I have searched Google to no avail. I am looking for the cardstock size/dimensions and the score line placement in order to make a box that would be 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 (inside) and about 2" in height. I want to put 4 x 6 photos in it. A simple rectangle box with a lid and I can not find this anywhere (I know it has to be there) I would love a chart with various sizes of boxes for use for future needs.
Greatly appreciate all the help I can get on this.
Thank you

So your paper should be 8.25" x 6.25" and score every side at 2".

So your paper should be 8.25" x 6.25" and score every side at 2". I think if you need 2" in height, you need to add double that to each measurement, so for a box 6 1/4 x 4 1/4" you would need to start with a rectangle that is 10 1/4 x 8 1/4" Your lid dimensions need to allow for a little bigger finished size, say 4 3\8 by 6 3/8". If you want it to be about 1" deep, it would need to measure 6 3/8 x 8 3/8", and scored 1" from each edge? Haven't done these for awhile, but remember either snipping 1" into the fold line at each corner to allow for a "tab", or snipping a diagonal into each corner to the intersection of the fold lines to allow for an overlaid triangular tab. Good luck, maribeth ! |

grammadee - thank you, you confirmed what I finally found (after hours of searching). I have not had a chance to try it out, but the measurements are making sense to me that it should work. I am busy making a Gypsy Wagon right now using the tutorial from Scrapbookers of County Craft Creations, and a kit purchased from County Craft Creations. Need to get something finished so I can post to the Pokey Peas Thread.
