Time to put the cards in a box

The 'Breeze' set of cards are now in a box........which once contained some Neal's Yard potions.......the lid was the perfect background colour.......and the box is kraft........so that needed no decorating at all.......just a bit of altering on the top and sides of the lid.....using leftover scraps......and a few letter stickers.
Please excuse the awful colours of the photos!!!!

 This is the set of cards.

The decorated box lid....the butterfly was stamped,cut out and stuck on....but I didn't want too much 3D stuff that could get ruined in use....practicality rules!!!

The cards popped into the box........you can see it's not full.......I may make a couple more.

As it's going to be a gift.......I thought maybe I should work out approximate costs.

The paper pack was £5.45 and I used about 3/4 of it plus a couple of A4 pieces of card that cost about 3p each........a small amount of glue,ink,ribbon and double sided tape.......the A5 card blanks were given to me....and as I rarely use that size it's a good way of using them up. Total cost approximately £4.50....not bad.

This doesn't,of course, factor in the cost of 'equipment'.......but because I used the paper pack.....even that was pretty minimal........trimmer, circle punches and 2 stamp sets.
