Creative Challenge Fall Box

 
Happy Saturday Peeps!!!
 
It is time for another Creative Challenge with my friend Wendy from WeeBeeStampin4Fun!
 
I knew when I got my Stitched  Leaves Dies and the Festive Felt that I wanted to do 
some "stitching" on the leaves. I used some embroidery floss to add my stitch lines.
 
I love how they turned out, even tho it was a bit challenging. It was hard to see the lines on the dark felt.
I ended up adding card stock to the back of the felt, which made seeing the stitch lines much easier.
 
I did use a non SU item, the roses are made with a Sizzix die.
I say if you have it use it!
I made my roses using Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie card stock.
 
 
I  used a die cut from the Hippo and Friends dies for my base piece to mount the leaves and roses on using Very Vanilla card stock. I embossed this die cut with one of the Mini EF in the Greenery Embossing Folder.
 
I die cut a few "berry sprigs" using Gold Foil paper and a die from the Poinsettia Dies to add around the leaves.
 The ribbon is from the Forever Greenery Combo pack and the "hello" come from the Life is Beautiful stamp set.
I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso onto a scrap of Very Vanilla and die cut with a tag die in the Mini Curvy Keepsake box die.

 
I used Early Espresso card stock for the bottom of the box. It is an 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 square.
I scored at 2-1/4 on all four sides.
The top is a piece of DSP from the Gilded Autumn Specialty pack. The DSP is a 6-1/4 x 6-1/4 inch square, scored at 1-1/8 inch on all four sides.
The box comes together to be a 4 inch square that is 2-1/4 inch tall.
