Note card boxes

/ 2 Comments

These hold 4 note cards and envelopes.  Each one uses 1 sheet of Designer paper– with no waste

My friend Linda brought one over to show me and I went to town making 10 for my oldest sons teachers.  He loves to give gifts almost as much as i do.

I have some basic specs, but not detailed.  Its a cased project too, but I don’t know the original artist.

DSP 7.5 x 12 score at 1-7/8 down each long side.

turn and score at 5-5/8 then at 6 7/8

fold the short score line up to the long score line to make the box.  you can see how to do the fold HERE on a smaller scale (love this project too)

the left over DSP- cut to 2.25 x 5 and 3.5 x 4.5.  use this to decorate your note cards!  FUN!

Quick picture shot with my phone was the best I could do in crunch time!!!
