These make wonderful little gifts, you can add photos, gift cards or just decorate as I did.

This stands up so can be displayed perfectly.

My pretty Butterfly die is from Xcut by Docrafts, its an older die but I’ve found someone selling them for 1 Pound!!

Check out my full tutorial below to see how I made it.

This is a really versatile gift as you can make it as big as you want and the concertina part you can extend further also.

Give it a go, its a fun one.

Happy Crafting
