Simple Box

Here's a great way to present hand-made cards as a gift:
 A simple card-stock box decorated with Designer Series Paper makes the perfect card-carrier for a special gift.
Measure your card; using the dimensions, add 2 1/2" to the length and width measurements.  Score at 1" on all sides.  Repeat for the lid, but score at 15/16" on all sides.
Cut from the edge to the score line on the ends of your box; this will create flaps on the four corners.  Fold all score lines and use Tombow adhesive or Sticky Strip on the flaps to make the box.  Decorate with Designer Series Paper.
I used the Designer Rosettes Bigz Die to make a lolly (rosette); an Antique Brad was hot-glued in the center, and a banner was added.

This box will hold 4 cards/envelopes.

Let's get creating!
