BUTTERFLY FOLIO GIFT BOX

 

This is so much more than an elegant looking folio!  It measures  4 1/2'' x  7'' x  2 1'8''.  Original measurement are from Sherry at The Posh Paper Lady.  I added my take on it by using a large number of butterflies and tiny flowers.  Floral arrangement on the front is made up of  three layers of a floral die.

                     This is the side of folio. I used pop-ups to attach the butterflies and flowers.

Inside hidden behind a panel is a secret gift box. 

                                 This is the inside.  Hidden surprise box is behind sentiment.
