A perfect gift using handmade cards

 
I love the Gift Bow die for the Big Shot! My favorite bow mixes designer paper with card stock, topped with an embellishment.
 
 

At my American Ink retreat a couple of months ago, one of my downline - Frankie - showed us how to make a cute card holder using only one piece of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock. Mine uses Strawberry Slush card stock with a couple scraps of Polka Dot Parade designer paper and some Rich Razzleberry card stock with an In Color Boutique Details embellishment (item 130938, $8.95 for 20 pieces).


Edited to add: Here's a link to a full photo tutorial on how to make this box!

The card box easily holds 6 cards and envelopes, and there's room for a tag to hang from the Gift Bow (a Big Shot die - item 129977, $32.95 in the Holiday Catalog). Who wouldn't love to receive a gift like this? If you make cards like I do, you have plenty sitting around to fill all kinds of card boxes!
