Tutorial: Square Scallop Box for 3x6 Cards

box

I’m a day late, but as promised here’s the tutorial to make a square scallop box, which holds ten 3x6 cards and 10 coordinating envelopes.  To see the cards & envelopes, click HERE.  Enjoy!

1) Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 7-1/2 x 12 inches.  Score the short side at 4 & 6  inches.  Now score the long side at 2, 4, 8, and 10 inches.  Fold all the score lines inward.  This is how your cardstock will look.

3) Now fold the scored cardstock piece into a box.  The straight edge of the cardstock will be the top of the box  The back side of the box (shown as the front here) will just meet in the middle like French doors (not overlap).  Here are some photos taken during the folding process.

4) Apply sticky strip to both the front & back of the box.  Then attach 2 large scallop squares, die-cut with a Big Shot & the Stampin’ Up! Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die.  Make sure you decorate the squares prior to adhering them to the box.  Here’s a photo with the decorated square attached to the front of the box.box4

5) And finally, a photo of the box with both the front & back squares attached.
