Easy Box Card

Design idea from Dawn Olchefske (dostamping.typepad.com), posted November 8, 2012.

 

·      For the box, use a 8 ½ x 10 ¼ piece of card stock.  Score the long (10 ¼) side at 2 1/8,       3 5/8, 6 5/8, and 8 1/8.

·      Turn and score the short (8 ½) side at 1 ½ and 7.

·      Score diagonals from the center of the 10 ¼ side to the score line below it.

·      Trim off the four corners.

o   Cut from the diagonal to the end, and then cut ONLY the first section (to the first score line).

·      Add Designer Paper to both of the outside panels (each piece will be 1 7/8 x 5 ¼).

·      Stamp and add card stock to the inside (2 ¾ x 5 ¼).

·      Add Tear and Tape to the four small flaps.  Don’t remove the backing yet!

·      Fold top and bottom flaps in, and then on diagonals.

·      Fold other flaps to make a gate fold.

·      Attach flaps (with the Tear and Tape) to the sides of what will become the box.

·      Add ribbon with tag OR belly band to hold the box together.

 

 

Belly Band

·      Cut card stock 1 x 8 ¾.  Score at 2 1/8 and 2 ¼.  Wrap around card.  Add ribbon and stamped tag (My Basic White is 2 x 2).  I used Tear and Tape to attach the tag to the belly band.
