I have always found the gift of handmade cards to be one of the best received gifts. I love that people appreciate how nice these cards look over a store-bought card and even thought not everyone likes to make their own greeting cards, they do love to send them.

I hope you will give this simple DIY gift box a try!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends! Please stop by tomorrow for a Speedy Delivery Christmas card. You are going to love how easy and fast tomorrow’s card is to make!  See you then!
