By Scrapbooking Cecilia

“Hello G45 crafty friends, Cecilia here with this scrap treat box with a compartment under the lid, perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day or any special occasion. It’s a beautiful and different treat box that you can make easily and with a few elements, at the end of this post, you will find the measurements for the three pieces and here is the list of what I used:

Graphic 45 Time To Flourish 8” x 8” paper pad.
Graphic 45 Policy & Decorative dies.
Graphic 45 Large Tag, ATC & Flower Metal dies.
Graphic 45 cream cardstock provided in your Pattern & Solids pads.
Shabby white embossing enamel by Stampendous.
A piece of acetate about: 3 ½” x 2 ¾”.
Velum to cut out your flowers.
Inks to add color to your flowers.
Leftover pieces of chipboard to add dimension on the embellishments.
A piece of twine for the tag.
Some small pearls, beads and sequins.

I have some Tips for you:

TIP – This time I used velum to make my flowers because they look so light and delicate, perfect to match with the beautiful papers! Shape them as usual, but don’t use water, just your inks with a sponge.

TIP – The compartment under the lid is ½” deep, so keep all the embellishments in that space. I checked with my hand every time I was adding elements, specially die cuts with chipboard on the back.
