Here is a link to instructions on how to make this style of card. The only difference if I use a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock for the base so that I can get two cards out of one piece of card stock.

It is simple. Just score the 11" side at 3", 5", 8", & 10" score the 8 1/2" side at 1 1/2" & 2" the 2" will be your box bottom. Cut all but one of the panels off of the top section and use that to fold over and make your lid.

There is a great tutorial posted here for this box.

I have been busy today, I had the day off and with the time change I was up early so I have been hanging out in my stamp room.

Birthday Present

I made this little tin full of Hershey's nuggets for a friend of mine I work with for her birthday. You wouldn't believe it but the container is actually a little pringles can. I just covered it with Designer Series paer and tied a ribbon around the top.

I covered the nuggets with the same paper. I ran 3" strips of paper through my Xryon and the cut them to 3" x 1" and covered each one of the nuggets. I printed the "Happy Birthday" off of the computer onto 8160 Avery labels and just wrapped them around the nuggets also. To get the paper on the top I cut an "X" in the lid and ran different strips of paper through the crimper and then just folded the paper in half and stuck it through the "X". Enjoy!
