Butterfly Milk Carton Favor Box

Good morning friends!  Birgit here with you today with a summer project for you, using some fabulous  dies found in our store.
 

I started by cutting the Memory Box Buttermilk Carton out of a pretty sky blue Bazzill card stock.  I added some fun little lattice windows using two of the die elements from Sue Wilson Designs Australian Background Die.  I LOVE THIS DIE as the possibilities for cutting backgrounds is endless!

I then adhered the lattice panels on three sides of the milk carton and added a 1" punched circle on the fourth side and assembled the carton.  

For the roof, I cut a Kraft card stock rectangle in the size I needed using my cutter and scored and folded it in the center.  I then cut several strips of scalloped borders and cut the width to fit the roof.

I then layered them onto both sides of the roof and added a little distress ink to add some depth.  


I then did some ink blending using Tim Holtz Distress Inks onto a piece of white card stock and cut the Elizabeth Craft Designs Small Butterfly from the card stock and put him together.

I decorated the front of the milk carton with a Spellbinders Corner Sprig, which is no longer available but there's some really great similar dies found HEREHERE and HERE,  some Prima flowers and the butterfly.




I used one of the Pinpoint Main Street Tags from Poppy Stamps to add a little sentiment to and attached it to the top of the birdhouse favor with some ribbon and twine.




On each of the sides with lattice, I added little Cheery Lynn Designs Nested Flower Pots that I rubbed with distress ink and added the small Spellbinders sprig and some flowers from Cheery Lynn Designs Baby's Breath.  

Here's a list of products I used that you can find at Dies R Us:
