Bloggers Challenge - Color Combo

This week's Bloggers Challenge is to use Black, White, and any other color....well I cheated a little bit.  I had something entirely different in mind, but then I stopped at Joann's today.  Found a pair of grey and pink striped gloves, and immediately thought of my friend Melaine.  She wears gloves all the time - she's skinny and always cold...I don't have that problem.  :)

Anyway, they were perfect for her, so I changed my plans.  Made this Box Card out of 12x12 cardstock, and a lid.  I've made so many of these, that I don't need a pattern any more - here's some very basic instructions.

For the Card Box:  Score 12" x 12" at 4" on each side.  Cut off the corners (so it looks like a Stop Sign shape).  Score those corner pieces (what's left of them), and fold in.  They just hang out inside the box...you don't want to tack them down since this is a "Box Card".  You want to be able to open the box, and write in the middle of it.

For the Lid:  Cut cardstock approximately 6 3/16" (that's one mark on your 12" cutter, plus half of another mark) - square.  Score each side in at 1". 

Embellish as you see fit!  I like to make a little square on the very inside, and write on that.
