We just completed the box bottom and now we're going to start on the box top. Again, you're
having your 12x12 piece of designer series paper and we're going to cut it down. I take
off my scoring blade so I can use the full length of the cutter. This time, I'm going
to cut my cardstock to 11 1/2 x 11 1/2. The cool thing about this box is you can make
it any size you want. You just want to make sure that your box bottom and your box top
are always a half an inch difference in diameter, the top being larger. You can alter this to
be smaller than the one I'm making. We've gone ahead and we've cut our box top now to
11 1/2 x 11 1/2. I'm switching back now to my scoring blade and I'm going to score this
time at 5 3/4, turn my paper at 90 degrees, and score again at 5 3/4. The thing to be
careful here, I don't know if you can tell, but I'm scoring a little bit lighter. When
you're using designer series paper, it's a little thinner than your cardstock, so you
want to score a little bit lighter so you do not cut through your paper. Now we're getting
ready to go on to the next folding.
