This is the box we made in our Sweet Taffy Class. I promised I would put the directions on my blog since so many wanted to recreate it for gifts.
 Supplies needed:
6 x 11 Rich Razzleberry 
4 x 5 Daffadil Delight (you will need 2 of these)
2 x 6 top border using the designer paper from Sweet Taffy (2 of these)
Tea lace doilies Page 192
Rich Razzelberry Ribbon page 207
Buttons in the Bright  page 208
Dazzling Details page 213
Sticky Strip page 204
Variety of punches sold on page 220 and 222
Scallop Circles, word window, and Scallop Edge Border.





I forgot to mention that I also used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool sold on page 214.
It makes projects like this a whole lot easier! Great for trifold cards too.
With the 6 x 11 Rich Razzelberry cardstock, score it at 4 1/2  inches in on both ends.
Take the Daffodil Delight 4 wide x 5 long, you will need two of these, one for each side. Score at 1, 2, and 3 on the 4 wide side. Turn and score one end at 1 inch. 
Fold in all of your score marks. Where you have the one inch score mark, use your scissors and cut in one inch or to the next score mark as shown on the right in this photo. Using your sticky strip, place a strip on the sides and bottom center. The bottom two corners will fold up inside of the box which you can adhere with snail.
 Punch out 2 each of Tempting Turquoise and Daffadil Delight using the 2 3/8 scallop circle punch. Next punch out 2 Mellon Mambo with the 1  3/4 scallop circle punch. 2 tempting turquoise using the 1  1/4 circle punch.
I than used my bone folder to loosen the paper fibers which means, I ran my bone folder over the scallops to curl them so they were not so flat and would give my flower a little more texture.
Next apply the Dazzling details to the out scallop edges of the Daffodil Delight circles and dots on the smaller Tempting Turquoise circles. These will take some time to dry so be careful so they won't smear. 

 After the glitter is dry, start layering your flower. I used my snail to layer. Add  your button last. I used the mini glue dots to attach the button to the last scallop circle.  On the side of the box, add your tea lace doilie with snail. Then attach your scalloped flower with a dimensional. I have done this to both sides.

Using the scallop edge border,  punch the top of the 2 x 6 designer paper.  Place the two papers together and punch the word window punch at the same time to make it easier to center.
Then place Sticky Strip on the lower portion and adhere to the top of your box.
Cut a 15 inch strip of the Rich Razzelberry Ribbon. Cut out 4 scallop circles using the 7/8 scallop circle punch, 2 each of the Tempting Turquoise and 2 each of the Melon Mambo. Attach one scallop to the end of ribbon and place another circle over the top. Do this to the other end of ribbon too. You are done!
Great gift idea. At our class, we made four coordinating cards to put inside!
