More card in a box

 

I sort of used Tanya Bell's measurements to create this card, but it was still larger than I wanted, so I used some of my decorative scissors to cut it down.

 

This is my version of a standard size card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

( I was informed by a housemate that Christmas is over :) )

 

Here is my pattern for the one created in previous posts with notations to make this standard size card in a box.

 

POP-UP CARD IN A BOX (5"x6 ½" card) [ A-2 - (4 1/4" x 5 ½" ) sizes in brackets]

 

Score 8 ½" x 11 [8 ½" x9"] card stock at 2 ½", 5", 7 ½", and 10" [2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8, and 8 ½ ]

Cut a 2" x 11" [3"x 9"] piece off. With the tab at one end, cut off a 4 ½"[3 1/8"] piece. Trim
1/4" off each end to make 2" by 4"
piece. Then cut this piece in half. This
will give you  two 1" x 4" pieces.
[Cut two pieces from the 3" x 3 1/8"
piece measuring 3/4" x 3 1/8"] 

 

 

Score the 6 ½" x 11"[5 ½ x 9] piece at 2 3/4"[2 ½ ]. Cut these to form the box flaps. On the  
1" [½ ]tab, cut the smaller piece off at an angle. This tab will form the box when taped together.

 

From DSP cut: 1 pc @ 6 1/4" x 2 1/4" (inside back of box) [5 1/4 x 1 7/8]
                       6   @ 2 ½" x 2 1/4"   (Both sides of flaps) [2 1/4 x 1 7/8]
                       3   @ 3 ½" x 2 1/4"   (Bottom sides of box) [2 3/4 x 1 7/8]  

Attach them to the box as shown:

 

Inside of Box

                                                                Outside of box.

Using score tape on the tab, form the box.

Using score tape, position the small strips on the inside of the box:

 

Fold the box flat to the right, then to the left, creasing the scores sharply with a bone folder. See picture -> This creates a flat card to insert in an envelope.
        
                                        Decorate as desired, attaching cut outs to strips. 

                                               Create envelope or liner to match.

 

I hope this all makes sense, because it really isn't difficult. If you have any questions, just let me know!

 

Have a GREAT day and thanks for stopping by!!
