I had to look up the measurements for envelopes, so you can make a card pack gift.
I did allow about a 16th of an inch of wiggle room. If you make please let me know if it all fits.
I'm also doing a metric version on Thursday.
For this lidded box you need two pieces of paper.
Lid: 10"1/4 wide and 6" tall
Bottom: 11"1/4 wide and 10" tall.
See flowers on pattern for direction of how to cut paper, if your pattern is directional.
For the bottom score on the 11"1/4 (long side) side at: 2"and 8" and on the short side at: 4"5/8 and 6"5/8
For the lid score on the long side at: 2"and 8"1/4 and on the short side at 2"and 4"
Burnish all your scoreline and notch as indicated.
To glue it with a flush inside please see video, it's hard to explain.
You can also add flowers and other embellishments, I just added ribbon.
Again it's all up to your taste and imagination, the video is there for the box, not how to embellish it.
I really appreciate all the work you do to make these videos for us. I know I will be making this box many times because I do give lots of cards as gifts. My neighbor would be very disappointed if she didn't get a gift of cards for her birthday and Christmas! I usually just tie a ribbon around them to give her, but this will be much nicer. Thank you.
