Jodi's 20 card box

[needsmorestamps!]

Here's a box that I came up with the holds 20 cards and envelopes.

I've attached a PDF file that includes instructions for making this using either 12x12 cardstock or 2 pieces of 8.5 x 11.

It's also got instructions for either a box type lid or a fold over flap lid.

Please be kind - it's the first time I've used Pagemaker and made a PDF file. I've also no training in making these type of documents or pictures

Here's a link to a photo of what the instructions are for:

Have fun!!

Please note - that sometimes simply clicking on the file below will NOT always open it up :( If that happens to you right click your mouse over the file name and select "save target as". Then save it on your hard drive. Next open up reader and then select to open up this file it should work then!!

Jodi....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You'd never know it was your first PDF file. I admired your sample in the gallery and was waiting anxiously for you to post this. I think, if you don't mind....this will be used for one of my Stamp Camps!! Looks lovely and like it's a lot of fun!!! Thanks again!!

I CANNOT get your attached PDF file to open. Won't you please send me the pattern/instructions via e-mail? [email protected]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[needsmorestamps!]

Gals, sometimes files won't open by just clicking on them :( Try right clicking the file as selecting "save target as". Then save it to your computer. From there open it up. Don't know why this works but it usually does.

Let me know if you still can't get it.

[jwjazz]

Sometimes you can get stubborn files to open by first opening the intendeded program such as Acrobat Reader for a PDF, and then using file>open and choosing your downloaded file.

[kraftykat]

I'm dying to have this, but i can't open the file! can someone help?

[Aunt Ki]

Jodi, This is great! TFS!!! Can't wait to try it out!

[laciann]

Thank you so much! The file I open still says 3 and 9 and shows on the diagram 3 and 9. But that looks right to me. Isn't it?

A quick FYI: If you are having problems opening .pdf files, try upgrading your Adobe Reader to the newest version (7.0). Since doing this, I have had few, if any, problems opening .pdf files. And to make it even easier, here's a link to the Adobe site for the download: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

HTH!

[sara henton]

Thanks for sharing this. Can't wait to try and make it.

Yes, that is the correct measurements. I fixed the file to show the right numbers after my typo was pointed out to me

[rlsjohnson]

Thank you! I can't wait to try this!

[PrairieRose]

Jodi you did beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!!!!! Nicole

[ladyofleisure]

I am just getting to this post and from reading some questions, I can't tell if the correct numbers on page 1 are supposed to say score at 3 & 9 inches or at 6 & 9. Can someone tell me which is the right measurements? Posts #8 and #19 don't make sense...
Thanks so much

[Chelybug1]

What an incredible job you did on these directions. I'm in the planning stages for my annual Mother's Day Gift Stamp Camp and this is PERFECT!!

Thanks so much for sharing your creation with us and for your hard work!! It's much appreciated!

Thanks so much

What ever measurements are on the PDF file linked in the first post are the correct measurements. UNLESS you downloaded the first version to your computer and didn't download the second version.

[ladyofleisure]

OK. I just downloaded it yesterday before reading all the threads, so what I have must be correct. Thanks for your help and your directions.

[GarnetJ]

Thank you so much. I need to make some cards for a 4-H Club auction.... Raising money for their outdoor riding and camping arena. This will make a set of cards so much better!

[Nanou]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[julie in nj]

I made the box! The bottom part anyway - it seemed like I didn't know what I was doing with all the creasing and cutting - but it worked!!
Thank you so much for this; I really appreciate it.

HTH!

Also, if you have an older version of Windows, you cannot download the newest Adobe, so you should just do the "right click thing and save to target". It works great!! I almost never just click on a PDF file, I also have dial up and it takes forever, but not if I right click stuff!! HTH

[ducki]

I just wanted to thank you for saving me a lot of time! I was going to tear an envelope box apart and try to make a pattern out of it. Your sample that you made is beautiful!

Thanks Again!

[stampinvicki]

Jodi, your cardbox is beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing and posting the instructions.

[Eddie Meyer]

Jody,
Thanks so much. I love templates and instructions!

[pokenhobs]

Hi,

I have made a few of your boxes and love them... I hope you don't mind, but I have sent a few people here to find the Instructions for this card.

Thanks,

[Island Stamper]

Thanks for sharing Jodi!

[djuseless]

Great idea! I can't wait to make one!!!

[Gen2580]

Thank you for this beautiful box!

[angie1224]

Very awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[TheGeneralsWife]

Some one linked me to this page. Thank you for putting this up, I can't wait to try it out for myself!

[turtlescrapper]

Thank you! This was just what I was looking for, with all the swaps I am going to need to make more than 1!! :mrgreen: I was going to buy one of those out of a catalog that you alter, but this is much better because it is free cuz I already have TONS of stuff! I am sure we can all relate. Thanks, I will let you know how it turns out!!!

Check out my swaps!
