I copied and pasted this directly from my stamp camp directions. Hope this helps:
2-4-6-8 Box:
If you want to make two of the small boxes, follow these directions. If you want to make one large box, score your cardstock at the dimentions immediately following these directions.
1. Cut a sheet of cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". (Put paper in landscape position and cut in half.)
2. Wheel sheet as desired. There are 6 different wheels for you to chose from.
3. Using paper cutter with the black scoring blade, score at 2", 4", 6" and 8" along the 8 1/2" length side of cardstock piece. You will have a 1/2" section left over.
4. Turn cardstock piece 90 degrees, and score entire length of cardstock at the 2" mark. (Your scoring blade will travel 8-1/2" down. The 5 1/2" side of cardstock piece will be against the bottom lip of your paper cutter).
5. Look at your scored cardstock piece. Take scissors and trim off the 2" x 1/2" section (not the 3 1/2" x 1/2" section). *Note: The 3 1/2" x 2" sections are the box top and the 2" x 2" sections are the box bottom.
6. Cut each 2" score mark along the 8 1/2" side. (You will be making three straight cuts, each along the 2" score marks). Do not cut beyond the long score mark running the length of the 8 1/2" side.
7. Fold along all score marks.
8. Place a section of sticky strip tape along the 3 1/2" x 1/2" flap on the decorated/stamped side.
9. Fold up the four 2" x 2" pieces; this is the bottom of your box. Use a sticky strip on the last 2" x 2" piece to seal the bottom of the box.
10. You will be forming the top of the box similar to a milk carton: Look at your box and find the side that looks best for your front. This front section and the back section of your box will remain flat. You will be 'denting' in the two SIDES of the box until you can pinch the top of the box flat. This is easier to do if you notch the sides with a triagle before flattening.
11. Punch holes in the center top of the box, thread the white organdy and natural hemp through the holes and tie. Medium Box
(uses an entire 8.5x11 cardstock)
Score long side at 2 5/8...5 1/4...7 7/8...10 1/2.
Score short side at 2 5/8. Follow rest of directions as above.
Thank you so much for the immediate answer!! I'll go make one right now. I love the Santa that someone made on the gallery with that box, going to try it now! L
FWIW,when I do these boxes, I score on the 1 inch mark instead of two along the length of the box, makes for a larger box, and the sides fold nicely over the bottom, and go to the middle of the bottom.

FWIW, I like to score my bottom at 1 inch instead of 2, makes for a deeper box. You score the other lines the same (2,4,6, and but on the 2 inch score she talks about doing first you score it at 1 inch instead. you do not have near the amount of overlap, but the box is still plenty sturdy without the additional overlap.
