Card Box Cutting Diagram

For the card box cover, start with a piece of cardstock 6″ x 10 1/4″. Score this at 4 1/2″ and 5 5/8″.

To make the box, cut a piece of cardstock 4″ x 11″. Score this at 2 1/4″, 3 1/4″, 7 3/4″ and 8 3/4″. Turn and score the long side at 1″. Then cut up to the scoreline as you see in the photo above.

Crease and fold all the score lines. Assemble the box with the two pieces coming together in the back. Adhere to the inside back of the cover. Adhere a piece of designer paper to the front of this box.

Decorate the front of the cover (best to do this before adhering the box inside!). Tie a ribbon around to tie and close or make a belly band to match.
