The Happy Hamper Gift Box die set makes the most beautifully shaped gift box that I've seen in a while! Even the name made me smile :) I thought I just had to make this in bright, cheerful colours and top it off with a butterfly.
This die set is one part of a two set launch and you can see my video of the other set here -

Die set
There are instructions inside the packet.
1. Die cut 2 of the outer dies and 2 strap dies from ivory card.
2. Glue the bases together.
3. Glue the straps onto the tabs on the bases.
4. Using the outer dies and inner detail dies shown, make the decorative panels for the front bac and sides. You will need 2 of each.
5. Glue the panels in place.
6. Cut out the lid shape from ivory card and use the 2 dies shown to make the orange panel. When cutting the orange panel, line up the little notches on the outer and inner dies.
7. Glue the orange die cut onto the lid.
9. Add glue on the tab shown and adhere to the inside of the side panel.
10. Fold the little tabs through the slits at the front and back.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR THE HANDLES
If you are not adding a handle you can follow the next 3 steps
A. Thread the long tab up through the slit on the lid.
B. Fold the tab backwards.
To add the ribbon handle -
A. Die cut 2 ivory tabs with slits and glue the slit parts of both onto the corresponding slit on the lid.
B. Thread ribbon through the slits. Tie in and know and bow.
11. Cut out 3 butterflies from the paper pack.
12. Die cut the fancy shaped oval from ivory card. On one of the butterflies, snip in between the wings at the bottom.
13. Glue the oval onto the lid. Fold back the butterfly's wings and glue the body to the oval.
14. Die cut 2 orange "bead" dies.
15. Spread glue along the length of the die cut leaving a little gap at the top (wide end)
16. Use a skewer or knitting needle to roll up the bead. It is important to keep the paper central as you roll to ensure the bead is symmetrical.
