box o' cards - a photo on Flickriver

box o' cards

            Photo on left is view from top, photo on R is box with lid open (it has side hinge.)
When I buy scrapbook paper online, there is often thin chipboard inside to help protect the patterned papers during transit.

I repurposed one of those protective sheets into a gift box for a set of cards for a friend.   It basically looks like kraft cardstock, but about ?twice the thickness.  I worked out how to score and cut the cardstock to make a box JUST big enough to hold C6 sized envelopes.

Then I stamped, coloured and collaged.  I attached a twill trim around the side of box lid and added a recycled buckle.  It came from my son's old shoes 2 years ago that were too beaten up to pass on.

Hero Arts clear design sets sending happy thoughts, cute letters, dots & lines; tree, birds & messages. 

P.S.- I'd be happy to share the template for the card box if enough people are interested, just leave me a comment to let me know.    A good one probably already exists elsewhere too,  maybe if you know of one you could post it in the comments here or on the discussion board.
