You can DIY a Christmas card box with a lid and fill it with handmade cards; it makes a great gift. Think it’s hard to make? Not at all!
The math is actually pretty easy! Just measure your Depth and DOUBLE it. Measure your Length and add the doubled Depth for your first measurement. Measure your Width and add the doubled Depth for your second measurement. Put the two together and BOOM you have the size of cardstock you need to make your Christmas card box!

Thanks so much for including how to do the math to make the box. You are a great teacher.

I totally get it now, Connie...I was a little slow the last time you shared this formula for the perfect box building, but I got it now and will use it for ANY box in the future. Off to make my BOX LID SHIM now. In my eyes, you earned the award for 'The Best Craft Teacher of All Time!, Connie. Thank you so much for sharing and for your contribution to this wonderful therapeutic papercraft community.

I usually make cards for our Chinese auctions at church. I generally cover my paper pumpkin boxes for the cards and envelopes. Everyone one is excited to win my cards. Now I have another option Thank you.

Connie- This is an extremely useful video. I think it will be the most useful video for gift giving of all times. You are right with this information we can make a very useful box for our handmade cards for any occasion by picking the card stock colors & the card topper to decorate the top. That shim will be the best box lid making tool of all times. You are so creative. Thank you for sharing this video , especially for the new card makers out there. You are certainly helping many people create & share the lovely Stampin Up cards with others. 🥰👏👏👏💕

I am such a visual person and if I had been reading this in directions it would have been much harder. I am not a good “math” person..so this was an excellent video. Thank you for all you do…you’re the best :). P.S. I can’t wait for more Master Classes 💕

I frequently adapt measurements due to the We R Memories all in one (trimmer, score, e.t.c) ruler being right to left numbering to focus on the cutting edge. I thought I didn't have an edge to place this brilliant shim. Then remembered there's a blue guard piece under the blade flap I'm supposed to flip over when scoring 🤣 which I rarely do. The shim can sit on the trimmer! I am a happy girl!

Thank you for the directions on the shim. I did create it as stated, but I have a different scoring board and the first one I made was way too big. I have now taken measurements of my board and created one to fit it and it works beautifully. I have a storage location on my scoring board and will store the shim there so it is always at the ready. Thank you for all your wonderful videos and tips.
