It's My Birthday!

Hi Everyone! I have gotten to take it real easy today since it's my birthday, and I spent most of the day with my stamps. Or my cardstock. I got that all organized, and actually had time to do a little stamping. I have enjoyed my day, and actually got the tutorial finished that I was trying to get done. So, I am going to try to post it.

This is for a Halloween box that I did. If there are other tutorials out there for the same box, I apologize for reposting, I haven't seen them, and came up with these directions. Hope they make sense to everyone.

1. Stamp 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock all over with background stamp of choice. Then score paper at
2 1/2" , 4 1/2", 6 1/2", 8 1/2" and 10 1/2". Then score long sides at 1/2" and 2 1/2". I marked them so you could see them.

2. Cut sides at 1 1/2 " up to the second panel on one end. Make sure your uncut second panel is on the same end.

3.Cut sides up to the center lines.

4. Cut tabs at an angle, all except for the second panels.

5. Make all folds. Cut off small tabs on all 4 corners.

6. Put adhesive on 1st and 3rd panels on stamped side close to fold of flap. Fold in and adhere.

7. Adhere 1/2" flaps to inside of box.

8. Adhere 1/2" piece & flaps to lid.

9. Fold in to lid flap.

10.. Fold lid inside box and decorate.
