LARGE luxury C6 card box

Today I am sharing my specific measurements for a box I created to hold a set of Christmas cards I have made. I wanted a co-ordinating box and the measurements had to fit my needs. I got out my ruler and put my thinking cap on and ..voila.

So the box could be used for any reason but it holds 8 - 10 C6 size cards and envelopes with ease. By using the same Heart warming hugs paper as the cards we end up with a fantastic gift set of stunning cards.

Super simple to make but I do have a full step by step YouTube tutorial for you to follow and I will leave all measurements below to make it easy for you to recreate one for yourself.

Have fun creating xxx Amanda

Hand stamped box using NEW Butterfly gala bundle.

So today marks the start of my sharing the new products with you due out in January. One of my absolute favourite is the Butterfly Gala bundle.. a stunning stamp set with a co-ordinating punch. Yayy for beautiful butterflies and hurray for punches, a winning combo for me.

At a recent team retreat I held with some of my team, one of my ladies the lovely Karen Egan had hand stamped a box with this set and I was so impressed with it I decided to give it a try. My box is a totaly different shape and size but I was inspired by her to do a hand stamped background. The colours are so juicy and fresh .... it is realy making me look forward to summer with these sunshine colours !

Now my box was made to hold a special something...if you watch my video you will see what it is. But you could use this box for lots and lots of things. When assembled it measures 4 x 3 x 2" so a great size.

I can see me using this set an awful lot I havent put it down in three days Im fully in love. As I say these are available from january 3rd to customers. If you need a catalogue go to my catalogue request page above and fill the form. I have left you the measurements for this simple box and here is the set by step video tutorial. So go grab a brew, get comfy and warm and enjoy.

Happy stamping xxx Amanda
