With Great Love. I love that sentiment! It speaks so true to life. Last weekend I had the pleasure to get to meet up with my friend Chao. We had a craft night at her house. I always have trouble deciding what to take to a small crop activity. So I decided I would take my Cricut Mini, Gypsy, and Giant Flowers cartridge handbook. Normally, I would not bother taking the handbook but in the case of this cartridge, it is necessary. The handbook has the assembly directions and quantities need to assemble each flower.
Today I am sharing this project not only with my readers but the readers at the Pink By Design Blog. If you have not stopped by the blog- DO IT! There are daily posts with lots of variety and inspiration!

I started by making this "stand". This cut is actually from Sweet Treats and is cut 5.83 inches. It is the favor holder, turned upside down. I also cut his tag and its matching layer at 2.42 inches from Art Philosophy. The paper is from Webster Pages.
Next I layered lace around the edge of the box. I secured the lace with hot glue. I then added the tag with pink burlap twine. and crinkle ribbon.
Finally I added the peony on top. The peony was cut at 5.0 inches. All the petals were shaped and inked. I added some leaf cuts from Flower Shoppe. The leaves are cut at 4.12, 4.75 and 5.0 inches. All the leaves have been shaped and inked.
I thought this would be a nice gift for a friend. Or it could be used as a place setting or centerpiece for a shower or luncheon.
Here are some close ups. I love this sentiment from Pink By Design. It is from Believe in Yourself.
This is the flower from the top. I will keep working on perfecting making this flower and then I will do a video. I hope everyone has a creative day!
