Here is another example of the A2 box and a second box that is large enough to hold a Cascading Card or Card-in-a-Box with lots of embellishments!
Steps to create the adjusted Notecard Box to hold 4 A2 cards and envelopes
Photos of each step and more detailed instructions are available with the link at the end of these instructions!
Step one--Cut a 12 inch x 7 1/2 inch piece of heavy card stock.
Step two--With longest edge along the top of a scoring board; score at 2 1/2 inches, 3 5/8 inches, 8 3/8 inches, 9 1/2 inches. Measurements must be accurate!! Tip: Make all score marks on the 'wrong' side of paper. This will help to create a box with the desired side on the outside.
Step three--Rotate the paper 90 degrees; score at 1-inch mark on left side (bottom of box), score at 1/2-inch at the right side (top of box). The 1/2-inch score is an extra step that I added.
Step four--(extra step) Place a 1/2-inch wide strip of double-sided adhesive along the scored 1/2-inch edge. Fold over to form a smooth edge.
Step five--Cut along short score lines from bottom edge stopping at 1-inch score line. Turn paper to the outside and place a piece of double-sided tape on each of the flaps that were formed.
Step six--on the outside of the paper, place a 1/8-inch strip of double-sided adhesive along the scored 7 1/2-inch edge. This is used to seal the back of the box.
Step seven--fold box, securing the bottom with double-sided adhesive. Secure the back edge.
Step eight--Decorate the box as desire.
