Hi there. A really quick post today with the tutorial for making boxes for square cards. I thought I had a tutorial on this, but cant find it, so here it is:
You can adjust measurements to suit your cards. Basically what you do is measure you card- I make my cards 14.8cm square .... Add 4mm to this measurement. This is going to be the base of your box. I do my boxes 2.5cm or 1 inch deep, so you need to add this to the cardstock measurement X 2. So in total you should have a 20.2cm piece of cardstock for the base box (that is 15.2cm + 2.5cm + 2.5cm). Score each edge 2.5cm or 1 inch. then score each little corner on the box diagonally (the first picture may best describe what I mean). then it is a matter of gluing the corners in. I find it helpful to fold up all the score lines before gluing and just hold the corners with a paper clip until the glue takes hold. Do exactly the same technique for the lid EXCEPT add 0.3mm to the size of the cardstock... so you will have a piece of card 20.5cm square, scoring at 2.5cm or 1 inch around each side. You need this extra little bit so the top sits over the base.
Take a look at the pictures below, they will be much more helpful in explaining how to make these boxes. If you have any questions, please drop me a message.
Stay safe XOX Tania
