I am 66 and this looks like something I could make to sell at the flee market to help me pay some bills
-
These are wonderful-thank you! 🎀
-
I love these ideas. I think an acetate cover would be nice to slide over the first one too.
-
I am so not ready for Christmas.. I want to hang on to summer as long as I can…. Maybe, September LOL. Great! Thank you for all you do!
-
Thank you for sharing these 3 options for packaging. All great ideas.
-
I'm inspired to "gift" some cards! Thank you Maymay!
-
Great boxes. Add a handle to the second box and it would be a purse box as another option. 😉
-
Thank you for showing these! So practical and pretty
-
That is a nice box for the cards! Shannon, thank you for drawing the pattern for the cut-out! 😊

Thank you Shannon. So much easier to see. Such an Angel.

I'm always looking for ways to package up sets of cards...3 in 1 video is awesome!!! Thanks!

Love boxes! Thanks for these ideas.

So nifty! And I'm amazed how little paper is needed to make these types of boxes.
-
I just love how well you show and explain what you are doing! Makes such a difference! Thank you!

Thanks Maymay for the PDF file , it helps me a lot ! I watch your video first and then have a go but there is so much going on that the PDF file on the side is a great reminder of all those measurements you have to follow ! Greatly appreciated. ❤

Thank you for such great ideas! After years of working with fabric and yarn crafts, I’m intrigued with paper products. Your videos are so clear and I could listen to you all day!
-
I love the last box it’s so cute love the magnetic closures

I can see using the first "box" to hold loose note paper. The book style is very cute. Actually, I like all 3 of them. Thanks for sharing!
