Cut one piece of Tender paper to fit the inside "floor" of the box, plus each of the four "walls" of the box, scoring where the walls meet the floor. Cut the corners as needed to fit and glue the paper inside.)

3. Make side-fold card from Loved paper; distress edges of chipboard flowers and card. Adhere flowers to card and embellish with felt flower, chipboard buttons and ribbon.
