Twisted Easel Ice Skates

  Hello my crafty friends! Just posting a sweet little Diagonal Lidded Treat Box with a Gardenia on it created from Susan's Garden latest release Through the Garden Gate from Spellbinders .  The little treat box is just the right size to hole 4 Ferrero Rocher candies or Lindt Truffles (which I need to purchase). Susan stepped out creating this box on her Wednesday "Live" Video last week Susan's Garden Club which you can find here .  There is also another video by Paper Pixie for construction for the little box which can be found here. The Gardenia was created from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper , Copic Markers, Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and Kids Choice Glue .  Susan will have a YouTube video up shortly for creating this flower. Thanks for stopping by today I so hope that you try this little box it is very easy and fun! Until next time - Happy Crafting! Christine You only live once if you live right once is enough! Unknown
