Greeting Card Organiser - Update

..... and a Happy New Year!!
I've now managed to work out the measurements for a box large enough to accommodate A5 cards as mentioned here ...

I've calculated 2 sets of measurements. One using A3 card and one using 12x12 so there is a choice depending on what cardstock you have available. The method will change slightly if 12x12 is used but not significantly. It just means that the 2 pieces of card are joined in a different place. If A3 card is used the method is exactly as per the video.

Using A3 Cardstock for the Box
One piece cut to 13½" x 10". With the 13½" side going across the top, score it at 2½", 5", and 12" (from either the left or right hand edge but measure from the selected edge each time).
One piece cut to 9½" x 10". With the 9½" side going across the top, score it at 2½".
Two pieces cut to 6" x 6¾". With the 6" side going across the top, score it every ½"

Using 12x12 Cardstock for the Box
One piece cut to 12" x 10". With the 12" side going across the top, score it at 2½" and 5".
One piece cut to 11" x 10". With the 11" side going across the top, score it at 1½" and 4". ***
Two pieces cut to 6" x 6¾". With the 6" side going across the top, score it every ½"

*** This is where the method of joining the pieces together will change as the tab made by the 1½" scoreline will be stuck to the largest area of the 12x10 piece of card and not the section as detailed in the video instructions.

All other cardstock, papers and ribbons used for decorating need to be adjusted accordingly to fit with these measurements but, they can be calculated once the box has been made.

Footnote: Why stop here. Make a box for any specific size card by just adjusting the measurements. Would make a lovely gift filled with square notelets, for example. If anyone would like a box for a different sized card and has trouble revising the measurements just leave a comment with a request and I'll see what I can do.

Enjoy!!
