3 x 3 Embossed Box

I was asked how to make different types of boxes. Well usually I make all my boxes with the Envelope Punch board, however I wanted a challenge, so set about to make a box to hold our 3x3 envelopes and also another style to hold our Note Cards and envelopes.

This box is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and can be decorated with layers of card and DSP or possibly a belly band decoration, or embossed as in this one. 

Many different decorative ideas. Use Christmas DSP and make them into Christmas card boxes, the measurements for this box accommodates 4 cards and our 3"x3" envelopes. 

Start with a 9^”x5^3/4” piece of card.

On the long side score 3^1/4”, 4^1/4”, 7^1/2”, 8^1/2”

Turn clockwise to short side and score 1^”, 4^1/4”, 5^1/4 

With the 1^” score line on the bottom and the ^1/2” score line on the right. Cut up each score to the first score line. When you get to the ^1/2” score line, cut up to form a V  

Turn and working from the right on the long side. Cut up to the second score line, this forms the box closure. Cut along the rest of the ^1/2” score line up to the ^1/2” score line, cut this up to form a V. You will have formed a tab. Cut up each of the remaining score lines. 

Fold on all the score lines, to make a crisp edge and assemble box by adhering the tab to the other edge. With this size you may be able to emboss, before assembling, however any bigger and embossing would not be possible. You will need to decorate another way.
