MAKE A BUTTERFLY TREAT BOX featuring the BUTTERFLY KISSES SUITE

 

Happy Fourth Stampers.  I'm writing this blog post on the morning of the fourth in total disbelief that it's July already.  Wow.  Where did June go?  Today's project again uses the BUTTERFLY KISSES SUITE with all its amazing products.  For the box, I used the BEST BUTTERFLY BUNDLE and BEST BUTTERFLY DSP.

To create the box, first cut a piece of coordinating card stock measuring 4-1/2in by 10-1/2in.  On the LONG SIDE score at 2-1/2in, 3-1/2in, 6-1/2in and 7-1/2in.  On the SHORT SIDE, score at 1in and 3-1/2in.  After folding on the score lines and cutting away the excess card stock, the box should look like the picture below.

Next, cut the DSP panels at 2-3/8in by 2-7/8in (2 panels) and 2-3/8in by 7/8in.  To create the stitched border on the box flap, place the triangular border die from the BASIC BORDERS DIES on the edge of the flap and run it through the CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE.  Place the DSP for the flap on the flap using POST-IT TAPE to cut the DSP as well.  Assemble the box by putting TOMBOW LIQUID ADHESIVE on the small tabs.

To include magnets, adhere one to the front panel of the box, using a GLUE DOT, just under the bottom edge of the flap.  Add the DSP to the front and back panel of the box with TOMBOW.  Put the flap down on the box front.  Add another magnet with a GLUE DOT where the two magnets come together.  Finally, adhere the flap DSP over the magnet.  These magnets are available on AMAZON at the link below.

For the embellishments on the front, stamp the upper striped wings, the lower triangle wings and the mini striped wings using PARAKEET PARTY INK. Stamp the large butterfly body using MEMENTO BLACK INK Cut out all images using the coordinating die cuts.  Glue the butterfly body parts together using TOMBOW and place it on the box flap using DIMENSIONALS.  Stamp the HEY sentiment using PARAKEET PARTY INK on BASIC WHITE card stock and punch out using a 1/2in CIRCLE PUNCH.  Adhere to the bottom right of the box using DIMENSIONALS.
