My son graduated this spring and I was looking for ideas for card boxes on pinterest. There were several that caught my eye and then I stumbled across a Tardis card box. I decided to take pictures along the creation process to share with any other Dr. Who fans that might fancy creating one of their own. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to make it bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Please enjoy my CARDIS (Cards and related documents in slot)
