Today I wanted to try another project from the "Holiday Project Showcase" on SplitCoast. I needed a box to put a gift in, so I made one of the Origami boxes (click here for the tutorial). 
I started with a 12" x 12" piece of Brocade Background Designer Series Paper for the top of my box. For the bottom of my box I used an 11 1/2" square piece of Old Olive card stock. I wanted to do something unique on the top of the box, so I used the "Dahlia Fold" to make a flower.
Using another piece of Brocade Background DSP, I punched out 8 circles (using my 1 3/8" circle punch) and folded them like this. Since my paper is double-sided, I folded four of them with the first pattern on top and the other four with the second pattern on top. I cut out a 2 7/8" circle of Old Olive card stock with my Coluzzle and glued all my Dahlia petals to it. I finished off the center with a Rhinestone Brad. I love the way it turned out.
