Card Storage Box – Made from Chipboard

Card Storage Box - Made from Chipboard

I have a card storage box to share with you today. This storage box is extra sturdy as it is made from chipboard as opposed to cardstock. This means it will last longer and can hold lots more. This box is also perfect to store your stickers, embossing folders and if you widen it even your dies!!!

The box is held together with 1-inch binding strips of cardstock. They act as bias binding, holding all the pieces together. I have put strips on the inside and outside of the box for extra stability. The chipboard is black so doesn’t need to be wrapped or covered in additional cardstock. I purchased the chipboard online.

The box is decorated using the Toile and Tidings Designer Series Paper. This paper is real red on one side and garden green on the other. The background colour is actually Very Vanilla and not Whisper White. This gives the paper a great vintage feel

My initial sample had slope sides above but when I filmed the video I forgot to angle my sides and so they ended up straight. Which do you prefer? let me know in the comments below.

I am really enjoying making projects with chipboard and have many more ideas in the pipeline. Sometimes I think we can get bored of cardmaking. It is good to expand our creativeness and take ourselves out of our comfort zone.

Other Projects

The video is quite long but this project does take longer to make than a card. Some parts of the video have been sped up but you can slow them down again on YouTube if you want to see it in real-time. The supply list is below as always.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you liked this project as much as I enjoyed making it. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
