1/2 sheet fold flat box using July 2025 Online Exclusives

 Hello again.  I'm so glad you are here.  For today's project, I'm continuing my fold-flat box series, this time, I've redesigned the box to fit on a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.  I love maximizing my paper, so I usually try to make boxes sized to make two from a single sheet of cardstock.  I've used some of the newly released July Online Exclusives for my box today.  I also showed a Halloween version in my video tutorial.  Be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube  channel.

I hope you are inspired to make some of these fold-flat boxes.  Please share with me and my crafting community over on my Facebook group page, KnT Designs Stampers Group Social.  I would love to see what you make and I know my crafty friends would too.  In addition, please share what you found to fit inside.  

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
