As I was blog hopping I came across a book box card and wanted to try it. Unfortunately the excellent directions were in metric measurements and as I needed to use my score board which isn't metric I had to figure out how to do it in inches!
I will give you the measurements I used but for metric and for the directions I am sending you to the Sassy Scrapper blog.
These are the measurements I used for an A2 card (5.5" x 4.25")
For the folds cut 2 pieces 9" x 5.5" and 2 pieces 9" x 4" from cardstock and score at .75" intervals
For the cover Cut one piece 9.25" x 5.5" and score at 4.25" and 5.5"
I made my cover with white CS and then used aqua CS and DP on the front, back and inside. On the front I cut 2 white rectangles, used a Cuttlebug folder on one piece and then used a die (Heartfelt Creations HCD711)on the top piece and raised it with dimensional tape, The butterflies are Martha Stewart punches covered with glitter.
On the left inside of the card I stamped the sentiment, Let Your Dreams Take Flight, with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder on a panel cut with a Marianne Designs Creatables die. Inside the box I used the positive part of the die I used on the front with the same butterflies and glued them between different folds of the book.
