Turn your paper again and score at  1/4" / 1 1/4" / 7 3/4" / 8 5/8" but only score the line like shown above in the photo. It will end at the 3 7/8" line

Cut off on both sides the small 1/4" scored paper and make a cut from the left side to the 4" score line and from the right side to the 5" score line

Fold all scored lines and cut off the marked paper as shown in the photo.

Get your stencil and ink ready. You can color up the whole box or only the outside as I did.

It should look like this.

Let`s start assembling the box. We start with the outside. Get glue on the marked paper and stick it together.

It will look like this when you`ve finished.

If you want you can add a small ribbon into your box, glue it on the paper like shown above and put the box together like you`ve done with the outside box.

You`ll get this when you`ve finished.

Stamp this little fairy and color her up. Cut out the shown pieces, add some Nuvo Drops to the blossoms and let dry.

That`s it! Your box is ready and I hope you enjoyed making it!

Die cut 4 Long Flags (second smallest die) from green cardstock.
