Cards with matching gift box

I have been asked to place some of my cards at a local historical museum in a town close to me.  The woman wanted them in a nice gift box to make them more appealing to the visitors.   I wanted them to get an idea of what the cards inside looked like by putting a simple version of the card on the top of the box.  Here is what I came up with for some of the sets.

Side of the box

Front of the box - not the full card design, but just  enough to decorate the lid

Cards inside the box









This is a nice way to package a set of cards and would make a nice gift.  To make the box here are the dimensions:

For the lid:  Card Stock measures 7 7/8" x 6 5/8" and you score at 1" on all sides.  Cut your corners up to your score lines, fold in the flap and adhere your sides using Sticky Strip.

For the box:  Card Stock measures 8 3/4" x 7 1/2" and you score at 1 1/2" on all sides.  Again, cut your corners up to your score lines, fold in the flap and adhere using Sticky Strip.

The boxes come together quickly, and just decorate accordingly.  I am not going to list all of the supplies I used to make the cards, but the important tools needed are listed below.
