instructions

1. Confetti Box - 1 Download a digital box template from Silhouette or draw your own, then punch a heart aperture in, before cutting the box out and fixing it together. Cut out leaves printed from a digital download and punch some gold hearts.
   
   2 Stack gold punched hearts and secure them in pairs, sandwiching embroidery thread between them. Wrap lace around the box and a strip of thin sheer ribbon. Tie both in knots. Stack leaves and a heart on top of each other to create a cluster of embellishments in one corner.

2. Pretty Corsage - 1 Die-cut several layers of white flowers. Curl the edges around a pencil to give them a realistic shape. Stack layers of the flowers onto each other to create a full bloom, securing with PVA.
   
   2 Add a circle of gold paper into the centre of the piece, along with a metal button. Punch some mint and peach hearts and stick them onto the flower.
   
   3 Cut out leaf shapes, using a digital download, from mint and peach card, then secure them randomly to the underneath of the flower. Adhere a long length of lace to the bottom, then add a large circle of card to help keep the lace and leaves firmly attached to the corsage.

3. Cupcake Toppers - 1 Type and print sentiments on a PC, or use a stamp of your choice. Cut around the sentiment, then trim gold card to match.
   
   2 Secure these pieces together, sandwiching a toothpick between and slightly offsetting the gold piece to create a shadow effect. Punch little hearts from mint and peach card, then add them to the toppers.
