Step by Step
1
Cover a Nesting Box with patterned paper from the Boofle collection.
2
Ink the edges with a pink inkpad.
3
Apply large Boofle buttons around the edge of the box top and infill up to the edge of the box as required with smaller buttons. Add a second row of smaller button inside the first. Use a hot-glue gun to adhere the buttons.
4
Apply further buttons around the rim of the box.
5
Add some ribbon bows from the Parkstone Pink collection at regular intervals around the rim.
6
Die cut the flower shape from green cardstock and emboss using the button embossing folder.
7
Ink the raised sections and add some highlight detail with a white gel pen.
8
Adhere centrally on the box with two layers of 3D foam.
9
Stamp Boofle onto white cardstock using the Kiss Stamping Technique (see the top tip section for this technique). Cut to a circle with a nesting die and add a doodled border.
10
Add a ribbon bow above and a button to Boofle’s belly button, and glue the panel centrally on the box lid.
