I simply added some gorgeous May Arts crocheted ribbon, a 3-D flower & brad, and a pretty little tag with just the right sentiment and I was done!
Oh wait...I was done after I packed it with caramel Hershey Kisses! YUM ♥ I made the pretty bloom by printing my digi paper on regular bond paper and using a sweet little flower cut file that you may just see again in the near future ;] I LOVE that I could program my Cricut to cut 10 flowers from my printed paper at just the right size, push one button and done! Versus cutting 10 squares from my page and using a die cut to cut through a select number of sheets a couple of times. I followed a tutorial Lauren created a while back to make the flower. You can view it HERE.
Similarly, I used a pretty label from my Cricut Storybook cartridge that resembles the Top Note die. The ultra cool thing about having a cut file or cartridge is that you can size the shape to your needs instead of making your images fit the shape! In this case, I use a small sentiment and heart from the MTME You've Got Mail stamp set and sized my label down to fit it on. I also made an accent layer with black cs...just cut it a smidge larger. PERFECT for my project! I could go on all day about the benefits of a cut file over a die cut. Don't get me wrong I still love and use dies that I own, but the benefits of cut files seriously outweigh the benefits of dies. AND they're WAY cheaper! Again, check out Lauren's awesome comparison on her blog to really grasp what I'm talking about.

Love your use of the romantic paper and the crochet ribbon and flower! Isn't awesome to mix paper with other craft mediums?!?! Thanks for sharing!
Your use of the poem paper is really nice. I love how simple and clean you project is too!
This is absolutely stunning. I love the simple elegance of it. And I'm so in love with the SCAL software - I bought it before I got my cricut. Now I have both and because I have SU's MDS program, I can also use the SVG file of the Top Note die and cut it in multi sizes.
I love your use of the poem paper! So simple, crisp and clean! I love the black and pink.
My favorite part is the flower on top. Great addition!
Love that lace and the fluffy flower! Great treat box :D

I'm not sure what to put for my favorite part. It is so simple to put together however it is so romantic and elegant! I love the paper and the lace but I guess my favorite is the flower and I can't wait to try it! Just beautiful!
I love your version of the "welcome home template". It is definately girly and spring-like. I am also longing for spring. It is cold in upstate New York.
Gorgeous project. Love the soft pink you used.
This is simply elegant. I love your flower on top of the package. Just a perfect accent detail that ties it all together. My second favorite is your yellow mouse themed mail box. It is so cheery! Have a happy day.

Love the lattice work and roof on your house. And i really like the paper you chose for your mail box: snail mail. cute.
Of you recent posts, I just love the house.
The colors and patterns are great, but is the details that count, isn't it?
So I have to tell you, that my favorite thing you added was the bird looking over the edge of the roof. So adorable!
I love the house you made the other day - the digital paper was a perfect addition.
I would have to say, although I love all your projects, the mailbox and the houses, I love this little box with the little flower. One can never go wrong with pink and chocolate and printed paper. So elegant looking. thanks so much for sharing.
I love your box... it looks so vintage...
