Cube Post it Note Holder with Calendar - a craft fair item

I have a plastic cube note holder by my phone and although I like it, it is very ordinary. Looking at it  inspired me to create my own cube note holder which holds post it notes, has a lid, and as a bonus, a mini calendar on the inside lid. This makes a great craft fair item.

This is one for a guy.  It is made with Basic Gray card stock and retired Basic Gray DSP.  The stamp is from "Lovely as a Tree"

It is held closed with a belly band which opens and closes with a velcro dot.  The belly band is decorated with leaves die cut from Rooted in Nature.

 Open the lid and the contents of the box are revealed, as well as the mini calendar on the inside of the lid.  The notch on the front was made using a 1 3/4" circle punch.


The box can hold 4 post it notes.

Here are the dimensions:
1 piece of card stock 9 1/8 by 7 5/8" (makes the box)
1 piece of card stock 8 1/8 by 3 1/2" (for wrap around)
2 pieces of card stock 3 1/2 by 3 3/8" - to reinforce wrap around

DSP
3 pieces 1 3/8 by 3" (for front and sides of box)
1 piece 3 1/4 by 1 3/8" (for back of box)
2 pieces 3 1/4 by 3 1/4" for outside and inside lid

Scoring:
9 1/ by 7 5/8" on the 9 1/8" side:  1 1/2, 3, 6 1/8"  Turn score 1 12/ , 3 , 6 1/8"
8 1/8 by 3 1/2" on the 8 1/8" side: 3 3/8, 4 7/8"

Here are some other cubes I made today:
