#maymaymadeit #christmasinjuly #giftboxes
OK, we have made a lot of Christmas cards, so now what do we do with them??
Maymay has the perfect gift idea...boxes! Tonight Maymay creates 3 different fun boxes to gift those cards to friends and family...and we only used 3 pieces of pattern cardstock!!!
So gather up those supplies and let's create!

Teresa Brown: • A2 Card Box Tutorial U...
Karen Titus: • Greeting Card Holder Box
~~Measurements~~
Box 1
You will need (1) piece of pattern cardstock
We used the Carta Bella Home for Christmas 12x12 paper collection
Cut down that 12x12 piece to 8 1/2" x 11" be careful of orientation
Next you will score on the 11" side at 2" ~~ 3" ~~ 9"~~ and 10" ... turn to the 8 1/2" side and score at 1" ~~2" ~~ 6 1/2" ~~ and 7 1/2"
(see the video for cutting instructions)
Box 2
You will need (1) 12" x 11 1/4" piece of pattern cardstock
We used the Paper Roses Black & White 12x12 paper collection
Next you will score on the 12" side at 1/2"~~1" ~~ 5 1/2" ~~6 1/2" ~~11" and 11 1/2" ... turn to the 11 1/4" side and score at 6 1/4" ~~ 6 3/4" and 10" ( see the video for cutting instructions)
Box 3
You will need (1) piece of 12 x 12 piece of pattern cardstock
You will cut that down to
(1) 6" x 12" score on the 12" side at 4 3/4" ~~ 6 1/2" ~~ 11 1/4"
(1) 6" (w) x 3 3/4" (t) now score on the 3 3/4" side at 1 3/4"
cut the leftover piece to 6" x 5 1/4" and then take that piece and cut into (2) 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"... then score those 2 pieces at 1/2" on three sides
(see the video for cutting and assembly instructions)

Great boxes. Add a handle to the second box and it would be a purse box as another option. 😉

Thanks so much for this creative idea that we all probably have the product to create! The vellum was a home-run along with the coloring technique. So often many of the idea’s required so much product that it can be overwhelming for a “newbie”! Thanks!

@deniseharwood9521 11 ай бұрын

I love the one in the middle (the first box) because the outside of the box says the same as the sentiment on the cards. And I love the last box you made because it holds so many cards and envelopes. I think the second box you made would be so cute with a belly band. I often just use velcro dots for the closure instead of a magnet. Thank you for all the great ideas!

On the first box I think if you tuck it in you wouldn't have to glue it for easy removal, especially if you use a belly band decoration around it.

If you score your paper on the other side it will crease better. The scoring tool stretches the paper so it should fold without tearing.

@MaymayMadeIt 11 ай бұрын

The age old discussion on my channel! Lol. I score this way on purpose. I like the way the cardstock folds better this way. I have a video explaining my thought process.

You cant really give christmas cards for Christmas presents...unless the recipients save the catds for the following year. But i love the idea for note cards or birthday sets. Thank you
