i-Crafter January Release

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to the i-Crafter 1st Release of the New Year. Today I am using the new Cherry Blossom Box dies. It makes a fun votive holder or and fancy box to hold a gift. Below you will find the steps for 2 Cherry Blossom Boxes.

Cherry Blossom Box Votive Holder

Step 1 - Diecut Cherry Blossom Box main die and the rectangle pattern inside the main die x5 in various colors of Cardstock. I used Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue for a rainbow theme. Diecut the Pentagon die in any of the 5 colors used. Score all the embossed lines. The pentagon shape is the bottom. Adhere each side to the bottom and then to the sides by adding glue to the flap.

Step 2 - Insert a battery operated votive. To close the box gently press all the tops down and they link together.
