Baby Boy Card Box

Hi all! It's Sandie here and today I am sharing a baby boy card and box I made recently for a friend. The box is a standard base and lid type box and I decorated the top and sides to coordinate with the card.

To make the box you just need 2 squares of white card plain 250gsm. The size will depend on the size of your card.

If your card is 5" (130mm) you will need 8.25" square for the base and 8 5/16" for the lid.
Score both pieces of card at 0.75" and 1.5" on all four sides. Cut away the outer 3 sections on each corner leaving one section from which to make a tab, as shown below. I like to taper the edges of the tabs and outer flaps for a neater fit.

Apply double sided tape to the outside of the tabs and the inside of the outer flaps.
Remove the tape backing from the tabs and adhere to the inside of the box as shown. Remove the tape backing from the flaps and fold inwards, covering the tabs.
