One of my most favorite things to do is make sets of cards! Just LOVE it and am always looking for ideas. I found a wonderful idea on Chiaki Haverstick's blog. I just fell in love with her set and just had to make them - of course not exactly like hers, but used current product!
Here's the set and I'll share each card and the box separately
Here's the box - it's just a quick A2 card box (fits 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cards), but the LOVED using the window sheets to make it a "see-through"!! And it has a belly band!
and the pictures of the cards
