Make a Spellbinder
Expandable Butterfly Box
First select the Spellbinder shapeabilities expandable butterfly
magic die set & any other expandable die along with the Heartfelt Creations
antiquity collection paper pad. Also some grey board (often used in parcels
or paper pads) or thick card to strengthen the box.
Take a pair of
scissors & cut from
the bottom edge up
to the 1st score line
on the bottom right
hand corner.
Now with the paper
still in the same
position cut from the
left hand side edge on
both of the 4" & 8"
score lines up to the
first score line.
Make a 2cm tab in the
bottom left hand corner &
cut the edges at a diagonal to
create the tab effect. Crease
all the lines downwards ready
for folding. The tab must be
made on this fold line.

This workshop shows how to make this useful butterfly box
using the expandable butterfly die in 3 different ways. The
box takes just one 12" sheet & a couple of scraps of paper
along with an A4 piece of card for the lid & mask.
Take a piece of 12" x 12" paper from the
Heartfelt Creations antiquity collection paper
pad & score at 4", 8" & 12" if the paper is not
12" exactly (trim away the excess) & then turn
the paper & repeat the same measurements.
This will give you nine equal 4" squares.
Don`t cut anything along the top edge
& just move down to the first 4" score
line on the top right hand corner & cut
to the first score line. The cutting is
done in this fashion to make sure the
box gets lined with the paper & it will
save you paper later on.
Here is a close up of the butterfly
made using the die & the box lid has
a micro bead background for a
delicate different feel to the project.
Fold the flaps so that each side has a double layer &
there will be just one panel with just one panel but
that will be covered later on. Don`t stick anything at
this stage it`s just to show you the shape.
Take a pen or pencil & mark a cross on the inner
2nd piece of paper. Leave the single square free
of any crosses BEST SEE THE TEMPLATE AT THE
BOTTOM FOR EASY OPTION as the x`s need to be in
the correct place.
Cut four 3~7/8" squares in the grey card.
Attach one to the reverse side which will
be the middle top edge square if the
paper is in the original place. See
template at the end for the X
The key is to have the grey board
sandwiched between the paper.One
panel will be left to cover later. Now
add some dries clear glue to make
sure the edges are stuck down.
First cut 0.5cm down each side & along the bottom
edge to create a solid border. Then cut & leave a
1.5cm border across the top edge of the card. Now go
in & cut away the uncut lines of the die cut piece.
To build the box 1st glue the tab on the reverse of
the single paper square so it starts the box off. Then
making sure the grey board on the next 2 sides are
stuck to the back of the paper & the final flap will be
stuck in front of the grey board.
Now to cut the lid for the
box. Cut & emboss 2
separate panels of the
butterfly expandable die.
Once the piece of light brown card has been
cut the edges will need to be cut as this die
works as an expandable die but we just
need one single shape for this project.
Continue & glue the
other 3 squares in place
using either the Cosmic
Shimmer glue or double
sided tape.
Use your thumb to burnish
the paper together over the
side edge & this will mould
the sides nicely.
Once completed all the intricate die pieces
will fall out & you`ll be left with a nice crisp
panel ready to make into the lid.
Score a line to create the tab which you then just cut
the edges at a diagonal to make the tab effect.
This is how the flap will look of the back of the box. Later on this will be covered in
matching paper to hide the piece.
Also cut a 2nd panel to use as a
mask for the texture paste later.
To make the lid lay the panel onto the box with the
top end laid right on the edge of the back of the box.
Then score along this point making sure you don`t
crease over this hanging piece of the flower (shown
at the tip of the embossing tool). As the box is a set
size this panel piece should be in the same place.
The 2nd score line you can mark with pencil or
an embossing tool where the panel falls on the
other front end of the box.
When creased this will create
the front flap of the lid.
Now cut a piece of double sided adhesive
with a white backing so it fits within the
border of the butterfly panel. Don`t
include the tab area in this part.
Keep the other side of the backing
on the film on so it doesn`t stick to
anything ( this will stay like this and
create the inside of the lid.)
Take a small off cut of paper and cover
the top of the tab area on the lid. This
will camouflage it later on.
Cut a mm off a 4 inch square panel of
paper. Glue the panel over the only
piece of grey board left blank.
Part 2 of the workshop will continue next
week so check back as it`s a useful box to
make & is something a bit different.
Remove the backing of the film & stick
it on the reverse side of the butterfly
panel. MAKE SURE the panel is over a
non stick mat & not a piece of paper !!!
Select either micro beads or distress dry
glitter ~ clear rock candy.
With the panel in a box tip the
beads over the sticky panel.
Press the micro beads into the film to make
sure they all cover the sticky area. Alternatively
use the rock candy glitter although the beads
give a lovely weight to the lid.

cross markings
