Take a sheet of check paper from the Burleigh Blue 12x12 paper pack. With the X Cut multi scoreboard extra place the sheet of paper pattern side down on line 6. Make sure you leave an equal distance each side of the elipse shapes and score both of the curved shapes. Repeat at the opposite end of the paper. You should now have two curved shapes either end of your paper.

Line up the centre of the 2 elipse shapes top and bottom along line 6 on the board and score this will be your box fold. At the other end of the curve top and bottom score to create the tab that will glue your box together and repeat the other side. Cut along the curved shapes top and bottom.

Score two lots of bow shapes with the largest and second largest elipse shapes on the multiscoreboard in Parkstone Pink and Burleigh Blue papers and cut out. Trim the pointed edges and stick together and add a pink blitter in the centre.
