Thoroughly Modern File Folder Fantasy Box

Look! A Box - I've been wanting to make one of these for a looooooong time. I think they are called "Fantasy Boxes". This box is made using the Thoroughly Modern File Folders - the folders are quite sturdy and thick - perfect for this project. Project finished size is 4" x 4" x 4". There are enough file folders to make a few of these boxes.

The lid: the only place card stock was used is stamping the flower in Whisper White, Rose Red, and Soft Sued. The Sahara Sand shown under the punched flower is from the file folder scrap. The center of the flower is also a scrap from the file folder, punched using the 1/2" Circle Punch, placed onto Build -a brad. Looks great popped with dimensionals.

Remove the lid to reveal the 1st layer in Sahara Sand CS. I Heart List is stamped on index cards (which were cut down to 3-3/4" x 3-3/4") wrap the index cards with scrap file folder strip, a Mini Library Clip and a punched Heart)

Continue to open up the box to reveal the other trays: "Things" to Buy", Rubber Bands, and Claw Clips. On the sides of each tray are stamps words: I {Heart} Lists, Things to buy, Odds and Ends, Etc. - all of these are stamped using Staz-On Black ink on File Folder Scraps, then punched out using the Modern Label Punch, adhered to the tray using snail adhesive.
