Butterfly Garden Gift Box - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my second inspiration post this month for the Couture Creations Blog.

I have created a Gift Box with the new releases 

Modern Essentials and Butterfly Garden Collection

from Couture Creations. 

I got the inspiration from Kirstens Blogg.

Step by step instructions:

1. Trim a piece of Fairy Wings Cardstock to 8¼" x 11" (20.4cm x 28.1cm). 

2. Score on the 7¾" side at 1½" and 6¼" (13.8cm and 15.8cm).

3. Turn your cardstock and score the 11" side at 1", 4½", 6" and 9½"  (12.5cm, 11.4cm, 15.2cm and 24.1cm).

4. Fold the score lines.

5. Cut away the outer panels from the 1" side as well as the 3½" wide panel. Cut the horizontal fold lines and vertical fold lines to create glue tabs for the box.

6. Round the edges of lid fold (1" x 4¾" piece).

7. Cut Butterfly Garden Pattern Paper twice to 4.6cm x 9.6cm (2 5/8" x 9 5/8")  and twice to 4.6cm x 12.4cm (2 5/8" x 5 3/8"). 

8. Flip box base over and decorate panels.

9. Glue tabs and adhere box together.

10. Die-cut Fairy Wings Cardstock with Modern Essentials Oval Frame Die.
