A birthday surprise!

I made this mini-explosion box and pillow box gift holder to put in my daughter's lunch bag on her birthday. I was inspired by the mini-explosion box we made at The Stampede to celebrate Cricut's 5th birthday. I just loved doing that little project. I had fun doing it all over again for my daughter, too. I used a flower from Mother's Day Bouquet, cut in graduated sizes, to form the bow on top of the box and repeated the step for the 'icing' on the cake candle. I can't for the life of me remember which cartridge the pillow box came from and that is the 2nd time I've done that to myself, with that cut. Looking for it on the Gypsy is tedious; it has an odd name. If I find it again, I am going to make a Gypsy file just for it and never, ever delete it again.
