You guys asked for this tutorial and I hope you find it easy to follow and answers your questions. This project has been made a good bit on youtube and blogs so you may want to do a search around to see other inspiration for the box as well.
There are lots of cuts and measurements. I am going to list them here as simply as I can. If you make this project like eating an elephant (one bite at a time, lol) you will be successful.

To make assembly and decorator card stock placing easier I made myself a "template box." I just used some simple card stock and created the project so that I could use it for reference and write my mat measures directly on the template. I feel that will make future projects easier, especially since I plan to make these as Christmas gifts, it will give me a quick reference.
