A Matching Set of Butterfly Gifts

It is one of my good friends birthday this week, so I needed to make her a card, and something that would hold a gift voucher, so I had a play with my cuttlebug; craft robo and butterfly punch last night and ended up making these for her:

I really struggled to think of a card for her so ended up making one of my trusty embossed butterfly cards and cut the box on the Craft Robo, and to decorate it I embossed some white squares with the same 'Happy Birthday' folder used on the card, stuck them to each face of the box and added a piece of red ribbon around them middle with a punched butterfly on 4 sides and the top.

I've got a few (boxes!) of ES mints left over from Christmas so made up 8 and topped them with a red scalloped circle; white glitter card plain circles, and a punched butterfly on each mint.

As as set I am really pleased with the results, and it didn't take me that long to make.

I'd like to enter these into the following Challenges:

Paper Pretties Challenge - Unique Fold/Non Traditional Fold [gift box]
The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Happy Birthday
