So.. I'm trying this, but using my Silhouette. I've got the box and patterned paper done today, and left a couple of embellishments to dry overnight. I had to stop as it was getting dark, and I was absolutely shattered with all the moving around.
I am impressed I drew the shape for cutting - and that it's as near as I'd ever get, probably better than with a paper trimmer.
Might be finished tomorrow and I'll share my success - or failure!

Pretty card! I have a great paper trimmer and scoring boards so I'm doing fine making my bases. I figure I saved $30 not buying the Lawn Fawn die. I'd love it for the tiny stitched boxes that come with it but I decided to just make do. I made my first ones a few weeks ago and made another one this morning and got it to the post office just in time!
I found the instructions at Split Coast Stampers and used the A2 dimensions. I changed it up some because it is silly to waste paper after cutting out the base and then cutting a strip off the side to use for the inside strips. I use scraps and not necessarily the same color as the base. I did the taller version like you did but think I like the wider version better.
To make it easy for me, I made a sample base of each style I wanted and then wrote the size to cut and where the score lines go with a marker. It is wonderful to have the sample base sitting there with all the information I need. I've also started making several bases at the same time so that I have them ready to go.
You "have" to use cardstock 12 inches long in the wider version but I improvised this morning because I wanted to use a particular turquoise cardstock and use the wider version. Instead of the tab, I used acid free tape to tape it together from the inside so I could just cut 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock in half for the base. I have two different little nested dies that I can use to cut the little rectangle shapes to decorate. One has a scalloped edge and the other has a deckle edge.
