Whats up crafty ? - Oh just a cake slice!

Hello everyone
It was wonderful to have u guys enter in the blog hop
 (Sorry for the lil glitch earlier , we sadly had a no show)
But never mind :) we just like to keep going forward  !
So earlier i had posted about how things will change in BGC ?
and by that i meant , more interaction with u all !
Oh yea ! we will have deets posting a tip or a trick or
just simply what they were up to (craft wise :P ) apart from
the challenges.
So every once in a while we will have a post named
"Whats up crafty ?" 
where in the future DT members (in rotation) 
will post details , tutes or tips of any thing they made recently :) 
Cool right ??
Its good for those who don't follow the dt's individually,
So we bring it all here to u ! :)

So for the start here is the 1st ever
Whats up crafty ? post !!
And i say its a CAKE SLICE BOX !!

So I have this nice little box to share with u guys !
I made like 50 of these for new years :) and gifted them off with chocolates in them !

Well the die used here to make this box was -
Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Box w/Lid, Cake Slice
Its pretty quick , just run the die through the machine with your card stock on it 
and then later with your pattern paper .
Best thing about this die is that u can even run Chip boards through it ! 
The flower i have used here is handmade :) 
Simple scrap ribbon from my mom's old sewing days ,
and a pearl on top does the trick. 
Let me know your thoughts !
For more details pls visit my blog - here
Supplies :
