I love to use index cards to jot notes on. I'd rather have them than just about any other paper...seems they don't get lost as easily for me. I made a pretty box for them to match my PD Personal Kleenex box I made last week. It sure looks better than the generic blue an navy box they came in! This my first box share, so there you go.
Placement of Paper and Cut File: You need a 12X12 inch page for index card size, and you need to leave the cut file diagonal across the virtual cutting mat to make it large enough.
Assembly: Where the flaps overlap in the center of the bottom of the box (one flap in, one flap out), I snipped off a bit of paper between the two so that they didn't hug so tight! They seemed to need a little wiggle room. I glued the end large flaps, but none of the small ones. I'm really not sure how they go...I just tucked them all inside the box, unseen. EASY.
Scoring: I have added a file with score lines for reference. I recommend removing them for cutting.
