I started with the Bouquet cut from Wrap It Up using the Box feature. I added it to the mat of my Gypsy and sized it how I wanted it (my box has a finished size of 3x4.25 after being folded). I then went in and used the Hide Contour feature to delete the rose cutout on the pillow box. I then added the ChickEgg (shift feature) and all it’s layers from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I love how I can put everything on one mat and not worry about putting cartridges in my Expression! Here are my finished cuts (I pre-folded the pillow box so you could see the lines).
Next I got out some of my favorite supplies and started assembling my project.
I really recommend using a nice strong adhesive for putting your box and layers together – I used my Scor-Tape and it holds perfectly. Notice that I did punch a small semi-circle on one end of my pillow box – it makes it much easier to get the goodies out this way.
After assembling my little Chick I added tiny black Crystal Gems using my I-Rock tool (LOVE THIS!) and it really helps to give it some dimension and life. I used my Scor-Tape to put my Chick together and to adhere my ribbon to my box (this is so quick and easy – and it really stays!). I few SSD Micro Open Roses and a SSD Bow as a finishing touch and I have a cute (and quick) Easter project!
I would love to know what you think of this fun little project!
