Brenda and her husband, son and Shetland Sheepdog moved from Canada to Memphis several years ago.  Although she is still a Canadian at heart, she enjoys the mild winters and the friends she has made down South.

Pop-ups and 3D projects are Brenda’s favorite things to make.  Some of her designs have been featured in the Rubber Stamper.  She has been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since 2006.  When not stamping, Brenda enjoys walking, bird watching and volunteering at her son’s school library.

Instructions (for square box): 2" x 2"

Step 1:

Cut box cardstock to measure 4" x 9-1/2”.

Step 2: 

With the 4” length along the top of the Scor-Pal, score at 1” and at 3”.

Step 3:

Rotate cardstock as illustrated.

Score 1”, 3”, 4” and 6”.

8"

10"

Step 4:

Orientation remains the same.

Align left edge of paper with the

15/16” mark ( between 7/8” and

1” mark). Score at 8” and 10”.

This is how your cardstock will look. The score lines have been enhanced for visibility. Keep your card stock in this same orientation as the remaining steps will be in this direction. Remember the right side of your work is the indented score lines. You will eventually be folding with the score lines to the outside of the folds.

Step 5:

Cutting lines are shown in black solid lines. The corners will fall away. Angle cut

the four tabs as illustrated. Create a centered, 3/4” tab on the right side of your

cardstock.

Step 6:

Cut a centered 1” slot (enhanced for visability) with a hobby blade. One pass with the hobby blade is enough, the slot needs to be narrow.

Step 6

Step 7:

Make a mark in the center of the 2” square section. Use this to center the 1 3/8” punch.

Step 8:

Use a stamping wheel to create a design on the box. Remember you are wheeling the side that has the indentations (score lines) on it.

Step 9:

Apply Scor-Tape™ around opening. Cut a piece of acetate  a little less than 2” square. Removing covering of tape. Stick acetate in place.
