Oh, sweet blog friends, if I had it to do all over again, this round box would be a square box. Why would I wish such a thing? Well, what I thought would be easy was much easier said than done. I thought perhaps I would put up a tutorial for the box, but by the time I made it twice, I wondered if perhaps I should watch a tutorial, rather than make one! Alas, I think I have a little bit of perfecting to do before I put this out again. At any rate, I wanted to make a flower using the new JustRite (made by Spellbinders) Nested Medallion Labels die with the matching set called Starburst Medallions. I envisioned a box to set it on but of course spent at least an hour looking for the right paper. Then it hit me, why not alter my design paper by over stamping with the new released Ticking Stripe Background Stamp from JustRite Stampers. Well, it gave me just the amount of pattern contrast I was looking for and as a bonus, it matches the original pattern paper (wink).
For the flower I cut and embossed the #5, #4 and #2 dies from the Nested Medallion Labels die and I used the same stamp from Starburst Medallion Labels for each layer. The flower is backed by a figure eight loops bow made on The Peg Bow Maker with 5 wraps on the 4 inch width setting. For the rest of the embellishment I added Spellbinders™ Foliage die for those sweet small leaves. The box is made using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #7 (this defines the shape of the box) and Spellbinders™ Grand Circles.
From double paper arranged on the fold, I stamped another medallion and cut out the center star for a tag. I hung it from the bottom of the flower using pink linen thread.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Starburst Medallions, Ticking Stripe Background Stamp Paper: Prima Romantique, Neenah Classic Crest Cream – 80 lb Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink Accessories: Nested Medallion Labels, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders™ Grand Circles, Spellbinders™ Foliage, Seam Binding, Recollections Pearls |
I had so many left over medallions, that I stamped while working out the logistics of the flower. So, rather than toss them . . . I folded over and popped up one layer for an extremely simple enclosure card….

I’ll try to get a tutorial up in the near future, if you’re curious about the flower. Have a fabulous day and I’ll see you tomorrow!!
Wow! The box and the flower are beautiful. What a work of art. I am glad you kept trying to get the box right, because you did! Thank you for sharing with us.
LOVE that flower and the leaves you added. Fabulous project!!
Your work is just amazing! I’d love a tutorial!
That is just beautiful!! Gorgeous!!
WOW – Absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous and creative idea!
Stunning! I am curious about how you did the box now more than ever, love the just right stamp and how you did the flower, learning so much this new year how to “look outside the box” with so many dies.
Have a Wonderful week Becca and everyone.
There is no Kathy jones page ? it comes back to here, anyone having this problem?
I am still laughing Becca, about you needing the tutorial :). This is gorgeous none the less, and those flowers are stunning.
Gorgeous box, the stamping goes great with your paper and great shape to the medallion, very pretty top embellishment!
Absolutely stunning!
Becca, Wow! Oh, and IF we are curious about how you made the flower! LOL… of course we want to know how to make that gorgeous flower :D
Can’t wait til you get the bugs worked out and we can learn to make the box as well…
Hugs as always,
Beth P
P.S. Because of you I finally had the courage to apply for a design team spot…and I got it!!!!!!! Yippee :D
Oh Becca! This looks like a Victorian Hat Box!!!!!!! SIGH! GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Oh Becca I just love this box it is perfect. The colors are wonderful and I love the flower you have made for the top. Out of the park for you AGAIN!!
Gads, that flower on the top of your box is fabulous!! I love the ticking stamp you used, too. It’s all just beautiful, Becca! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Looks lovely, nice colours. Feels Victorian. Amazing dies . Have to go play, you put me in the mood.
BEAUTIFIL as always, now I have to order these stampa and dies, and tell the mailman to sneak it to me.
This flower is absolutely gorgeous, on a fantastic box. No matter what you say – you just can’t put a foot (or should that be “hand”) wrong!!
Becca,
You are simply amazing. Your talent and creativity blow me away. Thank you for sharing.
It is very pretty Becca but for me it is to to difficult. If you think you need a tutorial…it appear for me just to big. I know what you can do .
Maybe tomorrow you will be proud because you complete this project and it is a success but I won’t ask you to do it again for a tutorial. Take time for
something you really like to do.
merci. Francine
So very gorgeous, Becca! Love ticking stripes, and with the roses this is stunning!
