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.
