Here's a better photo of the box. The lady bug is attached by using a dimensional. The word "bugs" is made by using the Sizzix SU exclusive Billboard die. I'm lovin' this alphabet die. The acetate: I found that around the house - it is attached to the Matchbox cover with adhesive inside.
Here are the "ingredients" to make this box. Missing is the Acetate in the photo. This photo shows the Large Dot Texturz Plate used for the cover.
How did I make the window for the Matchbox cover? The Scallop Square Punch is used by punching twice. Punch once and then align the scallops (see photo below) and punch again.
How is the handle made? Cut (1) piece CS 3/8" wide x 2-3/4" long. Score @1/2", 7/8", 1-7/8", 2-1/4". Be sure to position the handle and apply brads BEFORE completing the Matchbox. The inside Matchbox fold will cover the unsightly brad "legs"
Completed Handle should look like this:
Here is the lady bug: Punch (1) 1/2" Black Circle, (1) 1/4" Black Circle, (1) 1/2" Real Red Circle. Cut the Real Red Circle in half, make "dots" and make eyes using the White Gel Pen. Position on to front of Matchbox cover with a dimensional.
