Creating a Box Card without a Box Card Die Set

I love box cards. That should be pretty obvious. I've made quite a few with my Cameo. I also love stitched lines that you get with dies. The Cameo stitch lines are barely noticeable by comparison. I looked at box card die sets, but they were pretty pricey, and with my husband's health issues, it just wasn't an expense that I could justify right now. I have all of the Queen & Co. card making Foundation dies sets, though, and as I was looking at them, I got the idea to use them to make a box card that would have stitch lines.  I posted the card earlier both here and on the Queen & Co. Facebook Royalty page. Someone there asked me to give a link to "the tutorial."  At the time, the tutorial was in my head, and nowhere online as far as I knew. I said that I would try to make a tutorial when I had time. I've taught a lot of classes, but I've never made a video, so it was a learning process. It's not perfect, but it turned out fairly well, and it will teach you a few new things if you choose to watch it. If you don't have the Queen & Co. dies, you can probably use other, similar dies, that you already have on hand. Here is the link:

And here is a reminder of what the box card looked like, that I made exclusively using Queen & Co. dies:
