Frequently asked questions

How big is the assembled box?

About 4" tall at default size — fits a small handful of candies or a stack of cookies. Resize for larger gifts.

Do I really need to score?

Yes — folded cardstock without scoring looks creased and uneven. A scoring stylus makes the difference between "homemade" and "handmade."

Can I cut from patterned paper?

Yes, just keep the patterns simple — the roof and house detail layers add their own visual interest.
