Hi Connie, I have an easier way to make boxes with lids. Just make the paper for the lid 1/8th larger. For example, cut the bottom box paper at 6x6, and the lid at 6 1/8th by 6 1/8th. Then score at 2 inches all around on both pieces of paper. The lid will fit perfectly. I love your videos and your positive attitude, never change!

Great tip -- I was sure there was an easier and quicker process.

My favorite is the box with half the lid putting scrap paper for notes! A fantastic gift for coworkers♥

This is brilliant, I already knew to either move over slightly or use a shim, but to have something that slips on the side and stays in place, no more struggling to hold everything in place and score, just brilliant... Thank you sooo much for sharing Connie!

As always your tips are fabulous and I've learned a lot! thanks! Now the way I was taught to make lids is to cut the lid paper 1/8 of an inch wider then score the same as the box like in your video and you got a fitting lid. This has helped a lot cause I "misplace" everything on my crafting table and find it 10 minutes later when it was just sitting on my table. ♥

Hello Mrs Connie, I just wanted to thank you for you taking the time to show us your tricks to making a box without any trouble with the lid fitting just right. I have been searching the u tube all over and with a lot of failure and many sites yours worked just great. And thank you for showing us how to make the shim to fit over our scoreboard, even though I do not have a stamping up scoreboard I had to do some figuring with the sides if the board is not the same as the one you made and gave the instructions for making one. I do have one question what size are the boxes you are showing in this video. Thank you, Patricia may

@simplysimplestamping Жыл бұрын

I don't have these boxes any longer but honestly, you will want to customize the box to fit what's going inside so stick to the L + D + D and W + D + D and you will have a perfect box.
