Mini Pizza Box Tutorial

This mini pizza box (right) is the fastest and easiest box to create and assemble on the planet (at least in my experience), especially with the assistance of a Scor-Pal (although it's not essential). 

The 4" x 4" box accommodates a collection of small cards and envelopes (like the card featured) or a small gift (think stocking stuffer or jewelry). TIP:  Be sure to size the envelope just under 4 x 4 so it will fit in the box and the cards slightly smaller than the envelopes so they will fit inside the envies--make sense?

I was inspired to give the pizza box a try after seeing last week's Splitcoast Ways' to Use Challenge (TLC189) based on this TUTORIAL. and my down-line demo Tiffany's Project.  TIP:  There's also instruction on how to do a 3 x 3 version in the download . . . cute, cute. 

I got to play with many of the wonderful new Stampin' Up! products in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  Download Holiday Mini Here or email me your address for a free copy.  The rub-ons make card making a breeze (crisp and so easy to place) . . . watch for details a 20% off Stampin' Up! Rub-Ons Promotion beginning November 10.

Using a 6 x 11 piece of card stock, score  at 1" the long way on either side.

 

Flip the card stock ninety degrees and score the short way at 1", 5", 6" and 10" (moving left to right).

Cut tabs as shown or per the red lines in the tutorial download and adhere.  Voilá!  Le Box :)

How fabulous!! I love that ribbon and I just need to break down and buy it!!

[Sandy Grupka]

Love the box. Wouldn't one of those gummie pizza candies look cute in that? You know I'm going to try it. I forgot to order that ribbon, I need to get it next order. The ribbon completes the delivery. Glad you're back to posting, I hope you're feeling better.

I LOVE this tutorial. Thanks! Can this be done since I don't have a scor pal? Just curious. I hope so. I love this box.

Love it!!! the paper you used is perfect and the rub-ons are just right. I have been wanting a Scor-Pal for months now and I think I'm getting it for Christmas, otherwise I'd order it ASAP. LOL

Glad you're feeling better, Mary!
