Tissue Box

This is a great idea for storing cards, notepads, and many other things. I've used mine to store all my acrylic blocks.


Paper: Bravo Burgundy Cardstock, Cottage Wall DSP, Whisper White, Old Olive
Ink: Rose Red and/or Bravo Burgundy Classic Pad, Old Olive Marker
Punch: Ornament, 1 3/8" Circle
Accessories: Sponge, Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive, Bone Folder, Empty Tissue Box

Instructions: Punch out (1) 1-3/8" Circle and 20-30 petals using the Ornament Punch out of Whisper White or Very Vanilla. Punch out (2) leaves using the Ornament Punch in your choice of greens. Use a sponge and ink to add color to the edges of each petal. Then use your bone folder to curl the edges of each petal. Start with your circle, add (4) petals, then layer (4) more petals again and again getting closer to the center of your circle each time and curling the petals more and more toward the center. Your last petal or two, you might want to wrap around a pencil or something to get a tighter curl.
