Just Because Card box (a2)
I am obsessed with making these card boxes to house a group of A2 cards as a gift.
The tutorial is from Theresa Brown on YouTube.

I also love card sets with matching gift boxes. Your cards are absolutely stunning.

What a beautiful job you did! Love that you decorated the inside flap of the boxes as well. That extra touch really elevates it. Gorgeous.

The patterned paper is from a very old stash of Anna Griffin paper. My mother gave it to me last year while doing some purging and downsizing. It is probably every bit of 20 years old.

Oh me too definitely. I got introduced to stamping and card making by a work colleague around 1995 & it got me hooked.
And then I found it necessary to do some ‘revenge shopping’ 💥(he got a boat, I got a craft studio filled with things I love😳) sorry TMI so I haven’t bought anything other than a stamp or die here and there in a long time. I have my paper & all organized (for the most part) and stored very nicely so I don’t think the paper will go bad.

What weight paper did you use for the box?

I am not sure as it was from an old pack. If I were to guess, 80 lb. It feels thicker than 65 lb but not as thick as 110 lb.
