I have been trying to make a bunch of cards for my Mom, ones that require no extra postage, so she can mail them easily.....no trips to the Post Office and hand stamping, IYKWIM? Soooo, the next idea was to make her a cute little box to hold all of the cards in. I perused the 'interwebs' and found an easy to follow tutorial HERE, at Pink Buckaroo's Blog.
This will be entered into the Challenge at Scor Pal, Hearts A Flutter.
The score lines for the box are at:
card stock 11 x 7 inches, 1/2" 3" 8" 10.5"
card stock 7 x 6 inches, 1/2" 3" turn 90 degrees score again at 1/2" 5.5"
My card holder box isn't fancy or overly adorned, but it certainly gets the job done.
I used many Gina K Designs stamps for the dividers, Basket Additions, Lots Of Thanks, Make A Statement, Stamper's Favorites, and Up And Away. Spellbinder's Hearts, Classic and Scalloped Circle dies. Glitter dotted ribbon.
