After making numerous cards with a butterfly theme, it became necessary to create packaging for a set of the butterfly cards. The Acetate Card Boxes in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog are perfect for packing the cards. Instead of putting the cards in just a clear acetate box, decorate the box to add extra flair. For consistency, I chose to use the butterfly theme for decorating the box. It’s an easy project and now the cards are neatly packaged to present as a gift or to sell at a craft fair. Best of all, the Butterfly Botanical Designer Series Paper and the Butterfly Elements are in the Sale-a-Bration brochure and each are FREE with qualifying purchases. Continue reading below for the steps to recreate this box to package your butterfly cards.
Decorating the Acetate Card Box
- Assemble the acetate card box.
- Use a 5-3/8″ x 5-5/8″ piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. On the 5-3/8″ side, score at 1/2″ and 4-7/8″. Add texture to the center area between the score lines using the Layering Leaves Dynamic Texture Embossing Folder. Fold score lines and insert the cardstock into the box.
- Cut a 2″ x 5-3/4″ strip of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP). Attach to the center of the acetate box using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
- Stamp the “Just for You” sentiment from the Meant to Be Stamp set in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto a 3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the large circle framelit dies from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Attach to the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish around the sentiment using the Butterfly Elements and adding a coordinating bow.
The Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack in the Sale-a-Bration brochure is currently sold out and will be available in early March while reorder supplies last. The 1/8″ Grapefruit Grove Grain Ribbon is a good substitute to use for making a coordinating bow.
Now when you want to package a set of your card creations, you can easily decorate an acrylic box to coordinate with your cards.
