Hand made cards, hand made gift box

I love making cards but quite often I seem to end up making more cards than I have occassions to send cards for. 

I do find however that a set of handmade cards make a perfect little gift, especially when packaged in a matching handmade box too and this box has always gone down well.

I've designed this box to take UK A6 cards ( A4 cut in half and then folded) plus corresponding envelopes but I believe it also fits US A2 cards perfectly too.

I hope you enjoy this video - it does drag a little at the end due to my forgetfulness - sorry about that.
