While spending some time browsing on Pinterest, I came across these awesome magic boxes and knew I wanted to make one. Since I couldn't find a tutorial on how to put it all together, I did my best to figure it out from the pictures. I decided to make one with floating flowers. I used my pansy punch to make them. After doing all the floating flowers, I found out they weren't going to stay attached to the acetate, so I ended up using some tape to hold them. I don't like the way it looks, but I'm hoping the recipient will be so awed, they won't notice.
I wanted the flatter flowers to match, but didn't have any punches in other sizes that were like the pansy punch. I used some similar punches and then used my scissors to reshape the petals for a better match. The leaves were in my stash. The large flowers are raised on a double thickness of foam tape. I thought about adding butterflies, but the inside is so crowded, I almost couldn't get the cover on. Other than the tape, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I love how your brain works, Melody! I cannot for the life of me figure things out just from a picture. I need complete instructions, and then sometime still goof. I love the sponged flowers. It really brings them to my attention. Now, on to see the box opened. TFS!
