2 sheets of black or preferred colour , ( i use Cricut Box Board its thicker than other card stocks but getting hard to get as it comes from china, buy at spotlight ) but any cardstock will do.
3 sheets of patterned paper , i have used ULTIMATE CRAFTS designed by Sue Smyth. RAMBLING ROSE COLLECTION
i have used 2 the same with the lid different
- card stock instructions BASE
cut one sheet 10 inches by 12 inches score at 2 inches and 8 inches on the short side
turn now score at 5 inches & 7 inches long side ,
CUT with scissors the middle sections as shown, ( DO NOT MAKE YET. ITS EASIER TO PLACE PATTERN PAPERS ON WHILE FLAT ( well thats my theory anyway lol)
THE PATTERNED PAPERS - BASE OF BOX
( note i cut the 4 3/4 side first ( if a certain pattern ) as if you have birds you dont want them flying sideways
cut 4 of 4 3/4 x 5 3/4 " glue in place on Base in place
cut 8 of 4 3/4 x 1 3/4 only glue on 6 at this stage leave outside not glued you will see when you make the box up then add the other 2 later
cut 1 of 5 3/4 x 1 3/4 add to middle of the base
LID card stock 2nd sheet
Cut 6 1/8 x 10 1/8 inches SCORE at 2 " & 8 1/8 inches long side
turn paper SCORE at 2 " and 4 1/8 inches short side
CUT the edges like you did on the base
LID PAPERS
cut 3 at 5 3/4 x 1 3/4" glue in place
cut 2 at 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inch now make up the lid after you have cut the 2 on the middle tuck in the sides and glue in place,then your patterned paper over it lid done now
glue the small flaps to the middle flap then add pattern papers to each end
POCKETS CARD STOCK
LARGE 7 1/2 X 4 1/2 SCORE on 3 sides at 3/4 " if you want a wider pocket you will need to add extra IT TO BE 8 or so and score 1 inch . (ALWAYS JUST CHECK BEFORE GLUING TO THE BASE TO MAKE SURE IT FITS IN SLOT L O L )
MEDIUM 5 1/2 x 2" SCORE at 1/2 & ONE inch both ends
small 4 1/4 x 2 inch SCORE at 1 & ONE inch both ends
press folds make crisp
POCKETS Pattern papers
CUT LARGE POCKET 5 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches glue in place then cut one corner and make the pocket
DO NOT glue into box yet , i join all pieces together then find it easier to manoover into place
CUT MEDIUM cover 3 1/4 x 1 3/4 inch
CUT SMALL 2 1/4 X 1 3/4 inch
Now join the smaller ones you just finished to the larger pocket only at the backs for now , lining up the 2 edges first ,then when secure, secure the middle sections
now you can add glue to the sides of the pockets and add to the base of your box
you can add pen, sticky notes , cards with envelopes Or if you have crafty friends
im going to add things like ribbons , washi tapes, buttons, brads you know you get so much of stuff im also going to add dried lavender in small bags so you can place in your drawers . The list is endless it does not just have to be for stationery
Congratulations you have completed your stationery box , now to decorate & add to goodies inside
