Tea Light box with Fun Flowers Die

 1.  Score the 5x6 box cover at 5/8", 2 1/4", 2 7/8", & 4 1/2". Your score lines should be 6" long.
 2.  Score the 3 3/4 x 8 box.  The long score lines are scored at 1/2, 1 1/8, 2 5/8, 3 1/4".  The short lines are scored at 1/2, 1 1/8, 7 1/8, 7 3/4".

 3.  Cut out the corners as shown to make the flaps.  Add sticky strip according to picture below.
 4.  Fold over flaps to create box.
 5.  Adhere sticky strip to one end (widest end) and wrap the lid around the box.  Peel back off sticky strip and press.  Stamp Mixed Flowers stamp with Wisteria Wonder on a 1 1/2 x 5 1/2" strip; mount on lid.

 6.  Sponge all three flowers and two centers with Wisteria Wonder.  Curl edges with a bone folder and then stack flowers with adhesive.  Stack centers and adhere with an In Color brad.  Adhere centers to flowers with a dimensional. 

 7.  Stamp flowers on tissue paper and then lightly adhere corners (not flowers) to scrap paper.  Punch out the flowers with a circle punch.  Punch a small hole in the center for the wick of the tea light.  You MUST punch with the scrap paper behind the tissue paper or it won't work.
 8.  Insert the wick through the small hole and ensure that the wick is standing up so it won't melt onto the candle.  Heat the candle until the tissue paper is "hidden" under the wax and the wax looks wet.
