Fold out Stationary Box

I've seen these on Split Coast Stampers by the dozen, but they looked a bit complicated to make.  After finding a tutorial on how to make them (on Split Coast as well --- though I love their tutorials this one had me overwhelmed because it has so many details), I remained firm in my opinion that it was too much work! THEN I found another tutorial -- this one with LOTS of pictures, and decided to give it a whirl.  I'm glad I did for two reasons -- Reason #1 It turns out beautiful... Reason #2 It's not as hard as it looks.  Here's the link to the pictorial tutorial --- I must add that there is one mistake in her measurements.  When you get to PART B Stationary Box Shelves- STEP 1 She says to cut out a piece of cardstock 8.5 inches by 4.25 inches.    I did this and found it to be too big for the box.  The actual measurement is 8 inches by 4.25 inches.  Otherwise I found the tutorial to be wonderful and easy to follow.

Here are the pics of the one I finally completed!
