Color the inside of the leaves with Distress Peeled Paint. Shape the bud using your Deluxe Flower Shaping Tool Kit.

Using white cardstock, cut your card base 12" x 6 2/16". Place a bone fold at the 7 1/4" this will leave you with 4 3/4" Cut another piece of white card stock 7 1/4" x 6 2/16". Adhere over the smaller piece to create 1 large size card. Let the join go to the back. Measure the small section at the back and add a piece of black cardstock.

For your insert cut 1 black mat 7" x 6" and a matching white mat 6 3/4"x 5 3/4".

For the front sentiment mats, cut 1 white mat 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", cut 1 black mat 3" x 3", cut 1 white mat 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and stamp the smaller mat with the "Happy Anniversary" stamp from the Celebrate Love Sentiments Stamp Set using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Using 3d adhesive adhere your black mat to the bottom white mat and using 3d adhesive adhere your sentiment mat to the black mat. 

To create your decorate panel, die cut the panel from your Ornate Pockets & Accents Die. Trim the top black strip as desired and insert a white strip of card so that a little white section slips through the opening to the desired height. Adhere in place using your designer dries clear adhesive and then trim the bottom to a point. Add 1 medium flowers and leaves as desired. You will create a second decorative panel when creating the box/envelope.

Using your Ornate Pocket Accents Die, die cut 2 dies using black cardstock.

Card Assembly - Adhere your 2 die cuts to the front panel using designer dries clear. Adhere so they line up to create the diamond in the centre. Adhere the Peony blossom and then the peony bud. You want the leaves to be at the top of where the sentiment will sit.

Using 3d adhesive adhere your sentiment mat inside the diamond. Adhere your bow to the top of the diamond. Adhere your flowers to the bottom of the diamond. 1 medium in the middle and 2 small 1 each side. Add leaves as desired.

Adhere your black insert mat and your matching white insert mat on the right side of your card. Adhere your decorative panel to the right hand side. Keep your flowers flat in this section or for a TIP: alternately you can always make a double fold on the card edge approximately 1/2" to allow for a risen flowers.

Box/Envelope Instructions

Trim your black cardstock to 12" x 7 3/4". Place a bone fold at the 3 1/4" mark, then again in 3/4", then again in 7 3/8", and this will leave you 3/4"

Trim your second black cardstock at 4 3/4" x 1 3/4". Place a bone fold on the long edge at 1/2", then 3/4" and this will leave 1/2". You will need to repeat for the second side.

This is how your pieces will look. Using designer dries clear adhesive adhere the larger pieces together, the smaller strips will overlap at the bottom to add the front flap to your envelope and then adhere the sides in to create your box. Adhere the back strips first and then adhere the left and right front strips to make your envelope come together.

To create your second decorate panel, repeat the step from above. Add 1 medium flower and leaves as desired.

Using your Elegant Pockets Die, trim one flourish using black cardstock, keep 2 little flourishes from the offcuts, you will be using these next to your "congratulations" stamp.

Trim your white cardstock 7 1/2" x 4 5/16". Using your Celebrate Love Sentiment Stamps, stamp the congratulations in the center at the bottom. Adhere the 2 offcut flourishes from your Elegant Pockets Die cut. Adhere to the front of the envelope in the bottom section. Place a bow above the sentiment. You will need this in place to line up your decorative panel on the top of the envelope flap. TIP: you can leave adhering this until last to make sure it lines up.

Adhere your decorative top panel to your envelope front so that the tip lines up with the center of the bow and the left and right sides are flush with the edge of the opening flap. Adhere your black decorative flourish above this panel, this conceals where it adheres to the top for a cleaner finish. Add prills to your flowers centres.

Hope you enjoyed my project

Trim each end in a little to make a flap to adhere together to create your box lid. Adhere in place with designer dries clear adhesive. Adhere a patterned mat to the top of the lid.

Color the leaves in the Archival Vivid Chartruese and the flowers in the Pearlescent Lavender and cut with coordinating dies. Adhere the smaller sprays to the front and back of the botanic windows.

Adhere the sentiment to the front applying glue to the bottom lip and then using a dot of glue at the top of each sentiment push together to make a join.

 

Using the smaller daisy sprays, trim down to make 2 smaller pieces adhere one on the top of each side.

When your inner box is completed it will look like this.

Using your paper collection, select the purple border strips, you will need 2 strips. Line up the border and adhere around the edge of the box lid, 1 strip will cover 3 sides, then trim of and adhere the last panel and trim. Line up the larger daisy die cut onto the top of the box lid. When happy with there placement, bend slightly so the flower hangs over the sides. Adhere in place with designer dries clear adhesive on the leave and let the flowers float free.

 

Your box is now complete, add lime green rhinestones to your flower centers. NOTE - I have left the centre box float free, you can adhere in place if you like.
