I made this beautiful gift box which holds 5 simple cards and envelopes using the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and Flowering Tulips Stamp Set.
I used one of the Acetate Card Boxes for the card holder. These are retiring with the new catalog coming out and they are a great deal. You get 10 for $7.00(US).
Watch the video to see how to make all the cards and the belly band for the card holder.
Each card has a coordinating decorated envelope. This is an easy way to dress up your card. This designer series paper works perfectly for a nice set of cards with envelopes.
