Today’s project is a 3 x 3 card gift box to hold 12 mini cards and 12 envelopes!
I shared the card pictured above in yesterday’s post, if you’d like the project details.
Here’s how the cards and envelopes fit inside:
Here’s what the box and lid look like empty:
And here are two different versions by just changing the paper pattern:
How fun is that?!? What a great gift for someone – especially filled with Valentines this time of year! Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

No dementions for making envelopes
Hi Cathey! That’s because I didn’t make the envelopes- they are available from Stampin’ Up! and listed in my project supply list. ❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! There is one abbreviation I didn’t understand! What does Dinoroar Dsp mean? Also, did you make the 3×3 cards/envelopes or are they from the catalog? I haven’t seen a catalog for years.
Thanks,

Hi Sandy! DSP stands for Designer Series Paper – it’s our patterned paper – and the name of the one I used on this project is called Dinoroar. I made the 3×3 cards, but the ready-made envelopes can be purchased through my online store! Let me know if you’d like me to send you a catalog!
Hey Julie, I was looking at the written measurements and for the box base for the scoring, you say 9.5 to score but in your written instructions it says 9. I haven’t made mine yet so thought you might want to know there is a discrepancy.
I love that you do 3-D projects and show the template. Makes it so much easier for me to duplicate.
Thanks for all you do.
Hi Nola! Thank you so much – good catch! I’ve updated the measurements!
Julie-I love your boxes & really like your videos! You make the instructions easy for the beginner, the seasoned box maker & everyone in between. Thanks so much for sharing! As a fellow SU Demonstrator, your boxes help me gift fun surprises to my Customers
Thank you so much, Lynda! I’m honored to inspire you!
Do you have a video that shows how to make the cards and envelopes for this
Hi Debra! The envelopes are ready-made and available for purchase from Stampin’ Up!. I don’t have a video for the cards, but here’s my blog post which details the measurements and supplies I used: https://thepaperpixie.com/2020/01/dino-days-mini-card.html
This answered my question on the card blog. Thank you!! 🙂
