Check out this CUTE SPOOKY BOX!
I used the 
 
I used some of these stickers in this scrapbooking kit to decorate my box lid,
along with a 4 3/4 x 5 3/4" pieces of this stripped DSP.
How did I do it?
 The finished box measures- 5 x 6".  
Here is the patterns I used to make the box bottom & top.
Box Top= 7 x 8"- score at 1" on all 4 sides.
Box Bottom= 7 x 8"- score at 1 1/16" on all 4 sides.
