Card Gift Box and a Video

I have a really cute gift box for you to make today. A similar project was shown to me by a friend, and I worked up some measurements to create a new one. This is a perfect box for gifting your handmade cards, and it's also useful to store your cards by type (masculine, holiday, etc) or greeting (happy birthday, thank you).

Here's a picture of two of the boxes I have recently completed; each will hold about 8 cards and envelopes.

Want to learn how to make one? I've filmed a video for you, but please note that this is the first time I have played with iMovie, and it's a bit rough. However all the directions are there, and I will include measurements below.

Cardstock measuring 8-1/2" x 9-1/2"; score on the 9-1/2" side at 1-1/4", 2-1/2", 7" and 8-1/4"
Rotate and score at 1-1/4" and 7-1/4"
