This digital die cut template makes it easy to create your own cardstock box card, you can follow these instructions to create any of my a2 size box cards. You will need the following supplies to create this project:

  • Digital Die cutting machine (I’ve used my Silhouette Cameo, this file is also Portrait compatible)

STEP 4

To create the gift card pocket insert, begin by folding in the side tabs and add adhesive. Fold up the gift card pocket flap. Fold the side tabs in opposite direction. Add adhesive to the tabs, on the side where it will adhere to the inside of the box. Insert gift card pocket into the box card, the right side tab should adhere to the front of the right side of the box. The left side tab should adhere to the center of the left side of the box.

STEP 5

Fold the side tabs of the other insert in the same manner as the gift card pocket. Insert into the box in a similar manner, however, the left side tabs should line up with the back of the box and the right side tabs should be placed in the center of the box. Fold the box closed to be sure the tabs are adhered in the proper place, adjust as necessary. Open up the box and placed the decorative paper accents on the flaps of the box.

STEP 6

Assemble the accents as shown, placing the gift bows on the presents, the string on the balloon and the word art on the tag. Place the balloon on the back panel of the box, with it overhanging the right side. Be sure that the card is able to close. Adhere the bottom edge of the presents to the back of the inserts, placing the taller present at an angle to the left on the back insert and the shorter one at an angle to the right on the gift card pocket. Add the tag to the present. Adjust to fit, making sure the present accents don’t go beyond the box card edges or the card won’t fit in the envelope.
