Hi dear crafty friends! Today I want to share a quick and easy project: Cards Set Box. Scrap & Craft DT. This is a great project to create as a gift or as a stash of cards made in advance for any occasion you might need.   Cards Set Box.

This way you’ll always match the sentiment to the occasion. Products …
