make it as large as possible.
Quickly and easily, I put the box together using Terrifically Tacky Tape. I inked the edges of the lid to create some definition between the lid and body of the box.
Now, for the really fun part: making the flower! I just love the new Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge - so easy and quick to make gorgeous flowers! I cut this flower at 3-1/2" for the bottom layer and then went down in sizing by 1/2" for the next layer, then by 1/4" afterwards. The best thing to do is experiment with making the flowers using the different shapes and layers.
I am sorry this post isn't longer. I came down with strep throat and am just trying to recover.

Have a great day!

That box is gorgeous. I have a request. Could you please put a reference item in your pictures so we can judge the size of the box? It is so hard to know if it would be of interest when you cannot tell the size. I LOVE your projects so much and I am not complaining, just looking for some additional information!
Thanks as always for sharing.

Love love this box. What is terrifically tacky tape? Is that like double sided tape? Thanks for the chance to win and the wonderful ideas.
Look what you did . . . you made me go and order both carts. I wasn't suppose to order more carts. I have no shelf space left for more carts. Now I'm going to have to get another shelf (and a step-stool since the new shelf will have to be hung higher than I can reach). Oh, and beautiful work, as usual.
Love the box it turned out beautiful.
I can see why you like these carts. Very cute project. 2 more cartridges on my wish list. Thanks
What cute boxes! I now have to try my hand at one Thanks

Get well soon Melanie, strep is awful especially this time of year. The box is great- I did not notice that when I first looked at the cartridge.
