A2 Card Gift Box Tutorial

[@galaxysuperluminal]

This is the best tutorial on how to make a box which will hold greeting cards to be given as a gift. I've watched many different videos and this video by The Paper Pixie provides the best instructions along with exact measurements. Thank you so much for posting this :-)

[@ThePaperPixie]

Thank you so much!

Your tutorial about making an A2 card gift box is just fabulous. I scanned all the KZbin channels and tried four different ones before I came upon yours. No contest. No doubt about it. Your method, your ideas, your finesse, and your great teaching ability are far above every other video I watched. You are an amazing teacher! I can't thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial on how to make boxes. My first one came out looking so professional. I was so pleased. Thank you ❤️

[@ThePaperPixie]

Wow - thank you SO much, Sharon! Your comment made my day! I'm honored to inspire you!

[@jessicaeiss2541]

This has been one of the clearest and most concise videos and I do like the double reinforced. Thank you!

[@beckykearns1296]

I know this video is over a year old but I just saw it 😊 Thank you so much for making this easy to follow and easy to make! This is the best video I’ve seen for a box yet!

[@dianesperry7104]

Finally, I found someone that is showing the right size box I needed to place a set of A2 cards as a gift. This is awesome I love what you created !!!!!

[@sueshea8204]

really pretty boxes. also, tweezer for bow = BEST TIP EVER! thank you!

[@rosemarieschmidt2423]

Julie this box is PERFECT, just the size I needed for the vintage cross gift I made it for. Thank you for the wonderful tip. I will make it again for A2 cards too! You are amazing and very kind.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Yay! So happy to hear this box will work for you! ❤️

[@lindamoore9729]

I spent over an hour looking at a few directions, and was about to give up hope; good thing I didn't because I got to your video and it's exactly what I was looking for, with such great instructions. Thank you!

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

I made a tiny journal of watercolor paintings and wanted a box for it. This size was great. Now that I’ve done one, I might be able to customize but I’m delighted with the box I made. The instructions are so clear and easy to follow! Thank you.

[@margaretberry5124]

Perfect and easy. Thxs bunches ⚜️

[@cathihester6513]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I have been hired to create boxed sets for a cancer care centre and I needed a box to hold 6 cards. Thanks you for the perfect box. Stay safe. Love from 🇨🇦

[@kellyhitz150]

I have been looking for just this box. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. I’m so glad I found you.

[@bonnieporter9475]

Instructions are very easy to follow. The finished box is perfect for gifts.

[@janicewhite5707]

BEAUTIFUL

[@tonilea1212]

oh my goodness! I was at a craft show this AM and saw a SU dealer there. (I don' t know her, but she had some gorgeous cards for sale as well as a lot of treat bags, boxes and other items) I asked if she had a box for A2 cards because I have made sets of cards for my friend, my neighbor and my girls. She didn't so I was thinking I would just add a ribbon to a stack of cards but on a whim I thought maybe you would have an easy box that I could make. This is perfect! Thank you ever so much! I just figured it would be too hard but I think I can do this. I shall have to "act as if" and be like the little engine that could! LOL Thanks again!

[@valeriematthews3245]

Excellent instructions! Thank you for making it so easy.

[@lizdvine2548]

Beaytiful box, beautifully displayed n explained. Thank you!

[@leighrose8501]

[@angieadwin8515]

This tutorial is so clear. Thank you. I plan to make card sets for gifts. I'll be using this for a great box.

[@adorableadornments1101]

Thank you, this is just what I was looking for. Beautiful!

[@carolynmanning76]

Beautiful boxes thanks for sharing. I’m not a fan of the reversible tweezers but useful for tying bows so I might get one...

[@carolynmanning76]

Hit wrong key again, want to say thanks for tip on tweezers. Stay safe.

[@inkyfeet12]

Coming over from your Double Flip Top Box video -- like both box sizes and box styles.

[@sandrariehl7483]

[@DelightfulScrapbookn]

Very pretty cards and box set! Cee

[@dimaco7356]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. Would happen to have a tutorial for an A7 card gift box?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Thank you so much! No, I don't have one for A7 as I've not made that size card before!

[@estellebusby5369]

Beautiful 🥰🥰🙋🏽‍♀️🇳🇱🌷

[@dawngraham2402]

Beautiful! What is the weight of the card stock? Thank you for sharing.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Our cardstock is 80-90lb cover weight.

[@annsimpson9494]

I’m new to your channel. Very clear instructions. I was looking for a gift box for a2 cards.

[@jeanniewolfe8459]

Love this, great video! Do you have the measurements for a box to fit 10-12 cards?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Jeannie! No, not with this style box with the reinforced sides, because at some point the measurements will exceed the cardstock width.

[@a.moushinparveen457]

Vera level ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindafielder8344]

Is the template printable? Love the box, it looks nice and sturdy.

[@ThePaperPixie]

If you right-click on the template and open in a new window, you can print it! Just know it’s for reference and not to scale ❤️

[@lindafielder8344]

@@ThePaperPixie Thank you sooo much. Trusting that you are doing OK during this difficult time. Take care.

[@slr559]

I have made this many times and the lid is always too big. Can you help?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Leigh! Be sure to double-check your scoring measurements for the lid. When you say too big, how much too big?

[@hudsonfrank1121]

I've attempted to make a few boxes following these directions. not one came out perfect. I followed directions exactly and even had a scoring template like the one in the vid. Please provide a printable template. Thank you.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Hudson! At the bottom of my detailed blog post where the sharing buttons are there is a print button. Please note that my templates will not print to scale - they are for reference only. The measurements are correct, so if you are still having difficulty, then cut your box lid to 7-1/8 x 8-1/2. It will be a little loose, however, so that’s why I said just a hair under those measurements.

[@maria21797]

@@ThePaperPixie This lid measurement worked better for me. Thank you!

[@nursejan5057]

this doesn't hold my envelopes. I made A2 size envelopes with my envelope punch board but they are too wide.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Jan! I'm sorry your envelopes made with the EPB don't fit! This box was designed to fit Stampin' Up!'s A2 envelopes, which are standard size for ready-made envelopes. What is the finished size of your envelopes created with the EPB?

[@nursejan5057]

@@ThePaperPixie thanks for the response. I actually just adjusted the paper dimensions and made another that worked.

[@nursejan5057]

@@ThePaperPixie also, I LOVE your videos! Keep being awesome 😊

[@carinasundqvist9425]

Can you pls do it in cm 🙏🏻

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Carina! Since I'm in the US, I only use Imperial measurements. I recommend using a conversion app like "Units Plus" to convert the measurements to Metric.
