2. For Top: cut a 7"x 7" square from DS paper and score at 1 1/2" on all four sides.  Cut slit in one of each 4 sides.  Trace and cut the rounded edge of the 5-in-1 Template along each edge of the square to create rounded flaps.  Fold along score lines.  Also cut four semi-circles out of coordinating designer paper and fold in half to crease.  Glue the four loose semi-circles to each "corner" of the box lid.
3. Stamp square stamp with Choc Chip ink onto River Rock cs and emboss with clear EP. Attach 1/2 pearl with mini glue dot to center.  Attach to top center of box with dimensionals.
4. Measure ribbon, cut and attach with adhesive to top edge of box cover.  Take another piece of ribbon and fold accordian style to make bow and repeat on other side.  Attach with sticky strip to box on one side.  Pull thread around center of bow and knot.  Attach full pearl with glue dot in center. Punch tab punch from River Rock cs. Fold in half-stamp "for you". Punch hole and tie thread through.
