This is a variation on the 2-5-7-10 box. I had some scraps of this gorgeous KC & Co. mum paper and wanted to make a little treat box for a 97 yo woman I am visiting today.
I scored and cut the treat box (see tutorial in resources section), then glued my scraps of paper on the front and back, leaving the sides the coordinating solid color. Then I used my edge punch to punch the bottom of the flap, and assembled the box. I attached 1/2 of a velcro dot on the underside of the flap to hold it closed, and attached the butterfly with a glue dot.
I had already stamped and bleached the butterfly on the same color cardstock I used for the box, heat embossed it, and used bleach to remove some of the color. Then I painted the whole butterflywith PearlEx and cut it out.
This will hold some delicious Ghiradelli chocolate squares. I hope she likes it. Thanks for looking.

Wow Judy, I love how you used the gorgeous DP and only added the punched edge and butterfly for embellishment. Your butterfly is absolutely Stunning! I can just imagine how even more beautiful it is IRL. Your friend will love her very thoughtful gift :-) TFS
