Retail Therapy ~ Paper Playtime Challenge #8

Good morning, my friends.  Well, the weekend is over and it is time to start another week.....boo!!!  But the good news is that it is also a Monday where there is a new challenge at the Paper Playtime blog.  Our challenge for the next two weeks is "Use More Than 1 Fold".  Now this could be on a card, an embellishment for a scrapbooking layout or a mini album just to name a few ~ anything that incorporates more than just the traditional fold.  If you follow my blog, you know that I posted a card the other day (HERE) also with more than one fold.  And, yet again, I have tried something new ~ a box card.  This would be perfect to place a gift card to a store in for a birthday girl :) The original tutorial I watched to create this card may be found HERE and can I tell you I had some pretty wonky looking boxes to start with.  I found that the secret is to making the diagonal score lines correctly.  I also do not have the diagonal scoring adapter so check out THIS VIDEO to see how to do the folds.  And, voila:
