Step 2 - Then placing the cardstock long way score it at 1 -1/4 inch , 3 -5/8 inch , 4 7/8 inch & 7 -1/2 inch.

And now for the Tutorial for the box ...Its really a very simple & easy to make box tutorial ...And this is so perfect for holding small note-cards ,tags ,chocolates & as it is in  the Indian tradition even some cash for all occasions....So firstly let me get to the supplies you will require for this :-

                                                   
So as you can see the basic supplies that yu will need is some atleast some 12 * 12 inch cardstocks of any color , Paper Trimmer (Fiskars) ,Scoring  Board (Martha Stewart)  Border Punch (Martha Stewart Doily Punch) ,Ink for Stamping (Memento Tuxedo Black),Distress inks (Ranger) Blending tool  ,Good pair of scissors ,Double sided tape ,Some strong adhesive .

And now here goes the tute for it :-

Step 1 : For the Base Box : Start with a 7 1/2 inch * 6 inch piece of CS.

Step 2 :Score at 1 inch on all four sides of this CS.

Step 3 : With a pair of scissors put cuts on all four sides at the 1 inch mark as shown in the picture below :

                                                                         
Step 4 :Fold on all the four sides where you have cut out the tabs at the 1 inch :

                                                   
Step 5 :Glue all the four corners together using double sided tape or an strong adhesive :

Now for the lid of the box :

Step 1 :Take a 9 1/2 inch * 6 inch piece of CS & score at 41/4 inch & 51.4 inch.
                                          

Step 2 :Fold the scored ends using your scoring tool & the lid will look something like this :

Step 3 ;now stick the box to the base of the lid  keeping it in centre as shown in the picture below :

                                                   
Now the measurements of the Band which goes over this box :-

Step 1 : You will need 11 1/4 inch CS by 2 inches &  you have to score at 1 inch ,5 1/2 inch ,6 1/2 inch ,10 3.4 inch & 11 inch & glue it.

                                                                                                                                                                       
 Step 2 : After you glue the two ends of this CS ,it forms a perfect band which will go over the box easily ,but  before you stick the 2 ends of the band ,it would be better if you embellish it with pattern paper of your choice :

Now here's a look of the finished box with its band removed ...Its a perfect size for the card I have made which nestles into it :-

                                                         
 As you can see I have embellished my box using punched laces ,pattern papers & few other thing of my choice !!...You can create these boxes for any theme you want & these could make lovely gifts for your near & dear ones especially for the upcoming Christmas season as well!...Hope you all like the tutorial & if you have any doubts..Do leave me a comment & I will try & get back to you as soon as possible.
