DOME TOPPED BOX with a BUTTERFLY USING the LADYBUG BUILDER PUNCH - Stampin' Up!

Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Dome Topped box that measures  4  x  3  x  1 1/2".  I used the Ladybug Builder Punch to make a Butterfly. (A big thank you to my husband who figured it out!). I also used Hello Ladybug stamp set, Stylish Shapes dies, Layering Circle dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and Tahitian Tide Cardstock.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Tahitian Tide Cardstock sized

9 1/2  x  6 1/2".

I scored the  9 1/2" side at:

1 1/2,  4 1/2,  6  and  9".

I scored the  6 1/2" side at:

1 1/2  and  4 1/2".

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring, cutting and rounding the corners of the top flaps.

I rounded the top flaps of both sides with my Bone Folder.

Overlapping the flaps by about 3/4" I held them together and punched a hole, through both flaps at once, on each side.

I ran Glittered Organdy Ribbon through the holes and tied a bow at the top.

I attached 4 pieces of Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper to the box.

(2)  2 3/4  x  2 3/4"  for the front and back.

(2)  1 1/4  x  2 3/4"  for the sides.

I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.

I cut a 2 1/4" scalloped circle from Parakeet Party Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.

I cut a 2 1/8" stitched circle from Tea Boutique DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies.

I glued them together with Liquid Glue.

I cut 2 sets of Wings from Tahitian Tide Polka Dotted paper from Tea Boutique DSP with the Ladybug Builder Punch.

I cut a body for the Butterfly from Basic Black Cardstock by first cutting the Ladybug Body out and them cutting one of the sides with the side of the punch.

I put a Mini Dimensinal on the middle of each part of the wing and a little Liquid Glue on the inside edges and attached them to the Yellow DSP circle.

I attached the body over the gap in the middle with Liquid Glue.

I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Dimensionals.

I cut a label from Parakeet Party Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes dies.

I stamped the sentiment, from Hello Ladybug stamp set, onto the label with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I added some Wink of Stella Glitter to the Butterfly's Body.

For the final touch I added Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the box.

One on either side of the sentiment, one on the Butterfly's right wing and two on the top of the box.
