SWEET TOOTH BOXES AND FLOWER SHOPPE CRICUT CARTRIDGES

Here are a few boxes I made using the 3D cartridges from Provo Craft.  I recieved a brand new Gypsy from Provo Craft customer service and used it to get the lid and the box to match sizes.  I used paper from my stash and even printed the blue flower with my Imagine machine and the Flower Shoppe Cartridge.  When I bought my Imagine machine, I had no idea it would fill in images from my standard carts with prints from the Imagine Cartridges.  I did not even use my Copic Markers on these boxes.  The maximun size, however, is 4" square to cut from a 12" by 12" sheet of paper.
I distressed the edges of the flowers and the light colored box with gold and brown ink pads and a small sponge.  I also cut a liner about 1/4 inch smaller than the outside box for stability, then assembled it and put it inside the the original box.
I then sprayed the flowers and lids with spray adhesive and covered them with glitter from Art Institute of Glitter in Cottonwood, Arizona.  I call the Art Glitter store the happiest place in Cottonwood and will be teaching a class on August 27th on these boxes.  Every student will take their box home with them to use as a gift box or just a to enjoy themselves.  More information can be obtained at the Art Glitter Institute or call 928-639-0805
