Usually I am caught short, with no idea what to make until the last minute (or, occasionally, the next day), however I am so proud of myself for finding this idea and running with it.
Here's my take on the project. I found the measurements given in the original post didn't really work, so made the width of the little boxes much smaller - my starting piece was 11cm x 19cm, or 4-5/8" x 7-1/2". I put the 11cm side against the top of my Simply Scored Tool and scored at 1", then flipped the sheet 180 degrees and scored at 1" again. Then I turned it 90 degrees and scored at 3-1/4" amd 4-1/4" and continued on with the original instructions.
(I must insert an apology here for the imperial or metric purist - I have no problem switching between the two, and a lot of the things I find on the net that I want to try are from the US and as such are in imperial measurements. My guillotine has only centimetres, but of course the base Simply Scored Tool is in inches. I find it's just a case of being flexible and finding what works).
The tag portion of each box has been put through the Lacy Brocade embossing folder, in a (vain, as it turns out) attempt to hide the score on the tag (which is designed to fold in half as a cute little tag/card combo). I used the score line to ensure the strips of Designer Series Paper were straight instead - this worked a treat :-)
And they're filled with Lindt balls ... yummmmm ... lucky there was a few left over from the big bag I bought :-) I just have to make sure I hide them from the family...
