Diana & Kirsteen - beautiful boxes! I haven't quite caught on to the directions yet but I'm going to try.

I saw another one on twopeas that was a bit simpler but also cute.

Maybe this is a dumb question but, for those of you experienced crafters...in the exploding box directions, it said to use a scoring tool. If you don't have one, what do you use? When I make folds for cards, I just fold the card stock and use a ruler to make the fold. Do I need the scorer for the box?

The scoring tool is the black blade on my trimmer...you know, the one I lost

I was wondering if using a ruler and a stylus would score good enough...

I'm not trying this till I'm going to CKC. I think I'll make one for my friend that is going with me, and give her the directions. I mean, she deservs something for being brave enough to stay in the room with "Snore Girl" (ZZZZZZzzzz)

HI,
I don't have the directions yet...but scoring makes it easier to fold and doesn't break the paper weave....if you have a bone folder that works well.
There are scoring blades on many cutters and there are little scoring tools you can buy also....I have seen some that look like a ladybug.

For scoring, I use my embossing tool...the kind with a little ball on the end.

I just run it along the edge of a ruler to keep it straight. It works really well & since I do a lot of embossing, I didn't need to buy anything else.

krestian--I just send you the file.

I dont even use a scoring blade, although I do have a scoring blade for one of my trimmers. I just draw the grid on the paper in pencil and fold with my bone folder. I'm too lazy to switch the blade out I guess.

So my only question is about the pockets. How are they attached?

You just fold it over and put adhesive across the bottom.
