1.  Cut out cards and fold in half.
2. Visit the generic Paper Minis™ Envelope Photo Tutorial to make perfect fit envelopes.
3. Take box base, fold in half and paint glue to blank surface. Press flat and put under something heavy and flat to keep flat while it is drying.
4. Fold box top and bottom at natural points. Review the photo for guidance.
5. Cut out window hole.
6. Paint glue to colored sides of the top and bottoms tabs. Press against the blank box surface of the respective side.
