Die cut 4 box dies from the HCD1-7163 A Gift of Love Box set out of the Wisteria cardstock, trim the top off and the top tag and assemble three sides together. Cut a piece of dry oasis to fit the box and insert in the box before completing assembling the box. Glue the oasis to the base of the box as you are gluing the base of the box.