How on earth to you think up all of these fabulous ideas for using the new products???? That flower is absolutely brilliant!!! I love it. I didn’t think this stamp would be my first choice, but seeing it used in your talented hands changes everything. I absolutely love this project, round box and all!
This is just sooooo absolutely stunning Becca, and I just so love both your round box and the flower on top of it. You are so creative and sooo talented girl, and I´m totally in awe about this project here. You sure knows, how to make us get anything on our wishlist here ha ha ha. I soooo love, what you´ve done today.
OKay as soon as I saw your first creation with these dies and stamps I put them on my wish list. Now they have gone directly to the top. I am very interest in the making of the flower and look forward to your tutorial.

You are so creative! Lots of good ideas here (except for the round box, apparently). Really lovely, Becca.
Lovely, lovely!
Beautiful….
Just so sweet and elegant!!!
I would as the one receiving it be happy if it was any shape…round to me fits the flower better, and squared sets it apart..beautiful still the same…
Stunning! It was well worth the effort, Becca as we are so blessed by this creative, unique and beautiful project! Looking forward to seeing how you made the flower!
Many blessings to you!
Stunning! Words cannot describe what you do! WOW
Oh Dear Becca,
You did it again!! Amazing!! Can’t wait to see the tutatorial
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Just so beautiful! Okay – another set goes on the list!

Just one word can sum this one up, Becca. Fabulous! A magnificent creation.
I am always excited to see what kind of creation you will come up with next! This is BEAUTIFUL! Just wanted you to know that because of you I know have a new folder in my favorites – its called “wish list” and it is growing daily! LOL.
Thanks for sharing your amazing talent
God Bless
I am waiting for your tutorial on the flower, would love to try making some myself but need to see your tutorial first. Great job as usual.
Awesome! Beautiful!! Gorgeous!!!
Oh My Goddness this takes my breath away and leaves me speechless. What will you think of next. Only you would see a flower in that stamp/die set. This reminds me of a lovely old Victorian Hat Box. I am sure whom ever you give this to will treasure it for a lifetime.
Blessings Bernie
Hi Becca,
Wow this is so lovely, anyone would feel truly blessed to have a gift from a friend in a box like this. I know I would.
Hope you are good today
Regards Linda
This is wonderful!! Could I please beg for a tutorial for this…love, love, love it!!!! Hugs Debbi x
Oh yes, please! I am VERY curious about the flower! Thanks also for the brilliant reminder that we are allowed to stamp on patterned paper! Your Ticking Stripe addition to the floral paper makes for a pitch-perfect companion and just the right bit of contrast between the two.
Becca,
That is a beautiful. I can’t wait to see how you did the flower.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
Vicky
Becca, that is very beautiful! Thank you for sharing as always. You are amazing.
Amazing is what you are Becca, I do not know how you keep coming up with all these fantastic ideas.
Hugs………………Baukje
That box and the flower were so worth the struggle Becca – they are absolutely fabulous!!
Blessings
Maxine
ooouuhhh! i love the dimension of your flower! if you don’t want to do a tut on the box, how about one on the flower? awesome job!
Oh my sweet friend – how on earth do you come up with such amazing ideas??? Not only are the ideas so clever, but stunningly elegant as well!!! What I would give to sit with you in your craft space and watch you work – and maybe some of that creativity can rub off on me!!! :) {HUGS}
Fabulous (again) I hope there is a tutorial coming!
oh.my.word. I want to have just a LITTLE of your talent for just a day or two! Your creativity leaves me speechless (and that’s not an easy task!).
Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations. You continually inspire me.
Beautiful medallion and box gift set. The container remindsme of the containers that grandma had in her kitchen to hold tea bags and the like. Love how you have embellished the top of it. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Just amazing! You have such knowledge with how to best use the spellbinder dies! Would love a tutorial on how to make this splendid creation!!!
Yes, would love a tutorial on the flower! Thanks.
Wonderful box Becca, you never cease to amaze me, you are so talented, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that flower, you can beautify anything it seems and turn anything into a flower!!! THANKS FOR SHARING your creativity with the world.
