This cute little box was so simple and fun to make I thought I would share a tutorial so you could make one too. I made it using the Petite Pocket die with a few alterations.

Start by die cutting one piece of card stock with the Petite Pocket die. With my Big Shot, I needed to use one shim so the "sandwich" was an extended cutting pad, a shim, the die cut, one piece of card stock and the extended premium crease pad.

Place the die cut on the Simply Scored Scoring tool so that the more defined score marks are facing UP and the narrow edge with the small half circle cut out is to the TOP of the Simply Scored Scoring tool (or you can use a paper cutter with a scoring blade). Score from the top to the bottom at the 7/8" and 2 1/4" marks.

Place the long edge of the die cut to the top so that the half circle cut out is now at the left edge of the scoring tool and score at 2 1/4" and 6 1/2".
Don't crease the folds just yet!

I apologize that this photo isn't as clear as I hoped it would be but hopefully you can see the pencil lines. There are two sections at the far left that are marked with an "x". You are going to cut that portion away. Then there are 3 additional pencil marks along the top and three along the bottom. You are going to clip there with scissors but you are NOT cutting the portion away. Refer to the next image for clarification.

In this view, you are looking at the outside of the box.
Use a bone folder to emphasize the score marks you made with the Scoring Tool.
Place Sticky Strip on the sections highlighted in the image to the left.
In this view, you are looking at what will become the inside of the box. (The Sticky Strip is on the other side of the card stock.) Alter the die cut so that it looks like the image to the left.
Peel the two smallest sections of Sticky Strip away. Begin to form the box by bending up the section to the far right to a 90 degree angle.
Peel the two largest sections of Sticky Strip away and continue to fold the section to the right up to form the box.

Cut a strip of Designer Series Paper measuring 1/4" x 5 1/4" and wrap it around the box so that the front flap can be tucked inside the Designer Series Paper to hold closed. (The small flaps will tuck inside the box.) Cut a 16" piece of ribbon and wrap around the box on top of the Designer Series Paper. Embellish the box as desired.
This box is the perfect size for a small Twix candy bar, two mini Milky Ways, a tube of lipstick or chapstick. Here are the items I used to make this adorable box:
