Vintage Butterfly Photo Box Tutorial








I had made one of these photo boxes for a friend
recently and she had a friend who saw it
and of course requested one.
The first one was filled with photos of someone
they had lost but you could make them themed
for any occasion....
anniversary, new baby, new house, graduation etc.

So I thought I would made a video while doing the second one.

You can watch it here.



Measurements needed to follow along
Black card - 2 pieces - 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Score 1 1/4" all sides
Slide out slightly for lid scores (see video)
Paper - 2 by 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
4 by 1" x 2 3/4"

I have used Basic black card,

I would like to enter these into
1. mini album 2. encouragement 3. 3D embellishment

My diary is filling up fast with baby sitting duties
with the school holidays nearing!
Think I should put my fees up 😂
but it will be fun to get to spend some times
with my Grandsons.
