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

Pop up gift card treat box

Ok so November for me means we can really start with the Christmas crafting and preparation.

I think handmade will be even more important this year as shopping can be hard work during a pandemic.

Here is one quick and easy idea you can create this year. Not only having fun with supplies but also taking the headache out of Christmas shopping ... gift cards mean they can do their own shopping .. genius !!

Wrap the box simply with a piece of your favourite Christmas paper, I used Heart warming hugs from Stampin' Up!, a small amount of ribbon and a fun stamped sentiment and voila !!
