I made this little project based on the dimensions from Splitcoaststampers resources page Here.
It will hold the 4 note cards we made in my February stamp class?
Didn't attend?...
There.. there... 
well here's what you missed.
Each one is made using a different watercolor technique. All are stamped with Black Stazon ink on watercolor paper.
I think we all learned something new that day!
Here is a small tutorial for how to make the flower on the front of the box.
Start by punching out strips from the Lace Ribbon Border punch and cut apart the individual 'flowers' You will need at least 8 or 9 flowers.
I crumpled them up and then opened them back up again.
Punch a 1 inch circle from the same color as your flower.
Add some Tombow liquid glue to the entire surface of the 1 inch circle.
Start adding your 'petals' around in a circle overlapping each one over the top of the last. 
When you add the fifth petal, lift up the first petal that you added and tuck the fifth one under so they are all overlapping each other. Clear as mud? 
Next layer... repeat same as the first layer but you will only need 3 petals.
Punch a hole using the Paper-Piercing Tool ... lovingly called THE POKEY at my stamp classes!
Add the last petal to an Antique brad before inserting into the flower.
Reshape your petals by squishing them up around the brad.
Adhere it to your project using dimensionals. I love those thingys!
DONE!
SHOP 24/7!
Stop in again and stamp with me!

This was a really FUN invitation that I made for my grandsons' pirate birthday party! Aaarrgghhh, Matey!!
This is how the backside of the envelop was stamped... CUTE!! wait.. I mean... AAARRGHH!! CUTE is for girls!
Front of the invitation was embossed using a striped embossing folder.
Gold glossy cardstock for the keyhole, and some brads to embellish.
Inside of invitation was printed on parchment paper in a script font, and we burned the edges of the paper to try to make it look old!
The boys had a super fun party!
Here's another wedding invitation that I made...
Jim & Christine's colors were chocolate and red. This was held shut by a ribbon belly band. The medallion hanging has his last initial on.
You can see the vellum cutout they wanted on the inside of the invitation. The decorative vellum was a hinge so it could be lifted easily to see the actual invitation.
Here you can see the vellum, embossed cover which was partially covering their invitation.
On the right-hand side had a pocket which held their RSVP card and envelop.
The outside of the invitation was stamped with Fall leaves.
Here are some pictures of invitations that I've made in the past... I don't think I ever posted these before:
Here are pictures of our wedding invitations:
This is the very front of the invitation.
Invitation and envelope
< Top part was our invitation
< Bottom was a pocket for the RSVP card and return envelop
< Flap on bottom gave Reception information.
It was a lot of fun making them. Me and Leo worked on them together!
VE how these product coordinate together? I used the same size framelit to cut out a piece of basic black cardstock, cut it in half, and use it as a mat behind the focal point. The Whisper White cardstock is embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Embossing folder, and I used the de-bossed side. I like to switch things up a bit! 
) them back out again. Punch a 1 inch circle from Basic Black card stock, and snip tiny cuts toward the center all around the entire circle. 
). Stack this on top of the 5 scallops, and use your POKIE to poke a hole to insert your Antique Brad. It reminds me of a poppy flower!
