One of my friends at work brings me a card for all the special holidays, and I wanted to show her my appreciation. What came together was a nice assortment of coordinating "gift" cards made to fit in a wooden gift box. The box lid and four sides are decorated with matching paper...so sheik. The top opens with a hinged lid!
Each card is about a four inch square to fit easily in the box. A variety of matching paper and embellishments are from one tablet of printed paper with pop-out tags and lettering. WOW, designing is really fun with so many choices! Just add a few accessories like ribbon and brads.

Designing with a few punches jazzed things up. A flower petal punch and multiple prints nicely blended the overall effects. I also tested out my new Spellbinders die cut Pendants design. That was fantastic!
                                                                                                                                                                 Edges can be fancied up with an edging punch. I used a couple varieties.
Now, putting all 12 together makes a wonderful "Thank you so much for thinking of me" gift! 
Accessories: Spellbinders Pendants die, punches: large flower, picture corners, label, edge. Colorbok earth tones patterned paper/stickers, ribbon, brads, "friends" stamp, box for cards.
