Does anyone have any suggestions for styling a simple box to contain the elements for this page?

http://codepen.io/JustinAHenderson/pen/WbqPEw This is a link to the Codepen. I know how to create a simple box layout, but wanted to get some more creative ideas that I haven't considered already? Thanks!

Which box needs styling exactly? I am a little confused on your question

It's pretty basic actually. I just wanted to create a box around the text with a little shadow effect.

I'd recommend using CSS3 box shadow to accomplish that. You can play with it here: http://www.cssmatic.com/box-shadow

This will allow you to manipulate colors and shadow opacity all while viewing the syntax so you can learn from it in the process.

Perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for.
