“Banner Smoochie” Birthday Box

This is my very first time making a box but it will not be my last.  I had so much fun making and decorating it.  TBS (The Stamping Boutique) is celebrating their 3^rd birthday all month.   This is one of my other DT projects, see next post for first one.  There is a challenge going on at TSB called “Banners Days” all you have to do is include a banner in your project.  Get going now and join in the challenge at:  http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/challenge-47-banner-days.html
If you like the digi stamp I used you can buy it at:  http://www.thestampingboutique.com/item_554/Banner-Smoochie-Digital-Stamp.htm  The Stamping Boutique is having a 30 % off sale right now.

I made my own flowers and the rose on top is made with the EK Success Medium, it has 8 layers.  For the flowers around the bottom I used the EK Success Small and it has 3 layers.  The 3D butterfly on top is made from 3 MS butterfly punches.  I just love the 3D effect it gives.

I used in this project:

TSB – “Banner Smoochie” image 
Spellbinders – Circle and Lace Circle Dies
EK Success – Medium and Large Retro Flower Punches
MS – Butterfly Punch
Queen & Co. – Bling
Blue ink to distress edges of butterfly
