Here is what we're making on Thursday night, July 7th, at our Etsy, Yelp!, CAFAM Craft Night. Join us if you can. We'd love to see you there. Just in case you can't make it to LA, here are the instructions and you can make your own.
1 Empty card box with clear top
WILDCAT WHOLESALE supplied us with boxes. An AMAZING resource BTW
Ribbon or elastic band to hold it together
3 twigs the length of the box
Elmer's glue
Hot glue
Scissors
Rubber stamps of butterflies *FISKARS SUPPLIED US WITH EVERYTHING!
Book pages
Small piece of paper for your greeting
STEP 1. Glue your book page to the inside of the card box. Paint on the glue with the brush for an even look and add a few drops of water to the glue so it spreads easily.
STEP 2. Stamp the book page with a butterfly or dragonfly.
STEP 3. Using the hot glue gun, glue in the twigs.
STEP 4. Cut out the butterflies and bend them in the center so they have dimension.
STEP 5. Distress the edges of your greeting paper on both sides on the stamp pad.
STEP 6. Stamp or write your greeting.
STEP 7. Curl the edges of your greeting sheet and then glue in your greeting and butterflies.
STEP 8. Cut leaves with more book pages and sprinkle them inside of your box.
STEP 9. Seal your box, rub it on your head to create static, and close with the metallic elastic band.
