Hello friends and happy Trash to Treasure Transformation Tuesday! Woohoo! I can’t wait to show you what I did with this old thing.

Butterfly Card Box – Artsy Chicks Rule®

It’s part of my most recent haul…

a collection of before thrifted items

Looks like I have 4 more to go!

Take a look at the inside of this box…

Okay, so I called this a “card box” because it just seemed like the perfect thing to use it for. Note cards, etc.
But do any of you know what the purpose of this box really is? It’s so odd.

Let me know in the comments if you know!

I began by cleaning it up with some TSP alternative.

Then I applied one coat of Ultra Grip.

Once that was dry overnight, I applied 2 coats of Victorian Lace.

I went into my decor transfers and found these scraps left over from other projects.

butterfly and French decor transfers

Most, if not all, of them, came from this transfer.

MATERIALS LIST

I applied them in several different areas with the big, beautiful butterfly on top. Love it!

As you’ll see further down, I just mixed and matched and made it work. 🙂

For the inside, I decided to paint it this color, Heirloom.

And got this pretty scrapbook paper out of this stash to use for the bottom of the card box.

I applied a coat of Decoupage & Transfer Gel to the bottom and attached the pretty paper. (I used this cutter to get the exact size easily)

The rest of the transfers went inside here…

Isn’t that paper just perfect??

And outside here…

I adore how this one turned out!

I applied one coat of Matte Topcoat to seal the transfers.

Butterfly lovers unite. 🙂

There’s even a sweet pink one on the paper below.

That white is so crisp and the butterfly just stands out so beautifully.

Isn’t it crazy how different it looks now??

So fun!
