Step 1
Place the patterned paper into the Scor-Pal",
with the 8 1/2" side on top. Score at 2 1/8" and
6 3/8".

Step 2
Turn the paper so the 11" side lines up with the
top and score at 1 1/4"and 3 3/8".
Repeat on opposite side.
Hint:
If you are using the Scor-Pal, move the
paper to the 1/8" score line and score at 3 1/2"
for the 3 3/8" score.
Step 3
Pre-fold the long score lines.

Step 4
Unfold paper. Keep the side that you want on
the outside of the box facing toward you.
Fold the two score lines on the 8 1/2" side up.
Step 5
Flip paper over.

Fold the second score lines down.
Step 6
Fold first one end's short side up,
then the other.

Step 7
Take the outer upper corner of the just folded
side and carefully fold it down diagonally.
Be careful to not rip the paper on top.
Repeat on the other four corners.
Step 8
Unfold everything.
Step 9 (Optional)
Adhere a decorative strip to the long un-scored
sides.

Step 10 (Optional)
Cut the corner rectangles diagonally from the
long, unscored sides toward the edge. Not
completely, just on a slight angle.
This will ensure that parts of the sides won't
show up after you fold the box.
Step 11
Take one of the corners next to the decorated
side and fold it over to the long side.

Repeat on the other corner of that long side.
Step 12
Fold the long side down.
Repeat these steps on the other side.

Step 13
Fold sides down carefully.
Hint:
It is a bit difficult and works better the second
time you fold it down. The thinner the paper,
the easier the folding is.
Step 14 (Optional)
You could keep the card like it is, or you could
add a belly band. If you want to add it, take a
long strip (10" or longer) of patterned paper.
Add adhesive to one end.
Step 15 (Optional)
Wrap the strip around the card, keeping it
loose. Adhere strip ends together to create the
belly band.

Step 16 (Optional)
Adhere image or sentiment to the belly band
and create a matching panel for the inside of
the card for a really polished look.
The finished card size will be 4 1/4" square.
