Matchbox Birthday

Welcome to my Butterfly Bouquet spotlight week – this week will feature 7 video tutorials posted back to back to spotlight this early release collection from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. The collection is made up of several components – Stamps, Dies, Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Specialty Paper.

Eek! I’m so excited to show you this project – it’s so so easy to make and is so cute! Today’s project features the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Butterfly Bouquet collection – this paper is an exclusive which will only be available during this promotion and it is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve teamed the paper up with the Treat Boxes from the Love you Always suite in the Jan to June Mini Catalogue. These are a really good size and so can be filled with plenty of treats to gift to someone as a thank you, a congratulations or even part of a birthday gift!

Using one of the leftover butterflies that I cut out for yesterday’s project, I wrapped the outer layer of the treat box with a piece of Designer Series Paper cut to fit. The paper instantly gives the box a lift and makes it feel special even without the extra decoration.

The second largest butterfly then makes its appearance on the front with a quick sentiment in Bermuda Bay to match the paper. I love how it looks when finished and I still have plenty of butterflies left for more projects!

Flutterby Hi

Teeny tiny projects are the best, they’re so cute and are really good for the craft supplies! This cute little book fold box was cased from Pootles, with some changes to the measurements and the design. It fits two mini Green & Blacks chocolates, one in each half of the holder.

Using leftover elements of my Wrapped in Christmas project kit, I made a contrasting Shaded Spruce & Real Red version. The ribbon is absolutely gorgeous and ties the best bows!

With the paper in the Project Kit, you could make approximately 80 of these as gifts. Or approximately 70 if you make the projects included both in the box and the video mini series!

I hope you enjoy this project!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
