Surprise Box

So the challenge on Simon Says Challenge is for anything but a card, so the brain went on an immediate meltdown. Of course a simple bookmark will do but at the time I didn't think of that decided to have a go at making a box I see demo at Crafts U Love. When you take the lid off the side fall down and there a surprise inside. My advice is to decorate the sides first before you do the inside. I've use the Deer with Forest Family stamps from Simon Says Stamps. The papers are Crate paper Lillian. The tree is cut from the Graphically Speaking cartridge on the cricut.
You can see all four sides on Simon Says Challenge blog.
This is what inside, I use Martha Stewart punched butterflies, I stuck them back to back with acetate stripe in the middle. I had to lift them off when I realise I needed to decorate the outside, so the tape was dirty and you could see, so I sprinkle flowers soft over the bottom and added the larger flowers. I didn't add pearls on the butterflies thought the weight might make them flop over. I think I will stick to cards less stressful.
So did you see my news over on Pink Gem, Janet asked me to be on her DT, can't believe it was 2007 when Janet won my first ever candy.
