Graduation Card In A Box

{ tams # 7186 }

Print Recipe

Template attached.

Step 1: Cut a card base measuring 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (half sheet of 8-1/2" x 11") piece of cardstock.

I used Smokey Slate Stampin' Up! cardstock.

Step 2: Using a score board, with the 8-1/2" side at the top, score at: 2", 4", 6", 8" . Refer to template.

Step 3: turn the cardstock with the short side at the top and with the 1/2" score mark at the bottom.

Step 4: Line up the score line in the paper trimmer.

Step 5: Only cut down to the score line at 2-1/2". You can see in the photo where your guide should be (at the 2-1/2" mark).

Step 6: Slid the paper over to cut the next 2 score lines in the same way as Step 5. REMEMBER to only cut down to the 2-1/2" score line. When your done, there should be 3 flaps.

Step 7: You will then cut a small strip away from the 1/2" score line and make a small diagonal cut on the 1/2" flap. Refer to photo and/or template.

Step 8: You will then want to fold form your box. Use some adhesive on the 1/2" flap and attach to the inside of the box.

Step 9: Then decorate as you want.

The measurements for the flaps are at the bottom of the attached template in Step 1.
