Top Note Box

Create a gorgeous box out of Top Note Die cuts.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Attach your 3 3/4" x 5" piece of patterned paper to back of wood sheets.
   
   If you use cardstock, you do not need to do this step.

   

2. Step 2

   Lay piece on Top Note die with wood sheet side facing down, lining up the long side just inside of the perforation marks.

   

3. Run through the Big Shot™ and decorate as you wish.
   
   Note:
   You can run both sheets through at once, but I did them separately to get the best definition of the “perforation marks” on the box.

   

4. Step 3

   For the inside box piece, score your 5 1/2" x 8" piece of cardstock on its long side at 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", and 7".
