Love You

Made this box and filled it with cards for my sister's birthday today
(hope she's too busy to look at my blog today)
Bottom measurements cut a piece of strong card stock
I use PTI kraft 7 1/2 by 8 3/4 score all sides at 1 1/2 inch
top 6 1/8 by 7 3/8 score all sides at  3/4 inches
You will need a strong adhesive to hold the box together
I used score tape
cut one score line on each side to the center of the box to form the sides
Sarah from 
did an awesome video on this check it out if you get stuck.
I filled the box with some cards 
was able to get 7 cards in the box.

Have a great day everyone.

this is one of two I am thinking of making
will need 3 dozen or so
this one is fairly easy

Elmhurst Hallow
like this one because it actually can stand up
