ALBUM IN A BOX
There are 2 Sizes of the Album in a Box because some of the 12x12 card stock isn't true to size. I purchased what I thought was a 12x12 and had to go home and find the smaller size Album in a box to accommodate my paper.
Here is the Larger version first(12x12 size):
Lid card stock:
6 x 6 score at 5 1/8 on all 4 sides. Snip one end on each side (up to scoring line)and fold in to make lid, tape.
Box Card stock :
12 x 12 (large box) Score every 4 inches on each side. Cut out the 4 corners, so you are left with a cross shape.
Cut a 12 x 12 card stock into an 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 square (middle box) Score every 4 inches on each side. Cut out the 4 corners, so you are left with a cross shape.
Cut a 12 x 12 into an 11 x 11 square (small box) Score every 4 inches on each side. Cut out the 4 corners, so you are left with a cross shape.
***IMPORTANT NOTE: Assemble the boxes AFTER you decorate.***
Patterned Paper, Cut:
1--- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the lid
4--- 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the sides of the lid
4 --- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the outside (this is for the large box 12 x 12)
4--- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the inside (this is for the large box 12 x 12)
4--- 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the outside ( this is for the middle box 11 1/2 x 11 1/2)
4--- 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the inside ( this is for the middle box 11 1/2 x 11 1/2)
4--- 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the outside (this is for the small box 11 x 11)
4--- 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 that will be for the inside (this is for the small box 11 x 11)
1--- 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 this is for the center of the small box bottom
Tape or glue the patterned paper to each side of the boxes and lid. Use Red Line tape to attach the small and medium boxes to the large box. Fold each box inward and put lid onto the Album in a Box.
