I loved this box the first time I saw it (yesterday)! I’m making one now and I have a question. Under “Inside Cardstock”, you list “2 pieces cut to 2 1/2” x 5 3/4"" two times. I cannot figure out what to do with all four pieces. I understand that two will cover the front and back sides (inside), but where are the other two used?

OMG you do not know how long I’ve been trying to find something like this. I did 140 cards to make sets for people last year for Christmas. I couldn’t find anything under $10, so I resorted to $1 store XMas Zip Lock bags, NO LAUGHING! They were not my first choice. This id WAY better for this years bundle. Thank so so so much from your Northern Friends here in Ontario Canada.

May may,
Thank you for sharing this beautiful box along with the clear and very simplified instructions. You help bring the enjoyment back to crafting when you encourage others with your talent and generosity. Many put their works of art out there but very few demonstrate with instructions. Please keep up the great job you do because kindness does matter!
