I was inspired to create this box from our Stampin' Success Magazine that we Demos get every other month and I also had to show you a SNEAK PEEK of the Creped Filter paper #129393 which will be available January 4, 2013

I used theFloral Frames Framelits Dies to create the flower out of the Creped Filter Paper. The box measures 2" X 3-3/4" tall with the lid. I also added some Red Glimmer Paper along with some Twine. You can watch a tutorial on this box for all the measurements
