I received quite a few emails requesting directions for the "Cutie Pie" box (you can see it in this post here) that I decided to do a quick tutorial. I am a visual learner, so seeing pictures along with the directions has always been helpful for me...and I hope this will be helpful to you!
Materials Needed: 7 1/2" square piece of c.s. (this will be the bottom), 5 3/16" square piece of solid c.s. and another 5 3/16" piece of patterned paper (these will be the top), 2 strips of patterned paper (1 3/4" x 12" and 1 3/4" x 3 1/2"), Paper cutter, Paper cutter with a scoring blade, Bone Folder, Adhesive, & stamps and embellishments (to decorate top)
Score the 7 1/2" square piece at 2" on all four sides.
Score the 5 3/16" square c.s at 3/4" on all four sides. Repeat with the 5 3/16" piece of patterned paper.
After all three square pieces are scored, use your Bone Folder and fold each part over and crease well (this is important...it will help your finished product look neat and crisp).
If you want a scalloped border around the box top's edge, do that now. (There are many tutorials out there on how to make a scalloped edge using a corner rounder punch so I won't repeat that here).
Next, you'll want to trim 1/4" off of all 4 sides of the 5 3/16" piece of patterned paper. (This will allow you to see the scalloped border better). After that, adhere the 5 3/16" patterned piece on top of the 5 3/16" solid piece. 
Now, make one cut (from the outside edge to the inner square on each corner of the 5 3/16: (top) piece and the 7 1/2" (bottom) piece.
Now, fold those "flaps" in and glue down to form the box and the top.
After you have assembled the bottom and top, adhere the 13/4" x 3 1/2" strip to the the side of the bottom (see picture below). Then wrap the other strip (1 3/4" x 12") around the rest of the box.
Now you can decorate the top any way you desire!
I created this box so that it would hold the Mini Note Cards and envelopes (both from Stampin' Up!). I will post the cards that I made and put inside in another post (this one is already quite long :-)
