Step 2: Add Pattern to the Box

•Stencil a pattern on the box using the Perfect Presents Stencils and Hibiscus Burst Ink.

Step 3: Add Shimmer and Dimension

Step 5: Assemble the Gift

Step 6: Add Floral and Tag Details

•Die cut flowers and leaves from the Into the Blooms: Daisies Die Set, and adhere them to the present.
