Inspired by

 Inspired by Sam Calcott from the UK here is my version made with an 8-1/2 x 11” cardstock 

My live video is available on my Facebook.com/creativemix12 although I do have some problems see how I work through it and avoid my mistakes.

Here are all the boxes even though I had some problems during my live broadcast it still worked out. Here are the measurements 

Using an 8.5” x11” card-stock score on the 11” side at 1”*3.25”*5.5”*7.75”*10”

On the 8.5” side score at 2”*6.5”

Fold on the score lines and cut as shown. Make sure to cut evenly and wedge slightly on the folds.

Fold and glue back to center first.

Then front to center overlapping the 1” overhang to the insides 

The insert is 8” x4”

Scored on the 8”side at 2” from either end then on the 4” side at 2”

Cut only to the first score line from the short ends

Glue edges and cut across

Attach to top of box making sure to center it.

Measure and cut mats and apply to the box the way you prefer. 4-3/8ths x 2-1/8ths

2-1/8ths x 3-14/16ths for the inside piece

Sides 2-1/8ths x 2-1/8th for the sides

Are you a mystery buff? Join me on Fridays 12noon (mountain time) Facebook page "Secret Creative Cards" FB group we are going to be creating cards and crafts. 

The idea is we all use our own items what we have available

 (you know if you need something I can help you just  go to my website creativemix.stampinup.net) 

You will get clues as we all create together but I will not be showing you what to do. You get to make your own decisions on each step. The end result will be awesome with so many different ideas.

 Everyone can post their final ideas and we all get to see how each of us interpreted the clues. Facebook.com/creativemix12

The PDF is available for a short time download and print it will be gone soon.

Inside the card I put a white card stock with one of the smaller butterflies.

Here you can clearly see the intricate die cut is attached at the center of the butterfly.

I used the left over pieces from the die cut (larger one) on the DSP and it is just under 1 inch. if you need exact it's roughly 3/4-1" 

Here I used the thank you sentiment from another stamp set called Peaceful Moments. The Butterfly Bouquet stamp set has no sentiments so choose your own. I think this one goes beautifully.
