Today I spent some time figuring how to make the box card fit into an A2 envelope. I did consult a few tutorials, but not any one of them addressed my particular desire.
I am submitting this project to the Designer's Choice Challenge at Paper Craft Crew #343 For this challenge to make a project of my choice .
Here's how I made the box card:
1. Start with a 7 1/2 by 9" piece of Smoky Slate card stock
2. On the 9" side score at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8, and 8 1/2"
3. Turn - cut 2" off the 7 1/2" side. Your card stock is now 5 1/2 by 9"
4. Score on the 5 1/2" side at 3". Burnish all folds.
5. Cut on each of the score lines of the bottom (the larger of the panels) - the 2 1/8, 4 1/4, and 6 3/8" - up to the 3" mark
6. Cut off the top portion of the 1" tab at an angle.
7. Adhere DSP to the top panels . You will need 4 pieces which are 1 7/8 by 2 1/4" each.
8. Turn over and adhere a second pattern of DSP on the bottom panels. You will need 4 pieces of
1 7/8 by 2 3/4" each
9. Apply tear and tape adhesive to remaining 1" tab and form a box.
10. Score 1/2" at each end of two pieces of 1 by 3" card stock. Burnish folds, apply tear and stick tape to these folds, and adhere each to the inside of the card.
Decorate card as desired. I used the Sailing Home stamp set with the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies to decorate the upper panels.
The box folds up as shown above and fits into a regular A2 envelope.