Hugs
Donna
WOW!!! This is gorgeous! Love how you over-stamped to create the coordinating paper! And that flower is gorgeous, too! Your “problem” creations are waaaaaay better than my best creations! Beautiful work!
I am so curious about how your mind works when you look at a die, what questions do you ask yourself? What do you see? This is another amazing Beautiful Becca Bloom. Thank you for making us think – – not just out of the square – – you’ve kicked that out of touch :) and also for encouraging us to go back and look at our dies and stamps and other stuff and see it with REALLY fresh eyes – you are a marvel! Thanks again for your generous sharing.
Stunning, to me it looks absolutely perfect!
Oh, you are such a “bad” influence, (LOL), here I thought, I could possibly pass on Mediallion Spellbinder die, and the Starburst Mediallions but that is not to be. I absolutely love the flower and box you created, just gorgeous!!!!
Super flower and box project. Beautifully made.
Happy New Year to you Becca.
Hugs Maz
Absolutely Beautiful! You are so creative and think outside the shapes. You are the Yoda of using dies in different ways.
Ranger Distress Ink Victorian Velvet…
[…] sooooo absolutely stunning Becca, and I just so love both your round box and the […]…
OMGosh. . . .I want to be on the recieving end of your wonderful cards and gifts that you make!!! Your work is just stunning.
Thanks for sharing.
Becca, this is breath taking! Your talents are endless! Thank you so much for sharing!
I would like to see how you made that flower! It is gorgeous, as is all of your work. Thanks for inspiring me.
Very clever woman! I love your ticking stamped DP, what a great look. Very pretty flower and box. I was teaching somebody your figure 8 bow today. I said, I didn’t come up with it Becca did!

Becca that box is just lovely, those flowers are fantastic too
OK Becca, when i saw this set i hated it! i don’t like the die i really hate the stamp set and i wouldn’t take if you gave it to me! Then i click on your blog and see what you did with it and now i have to have it! you are amazing! I can’t wait to get home from work and see what you’ve done everyday! Thank you for sharing you great talent with me!
Gorgeous Becca!!! Love those flowers! I must be a pack rat, I save all my extra pieces and organize them in recipe card boxes. I am constantly going through them and surprisingly, I DO use them a lot! I’m a little frugal, I hate to throw things out. I can’t wait to see your tutorial! Blessings! Kathy
This is lovely! I can’t imagine you having problems with anything crafty. The box is ever so sweet and the the flower is precious. Beautifully done!
Becca……….just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog and ALL of your efforts. Your creations are always amazing !!!
Becca, you are a source of fresh ideas and real inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Becca, this box is just stunning!!! I truly love the flower you created
with the new Spellbinder die and stamp design. A beautiful piece of art!
TFS.
Maryellen :D
Absolutely fabulous! You’ve outdone yourself again! Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us. Another fab stamp set goes on the wish list! lol
WOW yet again! Another beautiful creation!! I love the box and IOlove the flower and how you have shaped the flower….I would probably have just put it on flat without even thinking of shaping it LOL. What an inspiration you are to us all.
LOL Eileen
Oh Goodness Becca ! I think ” how can she come up with anything prettier ” and then you do a creation like this ! Gorgeous !
Yet another masterpiece Becca. You are amazing!!! I love the idea of over stamping your patterned paper for contrasting. Seams harder and harder to find papers collections that include contrast like this. Look forward to a tutorial on both flower and box. This is such a beautiful combination.
Marcie
This is such a pretty project but I could tell from first glance it’s not for amateurs like me. Probably even a tutorial wouldn’t help me create anything so detailed and layered. It’s just gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Such a very lovely and attractive ensemble!!! I’m blown away.
What beautiful embellishing, the box is just gorgeous!
beautiful!
Sandra ltb
Becca, I haven’t had a chance to post things lately but had to take the time to say how incredibly beautiful this is, Your AMAZING!!!
Thank you sooo much for passing that on!!! It was a blessing to me too!! Love the verse and the card is gorgeous, just as all your work!! Bless you!
Gorgeous box Becca. What a fabulous idea using the stamps and dies for a flower. You always come up with such neat projects! :o)
That box (flower is just stunning!!! Really beautiful.
Beautiful Encouragement card-!
Beautiful flower .many thank’s for sharing this with everyone
