PETAL CONE BIRTHDAY FAVOR BASKET...

Isn't this a fun little favor basket?  We made this box at my Birthday Bonanza class last month.  No stamping and minimal embellishment on this one.  Just a cheery little box to use for a  birthday favor.  Or change up the DSP/card stock for a baby shower or wedding favor.  And it's made with the Petal Cone Die!  Yet another use for this awesome die!

The DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Ice Cream Parlor.  So cute!  This is the last week to get your FREE paper (or stamp sets, etc.).  Don't miss out!  The tutorial for the box follows the recipe.  Enjoy!
