3 3/4 X 3 3/4 Notecards & Box

So, I made this notecard box and the cards that go with them before I left for Maine and just didn't get around to posting them. That being said, I DID NOT come up with this idea and/or template. However, for the life of me, I can't remember where I found it; it was on someone's blog and I apologize for not writing it down. If you recognize this as your own, let me know and I will give you the proper credit.



I made a total of 6 sets and used paper from a Glitterstack I bought at Michael's for the DP. I personalized them by adding the initials of the person I was giving them to and used my MARVY jumbo circle and MEGA scalloped circle to make them a little fancier. The handles are made from the piece of paper that was leftover when I cut the CS required for the box. I attached them using a gemstone brad that I found at the Dollarama (25 for $1 - what a steal)!!



These are the cards that are inside the box. There are 10 in total, 2 of each of the following: happy birthday, best wishes, especially for you, thinking of you & thank you. All the sentiments are from Stamping Bella. I decided not to include envelopes for 2 reasons: a) the wouldn't fit in the box (lol) and b) I figured they could be attached to or put into a gift bag in which case they weren't entirely needed. I added score lines to fancy up the cards and imagine that it would be 10 times easier now that I have a Scor-Pal, those lines took forever using my Fiskars cutter).



Hugs & Happy Stamping -
