Hello Ladybug Bumblebee Shadow Box

Today’s project is a Hello Ladybug Bumblebee Shadow Box featuring the Hello Ladybug Bundle and the Simply Marbleous and All Together Designer Series Papers!

I absolutely LOVE the versatility of the Ladybug Builder Punch! I designed this shadow box to hold a Lindt Bugs & Bees chocolate – which is just perfect for the Hello Ladybug Bundle! Here’s the inside of the shadow box:

And when you remove the chocolate, it reveals a hidden sentiment:

How stinkin’ cute is that?!?! In the Lindt Bugs & Bees chocolates I found at Target, there are both ladybugs and bumblebees! Here’s another angle of the shadow box:

This would be very easy to adapt for the ladybug chocolates by just changing the cardstock and Designer Series Papers to red!

I simplified the construction of this shadow box so that it would be much easier to cut & assemble, because you won’t be able to stop at just one of these! This box has a magnetic closure, so be sure to check out the video tutorial where I show you how to hide the magnets!

I purchased my magnets from Total Element. If you use coupon code ‘PAPERPIXIE‘, you’ll receive a 10% discount!

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

And here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

PLEASE NOTE: The black dot indicates where you want to add one of the magnets if you opt to do a magnetic closure.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

  2. I love your demonstrations, you make them so easy to follow. One tip I would like to share, having looked at your wonderful template, is the shadow box can be made without wasting the corners. If you score at 2-1/2” on all four sides first and cut out the corners, then go back and score the rest following your instructions, the added bonus it reduces the amount of cutting.

  4. I had the best time making this adorable little box. I added some ribbon around the box and tucked the ends in of of the seams, placed a tiny piece for a lift open on the cover. It turned out so cute I had to make a ladybug right away. What fun and as always your video was awesome. Thank you so much.
