Card Box Tutorial and Challenge

Today, I want to share a card box that I created for notecards.

Step 1.  Cut a piece of cardstock to 5 x 9.5.  On the 9.5" inch side, score at 3.5", 4", 7.5" and 8".  On the 5" side, score at .5" from either side.

 

Step 2: Fold and crease at all the scores.

 
Step 3:  Cut tabs.  You should cut the .5" section at each score mark, as shown. below, and the remove the .5" section on either side of the top 1.5"  This will become the top flap closure.

 

When folded up, your box should look like this.  I rounded the corners of my front flap:

 

Step 4:  Decorate your card box.  I chose to keep mine simple.

 

I used some of the papers to create some simple notecards to go along w/ this box.  The patters were just perfect for them.  The box will accomodate 3.75" x 3.5" notecards.

My challenge to you is to create your own notecard holder.  It doesn't have to be just like mine, show us your creative notecard holders/boxes :)
