Gift Card Set

It was a pleasant surprise when I received several requests this past Christmas for handmade card gift sets. I made several and just absolutely love how this set turned out so though I'd share it.

You may have guessed it, I recycled a tissue box again. This woodland scene box is a Royale box (you can see it on their website here) and has been tucked away in my stash for some time just waiting for the right project.

Believe it or not, all eight cards were made from the one box, and it's not a very big one. I did use every square inch of it though.

Most of the cards are fairly straight forward so I won't be listing full instructions for these, but there are supply list under each image. Also, I used some Diamond Sparkles by PSX on most of them. Usually on the trees, sometimes on the bird image. It doesn't show up as well as I had hoped in the photo's but you can see a little copper/gold shimmer here and there.
